Abstract
In BGA (Ball Grid Array), LGA (Land Grid Array) and the like, a resin layer is formed between an external connecting electrode of a chip carrier and a circuit wiring board. Consequently, the external connecting electrode can be prevented from cracking due to a difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the external connecting electrode and the circuit wiring board. Thus, the reliability in a thermal shock test can be enhanced. A connecting wiring which is conducted to an electrode of a semiconductor device is provided on a surface of an electrical insulating board, and the external connecting electrode for connection to a connecting electrode of the circuit wiring board is provided on a back face of the electrical insulating board. The external connecting electrode has a solder ball made of a conductor, and the resin layer formed on the side portion thereof.
