  • Publication number: 20230119671
    Abstract: A module includes: a substrate including a first surface and including first and second sides; a component as a first component mounted on the first surface; a first sealing resin arranged to cover the first surface and the first component; and a first shield film. An inclined portion is formed in the substrate. The substrate includes a first lead electrode arranged to be exposed to the inclined portion along the first side, and a second lead electrode arranged to be exposed to the inclined portion along the second side, and each of these is connected to the first shield film. A height of the second lead electrode is different from a height of the first lead electrode.

  • Publication number: 20230107390
    Abstract: The module includes a substrate, a first component mounted on a first surface, a first sealing resin, and a first shield film. When viewed in a cross section taken along a plane perpendicular to the first surface, the substrate is formed with a step portion. The substrate includes a first extraction electrode disposed to be exposed to the step portion. The first extraction electrode is connected to a first shield film. The first shield film includes one or more thick portions having a film thickness greater than that of the other portions in the step portion.

  • Publication number: 20230013032
    Abstract: A module includes a substrate having a first surface and at least one recess on the first surface, and an electronic component mounted on the first surface. The electronic component is connected to the substrate via a plurality of bumps. All of the plurality of bumps are connected to the first surface inside any of the at least one recess. A height of the plurality of bumps is greater than a depth of the at least one recess. When viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first surface, a part of the electronic component is located outside an outer periphery of any recess selected from the at least one recess.

  • Patent number: 11049831
    Abstract: A circuit substrate that includes a substrate having a major surface, a multilayer body on the major surface, and an insulating layer that covers the major surface. The multilayer body includes a first layer and a second layer that overlies the first layer. The first layer is made of a first metal as a main material thereof, and the second layer is made of a second metal as a main material thereof. The second metal has a higher solder wettability than the first metal. As viewed perpendicular to the major surface, the insulating layer is spaced from and surrounds the surface of the second layer so as to define a recess between the multilayer body and the insulating layer.

  • Patent number: 8791785
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a module including a planar coil, and a module including a planar coil, reduce manufacturing cost and also are able to handle a large current. The method for manufacturing the module including the planar coil includes the steps of providing a second resin layer including a magnetic filler on a first resin layer with a built-in chip-type electronic component; providing a planar coil on the second resin layer; and providing a third resin layer including a non-magnetic property so as to coat the planar coil.

  • Patent number: 8675367
    Abstract: A module incorporating electronic component includes a substrate, a wiring pattern located on at least one surface of the substrate, at least one electronic component electrically bonded to the wiring pattern, and bonded to the substrate, and a sealing resin arranged to cover the surface of the substrate including the bonded electronic component. The wiring pattern includes a plurality of land electrodes, and electrically bonded to the electronic component or a via conductor, and a wiring electrode arranged to connect the land electrodes, and an insulating resin is disposed on the wiring electrode except for a boundary between the land electrode and the wiring electrode, so as to cross at least one boundary between the substrate and the wiring electrode such that an adhesion strength between the insulating resin and the sealing resin is higher than an adhesion strength between the insulating resin and the wiring pattern.
