  • Publication number: 20150043172
    Abstract: There is provided a circuit module and a method of producing the same where interlayer wirings of a circuit substrate are prevented from damaging by laser irradiation, and a shield is assuredly electrically connected to the superficial conductor of the circuit substrate. The circuit substrate includes mount components, a sealing body, and a shield. The circuit substrate is a multi-layer substrate on which interlayer wirings are formed, and includes a mount surface on which a superficial conductor is disposed. The mount components are mounted on the mount surface. The sealing body is formed on the mount surface, covers the mount component and has a trench including a first trench section reaching the superficial conductor and a second trench section not reaching the superficial conductor. The shield has an outer shield section and an inner shield section.

  • Publication number: 20150016066
    Abstract: A circuit module includes a wiring substrate, an electronic component, a sealing layer, and a conductive shield. The wiring substrate has a mount surface. The electronic component is mounted on the mount surface. The sealing layer is formed of an insulating material, covers the electronic component, and has a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being opposite to the mount surface and having a first sealing area and a second sealing area, the second sealing area projecting from the first sealing area to an opposite side of the mount surface, the second surface being connected to the mount surface and the first surface. The conductive shield covers at least the second surface and the first sealing area of the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20060186519
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises columnar electrodes including columnar portions and ball-shaped low-melting point layers joined to the top surfaces of columnar portions. The amount of plating of the low-melting point layer and the cross-sectional area of the columnar portion are adjusted in such a way that the relationship represented by A?1.3×B1.5 is satisfied, where the volume of each of the low-melting point layers is represented by A and the area of the top surface of each of the columnar portions is represented by B. Consequently, the low-melting point layer is prevented from trickling on a side surface of the columnar portion during formation of the ball by reflow of the low-melting point layer.
