  • Publication number: 20130242517
    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.

  • Patent number: 8381394
    Abstract: A circuit board has an embedded electronic component such as an integrated circuit chip with a wafer level chip size package. A via hole extends through the electronic component. Another via hole extends through the substrate or prepreg on which the electronic component is mounted inside the circuit board. Conductors in the via holes enable a terminal on the surface of the electronic component to be electrically connected to a wiring pattern or another electronic component on the opposite side of the substrate or prepreg. Routing the connection through the electronic component itself saves space and reduces the length of the connection.
