A method of manufacturing a wiring board is disclosed. The wiring board has: a capacitor, having multiple electrode layers which oppose each other with a dielectric layer in between, that is connected to a semiconductor chip; one or more via wirings which pierce the electrode layers and which are connected to the semiconductor chip, and pattern wirings connected to the via wirings. The method includes: forming the electrode layers, each having one or more through holes which the via wirings pierce, and the dielectric layer, and forming the capacitor; installing the capacitor such that the capacitor opposes the pattern wirings over an insulating layer; forming one or more via holes which reach the pattern wirings from the through holes; and forming the via wiring in the via hole.

Dielectric powder and thick-film paste compositions are formed having high dielectric constants, low loss tangents, and other desirable electrical and physical properties. Conductive powder and paste compositions are formed having desirable electrical and physical properties. The dielectric powder and thick-film paste compositions can be used in combination with the conductive powder and paste compositions to form capacitors and other fired-on-foil passive circuit components.
Abstract:
The present invention embeds passive components within a multilayer substrate used for mounting integrated circuits and other electronic components to form an electronic module or circuit board. During construction of the multilayer substrate, passive components are attached to an inside surface of a metallic foil layer. The inside surface of the metallic foil layer is then laminated to another metallic foil layer, such that the foil layers are parallel to but separated from each other. As such, the passive component is embedded within the multilayer substrate. Contacts are formed for the passive component by etching away portions of the foil layer on which the passive component resides. Electrical connections can be routed in the foil to effectively couple the passive component to a circuit formed on the multilayer substrate as desired. The embedded passive components can take various forms, such as capacitors, inductors, and resistors.
Abstract:
A thick-film resistor component may include a thick film component formed between a thick-film resistor and an electrically conductive sheet, wherein a portion of the sheet is selectively removed to form resistor contacts while exposing a portion of the thick-film component. Electrical terminals to a thick-film resistor may be sized to reduce stress and/or be selectively positioned relative to the resistor to define a desired resistor value. A thick-film resistor may include one or more resistor segments configured to be selectively open-circuited to incrementally adjust the value of the resistor.
Abstract:
A printed wiring board (PWB) has stacked innerlayer panels comprised of passive circuit elements. The passive elements can include capacitors with electrode terminations located within the footprints of the capacitor electrodes. The capacitor terminations are therefore closely spaced, reducing the capacitors' contributions to loop inductance in the innerlayer. Capacitor terminations within the electrode footprints also reduce the PWB board surface area used in forming the capacitors.
