Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a method of manufacturing a module board, an electronic component is mounted on a first principal surface of a small board. A cavity defining a through hole is formed in a core board. The electronic component is housed in the cavity by mounting the small board on a surface electrode arranged around the cavity. Resin layers are formed on both principal surfaces of the core board, and resin flows through a gap between the core board and the small board. Hence, the inside of the cavity is filled with the resin, and the electronic component is sealed with the resin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A module board, comprising: a first board including an electronic component mounted on a first principal surface, the first board having a rectangular or substantially rectangular shape including first and second opposed sides, and third and fourth opposed sides extending in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first and second opposed sides; and a second board including a hole arranged to house the electronic component; wherein the first board is mounted on a first principal surface of the second board such that the electronic component is housed in the hole; the first and second opposed sides of the first board overlap portions of the second board when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first principal surface of the first board; the third and fourth opposed sides of the first board overlap the hole so as to spaced away from the second board by a gap when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the first principal surface of the first board; resin layers are located on both the first principal surface and a second principal surface of the second board, and an inside of the hole is filled with resin; the resin layers are located on a second principal surface of the first board opposite to the first principal surface of the first board, on the first and second opposed sides of the first board, and on the third and fourth opposed sides of the first board; and the first and second boards are made of a different material than a material from which the resin layers are made. 2. The module board according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic component housed in the hole protrudes from the second principal surface of the second board. 3. The module board according to claim 1 , wherein the first board includes a recess at the first principal surface of the first board, and the electronic component is mounted in the recess. 4. The module board according to claim 2 , wherein the first board includes a recess at the first principal surface of the first board, and the electronic component is mounted in the recess. 5. The module board according to claim 1 , wherein another electronic component is mounted on the second principal surface of the first board. 6. The module board according to claim 2 , wherein another electronic component is mounted on the second principal surface of the first board. 7. The module board according to claim 3 , wherein another electronic component is mounted on the second principal surface of the first board. 8. The module board according to claim 4 , wherein another electronic component is mounted on the second principal surface of the first board. 9. The module board according to claim 1 , wherein another electronic component is embedded in the first board. 10. The module board according to claim 2 , wherein another electronic component is embedded in the first board. 11. The module board according to claim 3 , wherein another electronic component is embedded in the first board. 12. The module board according to claim 4 , wherein another electronic component is embedded in the first board. 13. The module board according to claim 5 , wherein another electronic component is embedded in the first board. 14. The module board according to claim 6 , wherein another electronic component is embedded in the first board. 15. The module board according to claim 7 , wherein another electronic component is embedded in the first board. 16. The module board according to claim 8 , wherein another electronic component is embedded in the first board. 17. The module board according to claim 1 , wherein the hole is covered with the first board. 18. The module board according to claim 2 , wherein the hole is covered with the first board. 19. The module board according to claim 1 , wherein the resin layer that is located on the first principal surface of the second board completely covers the second principal surface of the first board opposite to the first principal surface of the first board such that the first board is embedded in the resin layer located on the first principal surface of the second board.
