  • Patent number: 8030201
    Abstract: A first electronic circuit component and a second electronic circuit component are electrically connected to an electro-conductive member via a first solder and a second solder, respectively. The electro-conductive member is formed in a resin film. The electro-conductive member is configured as containing a second diffusion barrier metal film. The second diffusion barrier metal film prevents diffusion of the second solder. Between the electro-conductive member and the first solder, a first diffusion barrier metal film is provided. The first diffusion barrier metal film prevents diffusion of the first solder. On the first surface of the resin film and on the electro-conductive member, an adhesive metal film is formed so as to contact with the resin film and the electro-conductive member. The adhesive metal film has stronger adhesiveness to the resin film than either of those of the first solder and the first diffusion barrier metal film.

  • Publication number: 20110221071
    Abstract: In an electronic device having multilayer resin interconnection layers, it is desired to reduce the warp of its support substrate. It is manufactured by: forming a lower layer including a via and a first insulating part on the support substrate; and forming an intermediate layer including a first interconnection and a second insulating part covering the first interconnection on the lower layer. The lower layer is formed by: forming the first insulating part on a first circuit region and a first region surrounding it; and forming the via on the first circuit region. The intermediate layer is formed by: forming the first interconnection on the first circuit region; forming a film of the second insulation part to cover the lower layer; and removing the second insulating part on the first region such that an outer circumferential part of an upper surface of the lower layer part is exposed.
