  • Publication number: 20110198115
    Abstract: An electronic component built-in module includes an electronic component, a substrate on which the electronic component is mounted, a first resin covering the electronic component and the substrate, and a second resin covering the surface of the first resin. The first resin is formed of a resin including pores. The first resin is formed so that the thickness of the first resin on an area where the electronic component is not mounted is larger than that on an area where the electronic component is mounted on the surface of the substrate. A porosity of the second resin is smaller than that of the first resin.

  • Patent number: 6500535
    Abstract: The invention provides a heat-resistant, low-dielectric polymeric material that is preferably a copolymer in which a non-polar &agr;-olefin base polymer segment and a vinyl aromatic copolymer segment are chemically combined with each other, and that is a thermoplastic resin showing a multi-phase structure in which a dispersion phase formed by one segment is finely dispersed in a continuous phase formed by another segment. It is thus possible to achieve a polymeric material that is excellent in heat resistance, has high strength, and has a low dielectric constant and a reduced dielectric loss, and so is suitable for an electrical insulating material for high-frequency purposes.
