  • Patent number: 8971054
    Abstract: A component assembly that can be easily built in a main substrate with high accuracy is formed such that a glass transition temperature of a built-in-component layer of an assembly substrate in which multiple capacitors are embedded is higher than a glass transition temperature of a built-in-component layer of a built-in-component substrate. Thus, thermal deformation of the component assembly is prevented when the built-in-component substrate in which the component assembly is built is heated during reflow, for example. The component assembly can thus be highly accurately built in the built-in-component substrate. Moreover, when the component assembly in which the multiple capacitors are embedded is built in the built-in-component substrate, electrode pads of the component assembly in which the multiple capacitors are embedded can be electrically connected to wiring layers of the built-in-component substrate by soldering despite the variation in height among the capacitors.

    Abstract: A component-incorporated wiring substrate is provided. Some embodiments include a plate-like component incorporated in a core substrate and a build-up layer having an insulation layer and a conductor layer disposed in alternating layers. The component has terminal electrodes formed at its opposite ends having a side surface and a main surface. An insulation layer disposed on the main surface of the component has via conductors formed therein which are connected to the side surfaces and the main surfaces of the respective terminal electrodes. The via conductors are tapered, such that their via diameter decreases in a direction toward the terminal electrode, and their via diameter at a position where they connect to the main surface is greater than a length of the main surface. Accordingly, the area of connection between the via conductors and the corresponding terminal electrodes is increased, improving connection reliability through enhancement of tolerance for positional deviation.
