  • Publication number: 20150223332
    Abstract: In a wiring substrate, formation of voids due to underfill filling failure is suppressed. A wiring substrate includes an insulating base layer, an insulating layer laminated on the base layer, and an electrically conductive connection terminal projecting from the insulating layer inside an opening. The insulating layer has a first surface with an opening, and a second surface located within the opening and being concave toward the base layer in relation to the first surface. The second surface extends from the first surface to the connection terminal inside the opening. On a cut surface which is a flat surface extending along a lamination direction in which the insulating layer is laminated on the base layer, an angle which is larger than 0° but smaller than 90° is formed between a normal line extending from an arbitrary point on the second surface toward the outside of the insulating layer and a parallel line extending from the arbitrary point toward the connection terminal in parallel to the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20150216059
    Abstract: To provide a wiring board in which wiring conductors are securely protected by a precise and rigid dam portion formed on an outermost layer of a laminate and that is excellent in connection reliability with a semiconductor chip. A laminate that configures this wiring board includes multiple connection terminal portions and wiring conductors as a conductor layer of the outermost layer. The wiring conductors are arranged at predetermined positions, passing through between multiple connection terminal portions for flip-chip mounting a semiconductor chip. A resin insulating layer of the outermost layer of the laminate has a dam portion and a reinforcement portion. The dam portion covers the wiring conductors. The reinforcement portion is formed, between the wiring conductor and the connection terminal portion that is adjacent to the wiring conductor, lower than a height of the dam portion. The reinforcement portion is concatenated with a side surface of the dam portion.

  • Patent number: 8328426
    Abstract: A rotatable member (40) such as a sprocket is rotatably mounted on a fixed shaft member (32), and a first oil passage (72) extending in a radial direction is formed by a thrust member (36) abutting an axial end surface of the rotating member. The inner end of the first oil passage communicates with a radial bearing interface (A) of the rotatable member, and an oil jet ejected from an orifice (68) of an oil nozzle (66) is directed to an open outer end of the first lubricating oil passage. Because the first oil passage is fixed in position, the radial bearing interface receives an adequate supply of lubricating oil fed from the oil nozzle. The other axial end of the rotating member may be provided with a second lubricating oil passage (82) which also extends in a radial direction, the second lubricating oil passage having an open outer end and an open inner end communicating with the radial bearing interface.
