  • Patent number: 10111331
    Abstract: An interlayer connection conductor penetrates through first layers of a multilayer body and projects from an upper surface. In a component mounting substrate, the projection length of the interlayer connection conductor from the upper surface in the lamination direction is adjusted such that a difference between a connection position of the interlayer connection conductor and a conductive bonding portion and a connection position of a connection electrode and a conductive bonding portion in the lamination direction is a difference. A difference between the length of the conductive bonding portion and the length of the conductive bonding portion in the lamination direction is canceled by the difference. As a result, the upper surface and a lower surface are parallel with each other to prevent a high-frequency component from tilting with respect to a mounting substrate, thereby preventing electric connection failure and lowering of bonding strength due to the tilt.
