A resin layer for serving as a dielectric layer of the capacitor portion is formed on a surface of the wiring layer using an electrophoretic process.

Abstract:
At least four terminal electrodes are provided on a surface of multi-layer substrate main body. An electric functional layer is selectively provided at an internal area of said multi-layer substrate placed at a downward position of all terminal electrodes in a substrate thickness direction. A semiconductor device is flip-chip-bonded to the terminal electrodes. Thus, the semiconductor device is electrically connected to the electric functional layer at a short distance. As a result, a reduction in parasitic inductance and an improvement in high frequency characteristic can be accomplished. Generation of height variations between the terminal electrodes can be prevented, and the semiconductor device is stably flip-chip-bonded to the multi-layer substrate.

Abstract:
A chip carrier system for supporting electronic semiconductor chips is provided with a matched coefficient of thermal expansion as well as a high value of capacitance. The carrier provides both mechanical and electrical connections to the chip. A small sized interposer for a silicon chip possesses high capacitance. An array of dot capacitors is formed between laminated layers of ceramic material. In some cases, conductive surfaces are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of a thin film of ceramic material in which dielectric bodies are interspersed in an array of openings therein. The resultant ceramic dielectric combination has a coefficient of thermal expansion which matches the coefficient of thermal expansion of the silicon chip and the substrate thereby relieving stress upon the solder ball joints between the interposer and both the chip and the substrate. This minimizes the mechanical stress upon the solder ball joints during thermal cycling of the structure. Alternatively, an array of multilayer ceramic capacitors has an array of dielectric bodies located within holes in ceramic layers between capacitor plates, or entire arrays of capacitors are formed in the space between ceramic sheets.
