For providing a semiconductor package with improved moisture resistance and high reliability and a production method thereof, a solder resist is also provided in an appropriate thickness between electrodes of conductor circuits on a surface of a substrate. The resist in these portions is obtained by patterning the solder resist while leaving the solder resist between the conductor circuits by removing the unnecessary solder resist under irradiation of a laser.

Semiconductor package and production method thereof

A printed circuit board is free from any residue of the carbide of resin produced on the surface of its copper foil exposed after boring a blind hole by means of a laser beam. Such a printed circuit board is adapted to have a blind hole bored through an insulator until the hole gets to the copper foil arranged under the insulator by irradiating the insulator with a laser beam. A laser beam absorbing region is provided between said insulator and said copper foil

There is disclosed a mold for pressing molding of an optical element of glass. On at least the molding surface of the mold base of the mold, there is formed a mixing layer which consists of carbon and at least one of the elements constituting the mold base. The atomic percentage of carbon increases toward the molding surface and decreases toward the mold base, while the atomic percentage of the other element decreases toward the surface and increases toward the mold base. The mold may contain an intermediate layer at least on the molding surface of the mold base.

Mold for forming an optical element

A mold used for press-molding precision parts, such as an optical element formed of glass. A carbon film is formed at least on the molding surface of a matrix of the mold via an intermediate layer or without such a layer. The carbon film is shaped with a carbon ion beam having a desired ion energy such that a plurality of projections having an average height of from 0.5 to 30 nm are arranged at an average pitch of from 5 to 30 nm. Such a shape of the carbon film decreases the surface energy and frictional coefficient of the film and increases adhesion strength of the film to the matrix without impairing the surface roughness of an optical element to be molded. Thus, a resultant mirror surface of the mold is highly durable, free from film peeling and cracks in the formation of glass.
