Abstract: A wiring body, used for manufacturing a substrate, includes a columnar body, having an axis, made of fired porous inorganic insulator impregnated with an organic insulator; and a large number of metallic fine wires embedded in the columnar body in parallel with the axis while the metallic fine wires are arranged at intervals, wherein a ratio of the inorganic insulator in the columnar body is 50 to 80 volume %, preferably 50 to 60 volume %. A method for manufacturing a wiring body includes the steps of charging a dispersed solution, in which inorganic insulating powder is dispersed, into a container in which a number of metallic fine wires are arranged in parallel with the axis, drying the dispersed solution, and firing inorganic insulating powder so that the porosity of the fired body can be in a range from 20 to 50 volume % so as to form a columnar body; and the steps of impregnating the obtained porous columnar body with uncured organic insulating material, and curing the organic insulating material.

Abstract: A semiconductor chip mounting board includes a base material made of resin; a metallized pattern formed on a surface of the base material which defines a die-pad area on which a semiconductor chip is to be mounted; and the metallized pattern comprising a plurality of zigzag shaped pattern lines along imaginary straight line segments radially, outwardly extending from a central position of the die-pad area. The metallized pattern may be a plurality of zigzag shaped pattern portions along imaginary concentric circles having a center at a central position of the die-pad area. Otherwise, the metallized pattern may be a plurality of closed loop shaped frames which are overlapped on each other in a zigzag manner.

Abstract: A fired body for manufacturing a substrate is pillar-shaped and includes metallic wires arranged inside the fired body in parallel with its axis. The melting point of the metallic wires is higher than the melting point, pour point or softening point of an insulating base body of the fired body. A method of manufacturing a substrate includes the steps or: forming a pillar-shaped unfired body in which metallic wire rods having a melting point higher than the firing temperature of a fired body are embedded inside and in parallel with the axis; firing the unfired body at a temperature higher than the melting point of the fired body; and cutting the fired body in a direction perpendicular to the axis and to a predetermined thickness.

Abstract: A lead frame includes a chip mount board, on which a semiconductor chip is to be mounted, and a lead frame body. The chip mount board is made of an electrically insulated substrate and conductive patterns are formed on said insulated substrate. The lead frame body includes a plurality of leads arranged side by side to constitute a co-planar structure and used as signal leads and as ground or power supply leads arranged at the sides of said signal lead. The signal lead has a predetermined width and predetermined distances to the adjacent ground or power supply leads, and the width and distances are determined in such a manner that the signal lead has a desired characteristic impedance. A semiconductor chip is mounted on said chip mount board, electrically connected the conductive patterns on the chip mount board and, hermetically sealed with resin.

Abstract: An aluminum nitride circuit board included an aluminum nitride ceramic as an insulating material and a conductor circuit which is formed at least as an inner conductor and is made of at least one of gold, copper or silver.
