  • Patent number: 9536664
    Abstract: In an electronic component, capacitor conductors include linear portions parallel or substantially parallel to a lower surface of a laminate, and lead-out portions led out respectively from the linear portions to the lower surface. Outer electrodes are disposed on the lower surface and cover exposed portions where the lead-out portions are exposed at the lower surface, respectively. At least one of the linear portions includes a groove, which is recessed in a direction away from the lower surface, in a region thereof overlapping with the corresponding outer electrode when looking at the electronic component in a plan view from a z-axis direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8890002
    Abstract: A resin multilayer substrate includes a component-containing layer and a thin resin layer stacked on a surface of the component-containing layer. The resin multilayer substrate further includes a surface electrode located on a surface opposite to the surface of the thin resin layer stacked on the component-containing layer, a first via conductor provided in the component-containing layer, which includes an end reaching one surface of the component-containing layer, and a second via conductor provided in the thin resin layer, which includes a first end electrically connected to the surface electrode and a second end electrically connected to the via conductor. A portion of the thin resin layer in contact with the second via conductor defines a projection projecting into the first via conductor.

  • Publication number: 20120176751
    Abstract: An electronic component module includes a substrate including a first electrode pattern and a first resist pattern on a first main surface thereof, a first electronic component mounted on the first main surface via the first electrode pattern, and a component-embedding resin layer provided on the first main surface so as to embed the first electronic component therein, and including, in an inside portion or a lateral portion thereof, an interlayer connection conductor connecting the first electrode pattern and an external connection electrode pattern disposed on a surface of the component-embedding resin layer to each other. The first electrode pattern and the first resist pattern are arranged so that the first resist pattern is disposed on top of a circumferential portion of the first electrode pattern.
