  • Patent number: 9918381
    Abstract: A component-embedded substrate includes a substrate portion, an embedded electronic component, and a resin portion. The substrate portion has inner electrodes on an inner principal surface. The embedded electronic component has terminal electrodes and is mounted to the substrate portion via solder fillets adhering to the respective terminal electrodes and the respective inner electrodes. The resin portion is stacked on the substrate portion, with the embedded electronic component embedded therein. The resin portion includes a no-filler-added layer and a filler-added layer. The no-filler-added layer extends from the inner principal surface to a height which allows at least the solder fillets to be covered. The filler-added layer contains an inorganic filler and extends from an interface with the no-filler-added layer to a height which allows at least the embedded electronic component to be covered.

  • Publication number: 20080149381
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a component incorporating module, lands for mounting components are independently formed on a transfer plate in an isolated manner, and circuit components are connected to the lands for mounting components. An insulation resin layer is formed so as to cover the circuit components on the transfer plate, and is hardened. The circuit components and the lands for mounting components are embedded in the upper resin layer. Thereafter, the transfer plate is removed from the resin layer, and wiring patterns which are used to connect between lands or connect lands to other portions are formed on a back surface of the resin layer on which the lands for mounting components are exposed.

  • Patent number: 7276841
    Abstract: A multilayer ceramic device includes an external electrode disposed on a piezoelectric ceramic body including internal electrodes. The external electrode is a sintered body in which an Ag grid is integrally embedded in a coating film primarily composed of Ag. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a multilayer ceramic device having outstanding properties, such as durability and moisture resistance, without leading to poor electrical continuity and a decrease in conductivity even when a continuous operation is performed for a prolonged period of time.
