Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、チップコンデンサやチップ抵抗素子等の電子部品を多数個搭載した状態で小さな投影面積で外部回路基板上に実装することのできる配線基板に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
半導体素子や容量素子・抵抗器等の電子部品を配線基板上に搭載し電気的に接続して成る電子回路は、近年、半導体集積回路(IC)素子の集積度の大幅向上によって小型高密度化が著しく促進されたが、高精度の抵抗器や大容量の容量素子等には、依然としてチップコンデンサやチップ抵抗素子等の個別回路部品が利用される場合が多い。
【0003】
このようにチップコンデンサやチップ抵抗素子等を利用して電子回路を形成する場合に用いられる手法としては、電子回路においては小型化・高密度化を要求されることから、チップ抵抗素子やチップコンデンサといった小型の個別回路部品を半導体集積回路素子等の能動素子とともに平板状の配線基板の表面に、互いの隣接間隔を極力近くするようにして高密度で実装するチップマウント法が一般化している。
【0004】
しかし、これらの能動素子やチップ抵抗素子・チップコンデンサ等の電子部品の小型化にも限度があり、これらの電子部品を配線基板の表面に多数個配設する場合には、配線基板の面積をそれら配設する電子部品の数に応じて大きくする必要があり、電子回路の小型化・高密度化の阻害要因となっているという問題がある。
【0005】
このような問題に対して、配線基板の表面に立体的に電子部品を配置し、それにより結果的に小さな配線基板として、例えば小さな制御装置等の電子回路機器を実現しようとする試みが成されている。
【0006】
例えば、特開平2−288201号公報においては、一方のチップ部品の下部に他方のチップ部品を実装するための空間を形成し、2つのチップ部品を段積みして実装するという手法が提案されている。
【0007】
【特許文献1】
特開平2−288201号公報
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、チップ部品を段積みして実装するとしても、一方のチップ部品の実装高さを高くするにも限界があり、しかもせいぜい2段積みが可能であるのみであって、配線基板の容積利用率も非常に低いものであるという問題点があった。
【0009】
また、配線基板の表面における電子部品を実装するためのパッド(電子部品の電極を接続するための接続用端子)の占有面積は、電子部品が小型化された場合でも大型の電子部品に比べてさほど変わらず、小型電子部品に対する配線基板の小型化、特に、配線基板を平面視したときの面積、すなわち外部回路基板上に実装した場合に占める投影面積を小さくすることが難しいのが現状であった。
【0010】
本発明は、半導体素子等の能動素子やチップコンデンサやチップ抵抗素子等のチップ状等の電子部品を小さな平面積に高密度で実装することが可能で、平面視したときの面積、すなわち外部回路基板上に占める投影面積の小さい電子回路を形成することが可能な配線基板を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の配線基板は、内部に多数の配線導体を有する立方体状の絶縁基体の少なくとも2面以上の側面にそれぞれ電子部品の電極が接続される電極パッドが設けられ、かつ前記絶縁基体の下面に前記配線導体を介して前記電極パッドと電気的に接続された、外部回路基板の回路導体に電気的に接続される接続パッドが設けられたことを特徴とするものである。
【0012】
また本発明の配線基板は、上記構成において、前記接続パッドは、前記下面に多数が配列されており、そのうちの前記下面の角部に位置するものは、他の位置の接続パッドより大きいことを特徴とするものである。
【0013】
本発明の配線基板によれば、立方体状の絶縁基体の少なくとも2面以上の側面にそれぞれ電子部品の電極を接続するための電極パッドを設けたことから、配線基板の平面積を大きくすることなく、電子部品を接続する面積を大きくすることができ、半導体素子等の能動素子やチップコンデンサやチップ抵抗素子等のチップ状等の電子部品を小さな平面積に外部回路基板上への投影面積が小さい状態で高密度に実装することができる。
【0014】
また、電子部品が搭載される面以外の他の平面に、例えば、端子パッドを設けるとともに、この端子パッドに、多くの電子部品を1つの基板上に立体的に搭載したモジュール部品を接続することもできるので、配線基板における容積活用率を非常に高くして、このような配線基板を用いてなる電子回路の小型化・高密度化を極めて容易なものとすることができる。
【0015】
また、本発明の配線基板において、接続パッドを、絶縁基体の下面に多数が配列されたものとするとともに、そのうちの下面の角部に位置するものを、他の位置の接続パッドより大きなものとした場合には、この配線基板に搭載される多数の電子部品の電極を効率良く外部に導出して接続させることができるとともに、この接続パッドのうち角部に位置する接続パッドの大きさを大きくすることで、接続パッドを外部回路基板と接続するための半田等の端子の体積を大きくすることができ、この体積が大きな端子の相対的に小さな変形により熱応力等の応力を効果的に吸収できるため、立方体で体積が大きな絶縁基体と外部回路基板との間に発生する大きな熱応力等の応力を緩和することができ、絶縁基体の下面に形成した接続パッドを外部回路基板の端子パッドに対して長期にわたってより一層確実に電気的接続させることができるので、極めて高い電気的な接続信頼性を有する配線基板とすることができる。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の配線基板を添付の図面に基づき詳細に説明する。
【0017】
図1は本発明の配線基板の実施の形態の一例を示す斜視図であり、図2はその絶縁基体の下面側から見た斜視図である。これらの図において、1は絶縁基体、2は電極パッド、3は接続パッドである。これらの絶縁基体1および電極パッド2、接続パッド3により電子部品4を搭載する配線基板5が構成されている。
【0018】
絶縁基体1は、立方体状であり、その表面、すなわち2面以上の側面に電子部品4を搭載するための基体として機能する。
【0019】
このような絶縁基体1は、ガラスセラミックス焼結体・酸化アルミニウム質焼結体・ムライト質焼結体・窒化アルミニウム質焼結体等から成る。例えばガラスセラミックス焼結体から成る場合であれば、ガラス粉末とセラミック粉末とを有機溶剤・バインダとともにシート状に成形して得た複数のグリーンシートを立方体状に積層するとともに、この積層体を約1000℃で焼成することにより形成される。
【0020】
この絶縁基体1は、内部に多数の配線導体(図示せず)を有している。
【0021】
また、絶縁基体1の少なくとも2面以上の側面には、電子部品4の電極を接続するための電極パッド2が形成されている。
【0022】
また、絶縁基体1の下面には、外部回路基板の回路導体に電気的に接続される接続パッド3が設けられている。
【0023】
そして、電極パッド2と接続パッド3とは、配線導体を介して電気的に接続されている。
【0024】
この電極パッド2に電子部品4の電極を半田等を介して接続するとともに、接続パッド3を外部回路基板の回路導体に半田等を介して接続することにより、絶縁基体1に搭載された電子部品4が電極パッド2・配線導体および接続パッド3を介して外部回路基板の回路導体と電気的に接続される。
【0025】
これらの配線導体・電極パッド2および接続パッド3は、銅・銀等の金属材料から成り、例えば、銅から成る場合であれば、銅粉末および有機溶剤を混練して得た金属ペーストを絶縁基体1となるグリーンシートにスクリーン印刷法等で印刷塗布することにより形成される。
【0026】
本発明の配線基板は、上述のように、内部に多数の配線導体を有する立方体状の絶縁基体1の少なくとも2面以上の側面にそれぞれ電子部品4の電極が接続される電極パッド2を設け、かつ絶縁基体1の下面に配線導体を介して電極パッド2と電気的に接続された、外部回路基板の回路導体に電気的に接続される接続パッド3を設けることが重要である。
【0027】
絶縁基体1を立方体状とすることにより、側面に、多数の電子部品を搭載するための面積を確保することができ、配線基板の平面積、すなわち外部回路基板上に実装する場合の投影面積を小さくして、高密度で電子部品を搭載し実装させることができる。
【0028】
また、この立方体状の絶縁基体1の内部に多数の配線導体を有することから、絶縁基体1の表面に形成した電極パッド2や接続パッド3を効率良く互いに電気的に接続させることができる。
【0029】
さらに本発明の配線基板においては、接続パッド3は、絶縁基体1の下面に多数を配列させておくとともに、そのうちの下面の角部に位置するもの3aを、他の位置の接続パッド3bより大きなものとすることが好ましい。
【0030】
絶縁基体1の下面に多数の接続パッド3を配列させておくことにより、絶縁基体1に搭載される多数の電子部品4の電極を、効率良く外部に導出し、外部回路基板の回路導体と電気的に接続させることができる。
【0031】
また、この多数の接続パッド3のうち、絶縁基体1の下面の角部に位置する接続パッド3aを、他の位置の接続パッド3bより大きなものとしておくことにより、立方体で体積が大きな絶縁基体1と外部回路基板との間で大きな熱応力が発生したとしても、その熱応力は、接続面積が大きな角部に位置する接続パッド3aにより、この角部の接続パッド3aを外部回路基板と接続するための半田等の端子の体積を大きくすることができるため、この体積が大きな端子の相対的に小さな変形により効果的に緩和することができ、絶縁基体1の主面に形成した接続パッド3(3a・3b)を外部回路基板の端子パッドに対して長期にわたってより一層確実に電気的接続させることができるので、極めて高い電気的な接続信頼性を有する配線基板5とすることができる。
【0032】
なお、絶縁基体1の下面の角部に位置する接続パッド3aは、他の位置の接続パッド3bに対して1.2倍乃至1.5倍程度の大きさとすることが好ましい。1.2倍未満では、絶縁基体1と外部回路基板との間での熱応力を効果的に緩和することが困難であり、1.5倍を超えると、隣接する接続パッド3bとの電気的絶縁を保つために距離をあけるため、接続パッド3aの周りに大きな面積を確保することが必要となり絶縁基板1の小型化が困難となる。
【0033】
このような本発明の配線基板5において、電子部品4の電極が電気的に接続される電極パッド2を設ける表面は、絶縁基板1の外部回路基板上に実装する場合の投影面積を小さくし、従来のような、電子部品を搭載する面が1面しかない平板状の配線基板等に比べて多数の電子部品4を絶縁基体1の搭載し、配線基板5の容積利用率を向上させるため、少なくとも2つ以上の側面とすることが必要である。また、電極パッド2は、少なくとも2つ以上の側面にあれば、4つ全ての側面に設けても、さらに上面にも設けてもよく、それによってさらに高密度に電子部品4を搭載して外部回路基板に電気的に接続することが可能となる。
【0034】
また、この立方体状の絶縁基体1の電子部品4が搭載される面以外の他の表面に、例えば端子パッドを設けて、この端子パッドに多くの電子部品を1つの基板上に立体的に搭載したモジュール部品を接続することもでき、これによれば、配線基板5における容積活用率を非常に高くして、このような配線基板5を用いてなる電子回路の小型化・高密度化を極めて容易なものとすることができる。
【0035】
次に、絶縁基体1を酸化アルミニウム質焼結体によって形成し、電極パッド2や配線導体・接続パッド3をタングステンを用いて形成して成る配線基板5を製造するための方法について具体的に説明する。
【0036】
まず、アルミナ粉末に対して、焼結助剤として酸化珪素・酸化マグネシウム・酸化カルシウム等の原料粉末に適当な有機バインダ・有機溶剤・可塑剤・分散剤等を添加混合してはい土を調製し、押し出し成形法や射出成形法にて立方体状の絶縁基体1を形成する。
【0037】
また、上記原料粉末に適当な有機バインダ・有機溶剤・可塑剤・分散剤等を添加混合して泥漿状となすとともに、この泥漿物をドクターブレード法やカレンダーロール法等のシート成形法を採用してシート状となすことにより、1層または複数層の接続層用シートを得る。しかる後、これらの接続層用シートに、適宜、打ち抜き加工によって貫通孔を形成し、その貫通孔内にタングステン等の導体粉末を含有する導電性ペーストを充填するとともに、この接続層用シートの表面に、導電性ペーストをスクリーン印刷等によって内部の配線導体あるいは電極パッドや接続パッドのパターンに印刷形成する。
【0038】
その後、それら接続層用シートを積層して積層構造体を形成し、この積層構造体を緻密化可能な温度、具体的には1500〜1700℃で焼成することによって、配線基板5を作製することができる。
【0039】
また、配線基板5の表面に設けられた電極パッド2および接続パッド3の表面には、Ni・Au・Cu等のめっき層(図示せず)が施され、半田等の導電性接着剤を介して、電極パッド2に電子部品4を半田実装する。電子部品4の実装にあたっては、電子部品4を仮止めした後に、治具によって全ての電子部品4を固定した状態でリフロー炉に投入して加熱することによって、電極パッド2に電子部品4を一括に接合する。なお、モジュール部品の接続パッド3と配線基板5との接続に対しては、電子部品4を搭載実装した後に、電子部品4の実装用に用いた半田よりも溶融温度の高い半田を用いて接合することが望ましい。
【0040】
なお、本発明は以上の実施の形態の一例に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲であれば種々の変更は可能である。例えば、絶縁基体1は、完全な立方体状でなく、側面視で多少の台形状や高さ方向または幅方向等にやや長い形状等としてもよい。
【0041】
【発明の効果】
本発明の配線基板によれば、立方体状の絶縁基体の少なくとも2面以上の側面にそれぞれ電子部品の電極を接続するための電極パッドを設けたことから、配線基板の平面積を大きくすることなく、電子部品を接続する面積を大きくすることができ、半導体素子等の能動素子やチップコンデンサやチップ抵抗素子等のチップ状等の電子部品を小さな平面積に外部回路基板上への投影面積が小さい状態で高密度に実装することができる。
【0042】
また、電子部品が搭載される面以外の他の平面に、例えば、端子パッドを設けるとともに、この端子パッドに、多くの電子部品を1つの基板上に立体的に搭載したモジュール部品を接続することもできるので、配線基板における容積活用率を非常に高くして、このような配線基板を用いてなる電子回路の小型化・高密度化を極めて容易なものとすることができる。
【0043】
さらに、本発明の配線基板において、接続パッドを、絶縁基体の下面に多数が配列されたものとするとともに、そのうちの下面の角部に位置するものを、他の位置の接続パッドより大きなものとした場合には、この配線基板に搭載される多数の電子部品の電極を効率良く外部に導出して接続させることができるとともに、この接続パッドのうち角部に位置する接続パッドの大きさを大きくすることで、接続パッドを外部回路基板と接続するための半田等の端子の体積を大きくすることができ、この体積が大きな端子の相対的に小さな変形により熱応力等の応力を効果的に吸収できるため、立方体で体積が大きな絶縁基体と外部回路基板との間に発生する大きな熱応力等の応力を緩和することができ、絶縁基体の下面に形成した接続パッドを外部回路基板の端子パッドに対して長期にわたってより一層確実に電気的接続させることができるので、極めて高い電気的な接続信頼性を有する配線基板とすることができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wiring board that can be mounted on an external circuit board with a small projected area while mounting a large number of electronic components such as chip capacitors and chip resistance elements.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, electronic circuits formed by mounting electronic components such as semiconductor elements, capacitors, resistors, and the like on a wiring board and electrically connecting them have recently been reduced in size and density due to a large increase in the integration of semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) elements. However, individual circuit components such as a chip capacitor and a chip resistor are still often used for a high-precision resistor and a large-capacity capacitor.
[0003]
As described above, when an electronic circuit is formed using a chip capacitor, a chip resistor element, or the like, since the electronic circuit requires miniaturization and high density, the chip resistor element and the chip capacitor are required. In general, a chip mounting method for mounting such small individual circuit components together with active elements such as semiconductor integrated circuit elements on the surface of a flat wiring board at a high density so that the distance between adjacent circuit elements is as small as possible has been generalized.
[0004]
However, there is a limit to the miniaturization of electronic components such as these active elements, chip resistor elements, chip capacitors, etc., and when a large number of these electronic components are arranged on the surface of the wiring board, the area of the wiring board is reduced. It is necessary to increase the size according to the number of electronic components to be provided, and this is a problem that it is an obstacle to downsizing and increasing the density of electronic circuits.
[0005]
In order to solve such a problem, an attempt has been made to arrange electronic components three-dimensionally on the surface of the wiring board, thereby realizing an electronic circuit device such as a small control device as a small wiring board. ing.
[0006]
For example, JP-A-2-288201 proposes a method in which a space for mounting the other chip component is formed below one chip component, and the two chip components are stacked and mounted. I have.
[0007]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-2-288201
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, even if chip components are stacked and mounted, there is a limit in increasing the mounting height of one of the chip components, and at the same time, only two-stage stacking is possible, and the use of the volume of the wiring board is limited. There was a problem that the rate was very low.
[0009]
The area occupied by pads for mounting electronic components (connection terminals for connecting electrodes of electronic components) on the surface of the wiring board is larger than that of large electronic components even when the electronic components are downsized. At present, it is difficult to reduce the size of the wiring board with respect to small electronic components, particularly, to reduce the area when the wiring board is viewed in plan, that is, the projected area occupied when the wiring board is mounted on an external circuit board. Was.
[0010]
The present invention is capable of mounting high-density electronic components such as active elements such as semiconductor elements and chips such as chip capacitors and chip resistance elements in a small flat area, and has an area when viewed in plan, that is, an external circuit. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wiring board capable of forming an electronic circuit having a small projected area on a substrate.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The wiring board of the present invention is provided with electrode pads to which electrodes of electronic components are respectively connected on at least two or more side surfaces of a cubic insulating base having a large number of wiring conductors inside, and a lower surface of the insulating base. A connection pad electrically connected to the circuit conductor of the external circuit board, the connection pad being electrically connected to the electrode pad via the wiring conductor, is provided.
[0012]
Further, in the wiring board of the present invention, in the above configuration, a large number of the connection pads are arranged on the lower surface, and one of the connection pads located at a corner of the lower surface is larger than the connection pads at other positions. It is a feature.
[0013]
According to the wiring board of the present invention, since the electrode pads for connecting the electrodes of the electronic components are provided on at least two or more side faces of the cubic insulating base, the plane area of the wiring board is not increased. In addition, the area for connecting electronic components can be increased, and active components such as semiconductor devices and electronic components such as chips such as chip capacitors and chip resistors can be formed into a small flat area with a small projected area on an external circuit board. It can be mounted at high density in the state.
[0014]
Further, for example, a terminal pad is provided on a plane other than the surface on which the electronic components are mounted, and a module component in which many electronic components are mounted three-dimensionally on one board is connected to the terminal pad. Therefore, it is possible to make the volume utilization rate of the wiring board extremely high, and to make it easy to miniaturize and increase the density of an electronic circuit using such a wiring board.
[0015]
Further, in the wiring board of the present invention, a large number of connection pads are arranged on the lower surface of the insulating base, and those located at the corners of the lower surface are larger than the connection pads at other positions. In this case, the electrodes of a large number of electronic components mounted on the wiring board can be efficiently led out to the outside and connected, and the size of the connection pads located at the corners of the connection pads is increased. By doing so, it is possible to increase the volume of terminals such as solder for connecting the connection pads to the external circuit board, and to effectively absorb stresses such as thermal stress due to relatively small deformation of the terminals having large volumes. Therefore, it is possible to reduce stress such as a large thermal stress generated between the insulating substrate and the external circuit board which has a large volume and is cubic, and the connection pads formed on the lower surface of the insulating substrate can be externally mounted. Since with respect to the terminal pads of the road substrate can be further reliably electrically connected for a long time, it may be a wiring board having a very high electrical connection reliability.
[0016]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, the wiring board of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of an embodiment of a wiring board according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the insulating base as viewed from the lower surface side. In these figures, 1 is an insulating base, 2 is an electrode pad, and 3 is a connection pad. The wiring board 5 on which the electronic component 4 is mounted is constituted by the insulating base 1, the electrode pads 2, and the connection pads 3.
[0018]
The insulating base 1 is cubic and functions as a base for mounting the electronic component 4 on its surface, that is, on two or more side surfaces.
[0019]
Such an insulating substrate 1 is made of a glass ceramic sintered body, an aluminum oxide sintered body, a mullite sintered body, an aluminum nitride sintered body, or the like. For example, in the case of a glass ceramic sintered body, a plurality of green sheets obtained by forming a glass powder and a ceramic powder together with an organic solvent and a binder into a sheet shape are laminated in a cubic shape. It is formed by firing at 1000 ° C.
[0020]
The insulating base 1 has a number of wiring conductors (not shown) inside.
[0021]
On at least two or more side surfaces of the insulating base 1, electrode pads 2 for connecting electrodes of the electronic component 4 are formed.
[0022]
In addition, on the lower surface of the insulating base 1, a connection pad 3 that is electrically connected to a circuit conductor of an external circuit board is provided.
[0023]
The electrode pad 2 and the connection pad 3 are electrically connected via a wiring conductor.
[0024]
The electrodes of the electronic component 4 are connected to the electrode pads 2 via solder or the like, and the connection pads 3 are connected to the circuit conductors of the external circuit board via solder or the like, so that the electronic component mounted on the insulating base 1 is formed. 4 is electrically connected to the circuit conductor of the external circuit board via the electrode pad 2, the wiring conductor, and the connection pad 3.
[0025]
The wiring conductor / electrode pad 2 and the connection pad 3 are made of a metal material such as copper or silver. For example, in the case of copper, a metal paste obtained by kneading copper powder and an organic solvent is used as an insulating substrate. The green sheet 1 is formed by printing and applying the green sheet by a screen printing method or the like.
[0026]
As described above, the wiring board of the present invention is provided with the electrode pads 2 to which the electrodes of the electronic component 4 are connected on at least two or more side surfaces of the cubic insulating base 1 having a large number of wiring conductors therein, It is important to provide on the lower surface of the insulating base 1 a connection pad 3 electrically connected to the electrode pad 2 via a wiring conductor and electrically connected to a circuit conductor of an external circuit board.
[0027]
By forming the insulating base 1 in a cubic shape, an area for mounting a large number of electronic components can be secured on the side surface, and the flat area of the wiring board, that is, the projected area when mounted on an external circuit board, can be reduced. Electronic components can be mounted and mounted at a high density with a small size.
[0028]
Further, since a large number of wiring conductors are provided inside the cubic insulating base 1, the electrode pads 2 and the connection pads 3 formed on the surface of the insulating base 1 can be efficiently electrically connected to each other.
[0029]
Further, in the wiring board of the present invention, a large number of connection pads 3 are arranged on the lower surface of the insulating base 1, and those 3a located at the corners of the lower surface are larger than the connection pads 3b at other positions. It is preferable that
[0030]
By arranging a large number of connection pads 3 on the lower surface of the insulating base 1, the electrodes of a large number of electronic components 4 mounted on the insulating base 1 are efficiently led out to the outside, and are electrically connected to the circuit conductors of the external circuit board. Can be connected.
[0031]
Also, by setting the connection pads 3a located at the corners on the lower surface of the insulating base 1 out of the large number of connection pads 3 to be larger than the connection pads 3b at other positions, the insulating base 1 having a cubic shape and a large volume is formed. Even if a large thermal stress is generated between the external circuit board and the external circuit board, the thermal stress causes the connection pad 3a at the corner having a large connection area to connect the connection pad 3a at the corner to the external circuit board. Therefore, the volume of the terminal such as solder can be increased, and this volume can be effectively reduced by the relatively small deformation of the large terminal, and the connection pad 3 ( 3a and 3b) can be more reliably and electrically connected to the terminal pads of the external circuit board for a long period of time, so that the wiring board 5 having extremely high electrical connection reliability It can be.

【The invention's effect】
According to the wiring board of the present invention, since the electrode pads for connecting the electrodes of the electronic components are provided on at least two or more side faces of the cubic insulating base, the plane area of the wiring board is not increased. In addition, the area for connecting electronic components can be increased, and active components such as semiconductor devices and electronic components such as chips such as chip capacitors and chip resistors can be formed into a small flat area with a small projected area on an external circuit board. It can be mounted at high density in the state.

Further, for example, a terminal pad is provided on a plane other than the surface on which the electronic components are mounted, and a module component in which many electronic components are mounted three-dimensionally on one board is connected to the terminal pad. Therefore, it is possible to make the volume utilization rate of the wiring board extremely high, and to make it easy to miniaturize and increase the density of an electronic circuit using such a wiring board.
[0043]
Further, in the wiring board of the present invention, a large number of connection pads are arranged on the lower surface of the insulating base, and those located at the corners of the lower surface are larger than the connection pads at other positions. In this case, the electrodes of a large number of electronic components mounted on the wiring board can be efficiently led out to the outside and connected, and the size of the connection pads located at the corners of the connection pads is increased. By doing so, it is possible to increase the volume of terminals such as solder for connecting the connection pads to the external circuit board, and to effectively absorb stresses such as thermal stress due to relatively small deformation of the terminals having large volumes. Therefore, it is possible to reduce stress such as a large thermal stress generated between the insulating substrate and the external circuit board having a large volume of a cube, and to remove the connection pads formed on the lower surface of the insulating substrate. Since it is possible to further reliably electrically connected for a long period to the terminal pads of the circuit board may be a wiring board having a very high electrical connection reliability.
