  • Patent number: 9516749
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic component-mounted structure including: a substrate, a conductive wiring pattern formed on a surface of the substrate, and an electronic component having an external terminal and being placed on the surface of the substrate at a mounting position including a terminal joint position of the conductive wiring pattern. The external terminal is joined to the conductive wiring pattern at the terminal joint position such that the external terminal is embedded in the conductive wiring pattern. Therefore, the junction between the external terminal and the conductive wiring pattern can have a high strength as compared with that obtained by joining the external terminal of the electronic component to the conductive wiring pattern merely on the surface of the conductive wiring pattern.

  • Patent number: 9237686
    Abstract: A wiring board on which an electronic component is to be mounted includes a resist having an opening exposing a joint face which is part of the surface of a wiring layer and to which a terminal of the electronic component is to be joined. In the placing step, the electronic component is placed on the wiring board such that the terminal covers the opening entirely and contacts the solder paste applied onto the joint face. Next, the solder paste applied onto the joint face is heated to melt solder and soften thermosetting resin. This allows the solder to gather in a first space within the opening closed with the wiring layer and the electronic component, while allowing the thermosetting resin to gather in a second space formed between a top side of the resist and a lateral side of the electronic component.
