Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A module includes a wiring board; a plurality of mounting electrodes for component mounting, the mounting electrodes being disposed on one principal surface of the wiring board; a plurality of components mounted on the one principal surface of the wiring board and solder-connected to the mounting electrodes; a solder resist being a photosensitive resin configured to cover the one principal surface of the wiring board, with a plating electrode layer of each mounting electrode exposed; and a sealing resin layer disposed on the one principal surface of the wiring board, the sealing resin layer being configured to cover the photosensitive resin and the components connected to the mounting electrodes. A recess substantially wedge-shaped in cross section is provided at a boundary between the plating electrode layer of each mounting electrode and the solder resist, and the recess is filled with resin of the sealing resin layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A module comprising: a wiring board; a mounting electrode for component mounting, the mounting electrode being disposed on one principal surface of the wiring board; a component mounted on the one principal surface of the wiring board and solder-connected to the mounting electrode; a photosensitive resin covering the one principal surface of the wiring board with at least a connection surface of the mounting electrode exposed, the connection surface being connected to the component; and a sealing resin layer disposed on the one principal surface of the wiring board, the sealing resin layer covering the photosensitive resin and the component connected to the mounting electrode, wherein an edge of the photosensitive resin contacts a side of the mounting electrode and a portion of the photosensitive resin above the edge slopes away from the side of the mounting electrode to form a substantially V-shaped recess at a boundary between the mounting electrode and the photosensitive resin; and the recess is filled with resin of the sealing resin layer. 2. The module according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting electrode has a two-layer structure including a surface electrode layer disposed on the wiring board, and a plating electrode layer stacked on the surface electrode layer. 3. The module according to claim 2 , wherein as viewed in a direction orthogonal to the one principal surface, an area of the plating electrode layer is smaller than an area of the surface electrode layer; and the photosensitive resin is positioned to contact the surface electrode layer and define the recess at a boundary of the plating electrode layer. 4. The module according to claim 2 , wherein the plating electrode layer covers an outer surface of the surface electrode layer, except a surface in contact with the wiring board. 5. The module according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the mounting electrode is coated with a solder film. 6. The module according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the photosensitive resin is roughened. 7. The module according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring board is any one of a resin substrate, a glass epoxy resin substrate, and a ceramic substrate. 8. The module according to claim 1 , wherein the photosensitive resin is a solder resist.
