Abstract
A printed circuit board reinforcement structure for a printed circuit board receiving a plurality of surface mounting devices, and an integrated circuit package using the same. The structure includes a hard layer having one or more openings formed at areas corresponding to one or more surface mounting devices with a thickness exceeding a predetermined thickness; and a soft layer bonded to a side of the hard layer so that the soft layer can accommodate the protrusion of the surface mounting devices. The structure prevents defects of a printed circuit board, such as deformation, fracture or the like, while substantially reducing the size of a package by applying a reinforcement structure to a thin printed circuit board, thereby reinforcing the rigidity (mechanical strength) of the thin printed circuit board.
