A sensor package substrate has through holes Vand Vat a position overlapping a sensor chip mounting area. The through hole Vhas a minimum inner diameter at a depth position D, and the through hole Vhas a minimum inner diameter at a depth position Ddifferent from the depth position D. Thus, since the plurality of through holes are formed at a position overlapping the sensor chip mounting area, the diameter of each of the through holes can be reduced. This makes foreign matters unlikely to enter through the through holes, and a reduction in the strength of the substrate is suppressed. In addition, since the depth position Dand depth position Dare located at different depth levels, it is possible to sufficiently maintain the strength of a part of the substrate that is positioned between the through holes Vand V

Sensor package substrate, sensor module having the same, and sensor package substrate manufacturing method

A sensor package substrate disclosed in the present specification has a mounting area in which a sensor chip is mounted and a controller chip connected to the sensor chip. A through hole is formed in the sensor package substrate so as to overlap the mounting area in a plan view and to penetrate the substrate from one surface to the other surface thereof. The mounting area and the controller chip overlap each other in a plan view. According to the present invention, by reducing the thickness of an insulating layer, it is possible not only to reduce the distance of a wiring for the sensor chip and controller chip, but also to reduce the area of the substrate.

Circuit board incorporating semiconductor IC and manufacturing method thereof

Disclosed herein is a manufacturing method of a circuit board. The manufacturing method includes a first step for preparing a prepreg in which a core material is impregnated with an uncured resin. The prepreg has a through-hole surrounded by the core material and the resin so as to penetrate through the core material and the resin. The manufacturing method further includes a second step for housing a semiconductor IC in the through-hole, and a third step for pressing the prepreg so that a part of the resin flows into the through-hole to allow the semiconductor IC housed in the through-hole to be embedded in the resin.

Disclosed herein is an IC embedded substrate that includes a core substrate having an opening, an IC chip provided in the opening, a lower insulating layer, and upper insulating layer. The IC chip and the core substrate is sandwiched between the lower insulating layer and the upper insulating layer. The upper insulating layer is formed in such a way as to fill a gap between a side surface of the IC chip and an inner peripheral surface of the opening of the core substrate. A first distance from the upper surface of the IC chip to an upper surface of the upper insulating layer is shorter than a second distance from the upper surface of the core substrate to the upper surface of the upper insulating layer.

An electronic component or the like is mounted on a substrate, and on the electronic component, an insulating layer is provided. Afterward, via-holes V are made in the insulating layer on terminals of the electronic component. Each of the terminals of the electronic component has, for example, a laminate structure of a first metal layer, a second metal layer and a third metal layer. When the via-holes V are formed, part of the third metal layer having a comparatively high electric resistance is removed, and the corresponding portion is connected to a wiring layer including via-conductors. Moreover, the third metal layer excellent in close contact properties with the insulating layer is preferably used.
