  • Patent number: 11109481
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a printed wiring board includes forming a base insulating layer, forming a conductor layer on the base layer, forming a solder resist layer on the base layer such that the resist layer covers the conductor layer, forming first opening exposing a first pad of the conductor layer, forming second opening exposing a second pad of the conductor layer and having diameter smaller than diameter of the first opening, forming a first bump on the first pad, and forming a second bump on the second pad such that the second bump has diameter smaller than diameter of the first bump. The first bump includes a first base plating layer and a first top plating layer, and the second bump includes a second base plating layer and a second top plating layer having upper surface higher than the uppermost position of upper surface of the first top layer.

  • Patent number: 8156646
    Abstract: A composite layer composed of an Ni layer and a Pd layer is formed on a solder pad, and a solder on the composite layer is composed of a solder containing no lead. Because a Pd layer (palladium layer) reduces phenomenons such as repellency of the solder, adhesiveness with the solder can be enhanced. Because a Pd layer has a higher degree of rigidity than a gold layer, thermal stress is absorbed into the Pd layer and buffered so as to reduce the degree of transmission of stress to the solder bump, or to the solder layer, by thermal stress.

  • Patent number: 7943861
    Abstract: A composite layer composed of an Ni layer 72 and a Pd layer 73 is formed on a solder pad 77U, and a solder 76? on the composite layer is composed of a solder containing no lead. Because a Pd layer (palladium layer) reduces phenomenons such as repellency of the solder, adhesiveness with the solder can be enhanced. Because a Pd layer has a higher degree of rigidity than a gold layer, thermal stress is absorbed into the Pd layer and buffered so as to reduce the degree of transmission of stress to the solder bump, or to the solder layer, by means of thermal stress.
