A wiring substrate includes a wiring layer, an outermost insulating layer laminated to the wiring layer, and a pad electrically connected to the wiring layer and exposed from a surface of the outermost insulating layer. The pad consists essentially of a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The first metal layer includes a first surface, which is exposed from the surface of the outermost insulating layer, and a second surface, which is located opposite to the first surface. The second metal layer includes is formed between the second surface of the first metal layer and the wiring layer. The first metal layer is formed from a metal selected from gold or silver or from an alloy including at least one of gold and silver. The second metal layer is formed from palladium or a palladium alloy.

Wiring substrate and method for manufacturing wiring substrates

A wiring substrate includes an insulating layer including a reinforcement member and having a first surface and a second surface positioned on an opposite side of the first surface, an electrode pad exposed from the first surface, a layered body including first insulating layers and being formed on the second surface, the first insulating layers having a first insulating material as a main component, another layered body including second insulating layers and being formed on the layered body, the second insulating layers having a second insulating material as a main component, and another electrode pad exposed from a surface of the another layered body that is opposite to the layered body. The number of the first insulating layers is equal to that of the second insulating layers. The first insulating layers have a thermal expansion coefficient that is greater than that of the second insulating layers.
