  • Publication number: 20100244283
    Abstract: Dummy electrodes (15) are disposed on wiring connected to first electrodes (2) of the substrate (1), outside a junction region containing all of the first electrodes (2) and second electrodes (6) and in bonding resin (4), the dummy electrodes (15) not being involved in electrical connection between the substrate (1) and the component (5). When conductive particles (3) in the bonding resin (4) are melted by heating, molten solder self-assembles and solidifies between the first electrodes (2) and the second electrodes (6) and on the dummy electrodes (15). With this configuration, the solder self-assembles between the adjacent dummy electrodes (15) and causes a solder short circuit. Thus it is possible to eliminate excessive solder supply between the adjacent first electrodes (2) and the adjacent second electrodes (6), thereby preventing short circuits between the adjacent first electrodes (2) and the adjacent second electrodes (6).

  • Patent number: 7375421
    Abstract: Thinning and stacking are essential for circuit modules used for mobile devices of various kinds, smart cards, memory cards and the like. These demands make the manufacture of the circuit modules more complicated or less reliable due to delamination. A circuit module of a multilayer structure is provided which is formed by embedding semiconductor chips and passive components in a sheet made from a thermoplastic resin; folding a module sheet, which is formed of circuit blocks provided with wiring patterns thereon, at the boundaries of the circuit blocks so as to be stacked into layers; and thermal-bonding and integrating the module sheet by applying heat and pressure. As a result, a highly reliable circuit module can be manufactured in a simple manner.

  • Publication number: 20070277909
    Abstract: This invention provides such solder paste that prevents, when a minute-size passive component or a semiconductor integrated circuit element having a small terminal pitch is soldered by the solder paste, the solder particles from being oxidized to provide highly-reliable solder joint even when the solder paste is used in a very small amount. Specifically, solder paste obtained by mixing solder alloy powders with flux is structured so that the flux has, at a pre-heating temperature in a heating/melting step, a high temperature retention property by which the flux covers the surface of the solder alloy powders.
