Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mounting substrate includes a resin layer and a first conductor including a contact surface in contact with the resin layer. The first conductor includes a first surface facing toward the mounting surface and a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface and extends in a direction parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface. The first conductor has a difference of a maximum value and a minimum value of a distance between the first surface and the mounting surface smaller than a difference of a maximum value and a minimum value of a distance between the second surface and the mounting surface. The resin layer includes a resin wall portion surrounding an opening portion partially exposing the first conductor on the mounting surface side, and the first conductor includes an exposed portion defining a mounting electrode.

First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A mounting substrate comprising: a resin layer; and a first conductor including a contact surface in contact with the resin layer; wherein the resin layer has a smooth mounting surface; the first conductor includes a first surface facing toward the mounting surface and a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface and extends in a direction parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface; the first conductor has a non-uniform thickness varying a distance between the first surface and the second surface along an extending direction; the first conductor has a difference of a maximum value and a minimum value of a distance between the first surface and the mounting surface that is smaller than a difference of a maximum value and a minimum value of a distance between the second surface and the mounting surface; the resin layer includes a resin wall portion surrounding an opening portion partially exposing the first conductor on the mounting surface side; the first conductor includes an exposed portion defining a mounting electrode. 2. The mounting substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface of the first conductor is provided on a plane parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface. 3. The mounting substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the first conductor includes a first coil portion having a winding axis orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the mounting surface and wound to define a contact surface with the resin layer. 4. The mounting substrate according to claim 3 , wherein the first coil portion has an average value of about 1 or more of a ratio of a thickness in a direction of the winding axis to a thickness in a width direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the winding axis direction and the extending direction. 5. The mounting substrate according to claim 3 , wherein the first coil portion includes adjacent conductor portions and has an average value of about 0.5 or less of a ratio of a gap between the adjacent conductor portions to the thickness of one of the conductor portions. 6. The mounting substrate according to claim 3 , wherein the first coil portion has a planar spiral shape. 7. The mounting substrate according to claim 1 , further comprising: a second conductor including a contact surface in contact with the resin layer and connected to the first conductor; wherein the second conductor includes a first surface facing toward the mounting surface and a second surface on the side opposite to the first surface and extends in a direction parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface; and the second conductor has a non-uniform thickness varying a distance between the first surface and the second surface along the extending direction. 8. The mounting substrate according to claim 7 , wherein a difference of a maximum value and a minimum value of a distance between the first surface of the second conductor and the mounting surface is smaller than a difference of a maximum value and a minimum value of a distance between the second surface of the second conductor and the mounting surface. 9. The mounting substrate according to claim 7 , wherein the first surface of the second conductor is provided on a plane parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface. 10. The mounting substrate according to claim 7 , wherein the second conductor includes a second coil portion having a winding axis orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the mounting surface and wound to define a contact surface with the resin layer. 11. The mounting substrate according to claim 10 , wherein the second coil portion has an average value of about 1 or more of a ratio of a thickness in the winding axis direction to a thickness in a width direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the winding axis direction and a winding direction. 12. The mounting substrate according to claim 10 , wherein the second coil portion includes adjacent conductor portions and has an average value of about 0.5 or less of a ratio of a gap between the adjacent conductor portions to the thickness of one of the conductor portions. 13. The mounting substrate according to claim 10 , wherein the second coil portion has a planar spiral shape. 14. The mounting substrate according to claim 1 , wherein an average value of the distance between the mounting surface and the first surface of the first conductor is smaller than a minimum value of the distance between the first surface of the first conductor and the second surface of the first conductor. 15. An electric element comprising: the mounting substrate according to claim 1 ; and a support substrate including a connection terminal; wherein the mounting electrode of the mounting substrate is bonded via a bonding member to the connection terminal of the support substrate. 16. The electric element according to claim 15 , wherein the first surface of the first conductor is provided on a plane parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface. 17. A vibrating plate comprising: the mounting substrate according to claim 1 . 18. An electric component comprising: the mounting substrate according to claim 1 ; a housing including a connection terminal; and a magnet; wherein the mounting electrode of the mounting substrate is bonded via a bonding member to the connection terminal; and the magnet is provided on a side opposite to the mounting surface of the mounting substrate. 19. The electric component according to claim 18 , wherein the first surface of the first conductor is provided on a plane parallel or substantially parallel to the mounting surface.
