  • Publication number: 20030090883
    Abstract: A component built-in module includes an insulating layer, wirings integrated with both surfaces of the insulating layer, a via connecting the wirings, and one or more components selected from an electronic component and a semiconductor, which is embedded inside of the insulating layer. In this module, at least one of the wirings is formed on a surface of a wiring board, and the components embedded inside of the insulating layer are mounted on and integrated with the wiring board before embedding. This configuration allows the components such as a semiconductor to undergo a mounting inspection and a property inspection before embedding. As a result, the yields of the module can be improved. In addition, since the components are integrated with the wiring board and embedded, the strength thereof can be enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20030062624
    Abstract: A component built-in module includes an electric insulation layer, first wiring patterns in a plurality of layers that are laminated with the electric insulation layer being interposed therebetween, at least one first inner via electrically connecting the first wiring patterns in different layers with each other, and at least one electronic component that is embedded in the electric insulation layer and is mounted on any one of the first wiring patterns in the plurality of layers, wherein at least one of the first inner vias is present in a range that overlaps a range in which the electronic component is present in a lamination direction in which the first wiring patterns are laminated, and has a height in the lamination direction that is smaller than a height of the electronic component. Since the first inner via has a small height, the via diameter can be decreased. Therefore, it is possible to provide a component built-in module that has high reliability and is suitable for high-density component mounting.

  • Patent number: 6521069
    Abstract: A green sheet including a binder containing an acrylic resin having no polar group and a ceramics material in powder is prepared, and connection via are formed in the green sheet. Further, a conductor layer having virtually no voids is placed on the green sheet and a mask is also placed on the conductor layer. Then, the conductor layer is patterned by wet-etching so that wiring is formed thereon. A plurality of the green sheets thus formed are laminated, and a binding sheet, which contains an inorganic composition that has virtually no sintering shrinkage at the firing temperature of the multi-layered body as a main component, is formed on either both surfaces or one surface of the laminated body, and this is then fired, and thereafter, the binding sheet is removed.

  • Publication number: 20020159242
    Abstract: At least two electric elements (203) such as semiconductor chips or surface acoustic wave devices are mounted on wiring patterns (201), and the electric elements (203) are sealed with a thermosetting resin composition (204). An upper surface of the at least two electric elements (203) and an upper surface of the thermosetting resin composition (204) are abraded at the same time, thereby forming surfaces substantially flush with each other. Since they are abraded while being sealed with the thermosetting resin composition (204), it is possible to reduce the thickness without damaging the electric elements (203). Also, the electric elements (203) and the wiring patterns (201) can be prevented from being contaminated by an abrasive liquid. In this manner, it is possible to obtain an electric element built-in module whose thickness can be reduced while maintaining its mechanical strength.
