A method for manufacturing a printed wiring board includes forming a metal film on a surface of an insulative board, a plating resist on the metal film, and a plated-metal film on the metal film exposed from the plating resist, covering a portion of the plated-metal film with an etching resist, etching to reduce thickness of the plated-metal film exposed from the etching resist, removing the resists, and forming a wiring having a pad and a conductive circuit thinner than the pad by removing the metal film exposed through the removing of the plating resist, a solder-resist layer on the surface of the board and wiring, in the layer an opening exposing the pad and a portion of the circuit contiguous to the pad, a solder film on the pad and portion of the circuit exposed through the opening, and a solder bump on the pad by solder reflow.

Printed wiring board

A printed wiring board has an insulative board having a first surface and a second surface on the opposite side of the first surface, a wiring formed on the first surface of the insulative board and having a pad and a conductive circuit contiguous to the pad, and a metal film formed on the pad. The pad is provided to mount an electronic component having a gold bump. The pad has a thickness which is greater than a thickness of the conductive circuit.

Method for manufacturing printed wiring board and printed wiring board

This invention provides a printed wiring board having an intensified drop impact resistance of a joint portion between pad and solder. An electrode pad comprises pad portion loaded with solder ball and a cylindrical portion projecting to the solder ball supporting the pad portion. An outer edge of the pad portion extends sideway from a cylindrical portion so that the outer edge is capable of bending. If the outer edge bends when stress is applied to the solder ball, stress on the outer edge of the pad portion on which stress is concentrated can be relaxed so as to intensify the joint strength between an electrode pad and solder ball.
