A circuit board and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The circuit board includes a core board, a first bonding layer disposed on the core board, and a first wiring layer disposed on the first bonding layer. The first bonding layer enables the first wiring layer to be bonded to the core layer better, thereby preventing delamination and forming a fine-pitch wiring layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of a flip-chip assembly and method using lead-free solder. This assembly incorporates mushroom-plated metal layers that fill and overflow solder resist openings on an organic laminate substrate. The lower portion of metal layer provides structural support to its corresponding solder resist opening. The upper portion (i.e., cap) of each metal layer provides a landing spot for a solder joint between an integrated circuit device and the substrate and, thereby, allows for enhanced solder volume control. The additional structural support, in combination with the enhanced solder volume control, minimizes strain on the resulting solder joints. Additionally, the cap further allows the minimum diameter of the solder joint on the substrate-side of the assembly to be larger than the diameter of the solder resist opening. Thus, the invention decouples C4 reliability concerns from laminate design concerns and, thereby, allows for greater design flexibility.
Abstract:
A process for fabricating a circuit substrate is provided. A patterned conductive layer having an inner pad is provided on a base layer, a dielectric layer is disposed on the base layer and covers the patterned conductive layer, and a covering layer is disposed on the dielectric layer. A part of the covering layer is removed by dry etching to form a first opening. A part of the dielectric layer exposed by the first opening is removed to form a dielectric opening exposing a part of the inner pad. A patterned mask having a second opening to expose a part of the inner pad is formed on the covering layer. A conductive structure including a conductive block filling the dielectric opening, an outer pad filling the first opening and a surplus layer filling the second opening is formed. Finally, the patterned mask, surplus layer and covering layer are removed.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an electronic device comprising a terminal provided with a conductor which penetrates a cured prepreg is provided. At least one opening is formed in the prepreg. The prepreg is attached to a substrate over which an electronic element is formed so that the conductor included in the terminal overlaps with the opening. A conductive paste is provided in a region of the prepreg where the opening is provided. Part of the conductive paste flows into the opening to be in contact with the conductor included in the terminal. Then, heat treatment is performed so that the conductive paste and the prepreg are cured. In the process for manufacturing the terminal, it is not necessary to perform a step of forming an opening with a laser beam after the prepreg is cured. Thus, an adverse effect of a laser beam on the electronic element can be eliminated.
