The inner pattern has a pattern extension part in addition to the pattern body part, and the heat dissipation area is enlarged. The heat of the pattern extension can be dissipated from the second portion outside the formation area of the front-side pattern. As described above, the heat dissipation performance is improved.
 (2)前記(1)の回路構成体において、好ましくは、前記第一表層は、前記第二部に、前記電子部品が載せられず前記表側パターンと非接続であるサブパターンを有し、前記パターン延長部は、前記サブパターンの積層方向についての内側に設けられている。この場合、パターン延長部の熱が、第一表層のサブパターンに伝達され、放熱される。 (2) In the circuit construction body of (1) above, preferably, the first surface layer has a sub-pattern on the second part on which the electronic component is not placed and is not connected to the front pattern, and The pattern extension portion is provided inside the sub-pattern in the stacking direction. In this case, the heat of the pattern extension is transmitted to the sub-pattern of the first surface layer and radiated.
 (3)前記(2)の回路構成体において、好ましくは、前記多層基板は、前記サブパターンと接続されているサブビアを有し、前記内層は、前記サブビアと接続されているサブ内側パターンを有し、前記パターン延長部は、前記サブパターンと前記サブ内側パターンとの間に設けられている。この場合、パターン延長部の熱が、サブパターンおよびサブ内側パターンに伝達される。サブ内側パターンの熱はサブビアを通じてサブパターンから放熱される。 (3) In the circuit structure of (2) above, preferably, the multilayer substrate has sub-vias connected to the sub-patterns, and the inner layer has sub-inner patterns connected to the sub-vias. and the pattern extension is provided between the sub-pattern and the sub-inner pattern.

In this case, the heat of the pattern extension is dissipated from the forbidden surface.
 (5)前記(1)から(4)の回路構成体において、前記電子部品の発熱が比較的大きい場合、そのような電子部品のために、幅広の配線パターンが多層基板に形成されるのが好ましい。そこで、前記回路構成体は、さらに、相手コネクタが接続される複数のコネクタ接続部を前記多層基板に備え、前記多層基板は、前記電子部品が実装される第一実装エリアと、前記電子部品よりも発熱の小さい部品が実装される第二実装エリアと、を有し、前記複数のコネクタ接続部の間に前記第一実装エリアが設けられ、前記複数のコネクタ接続部および前記第一実装エリアが並ぶ範囲の隣に、前記第二実装エリアが設けられている。 (5) In the circuit structures of (1) to (4) above, when the heat generation of the electronic parts is relatively large, a wide wiring pattern is formed on the multilayer board for such electronic parts. preferable. Therefore, the circuit structure further includes a plurality of connector connection portions to which mating connectors are connected in the multilayer board, and the multilayer board includes a first mounting area in which the electronic components are mounted and a mounting area from the electronic components. a second mounting area on which components that generate less heat are mounted, wherein the first mounting area is provided between the plurality of connector connection portions, and the plurality of connector connection portions and the first mounting area are The second mounting area is provided next to the lined range.
 この場合、発熱の比較的大きい電子部品が実装される第一実装エリアと、コネクタ接続部とが隣接する。前記電子部品と前記コネクタ接続部とを電気的に接続するために、前記電子部品用として多層基板に幅広となって形成される配線パターンをできるだけ短くすることが可能となる。その結果、多層基板のスペースを有効利用できる。これに対して、発熱の小さい部品のためには、配線パターンは幅狭であってもよく、そのような配線パターンは、前記コネクタ接続部と電気的に接続するために、多少長くなってもスペースを無駄に占有しないで済む。 In this case, the first mounting area where electronic components that generate relatively large heat are mounted is adjacent to the connector connecting portion. In order to electrically connect the electronic component and the connector connecting portion, it is possible to shorten the wide wiring pattern formed on the multilayer substrate for the electronic component as much as possible. As a result, the space of the multilayer substrate can be effectively used. On the other hand, for components that generate less heat, the wiring pattern may be narrower, and such a wiring pattern may be slightly longer in order to be electrically connected to the connector connecting portion.

 さらに、図3に示す形態では、多層基板11は、第一サブパターン24と接続されているサブビア20を有する。内層18は、サブビア20と接続されているサブ内側パターン26を有する。パターン延長部28は、第一サブパターン24とサブ内側パターン26(26c)との間に設けられている。このため、パターン延長部28の熱が、樹脂部を介して、第一サブパターン24およびサブ内側パターン26(26c)に伝達される。サブ内側パターン26(26c)の熱はサブビア20を通じて第一サブパターン24から放熱される。 Furthermore, in the form shown in FIG. 3 , the multilayer substrate 11 has sub-vias 20 connected to the first sub-patterns 24 . The inner layer 18 has sub-inner patterns 26 connected with the sub-vias 20 . The pattern extension 28 is provided between the first sub-pattern 24 and the sub-inner pattern 26 (26c). Therefore, the heat of the pattern extension portion 28 is transmitted to the first sub-pattern 24 and the sub-inner pattern 26 (26c) through the resin portion. The heat of the inner sub-pattern 26 (26c) is radiated from the first sub-pattern 24 through the sub-via 20 .
 さらに、第二表層17側に、第二サブパターン25が設けられている。第二サブパターン25の積層方向についての内側に、別のパターン延長部28が設けられている。このため、そのパターン延長部28の熱が、樹脂部を介して、第二表層17の第二サブパターン25に伝達され、放熱される。 Furthermore, a second sub-pattern 25 is provided on the second surface layer 17 side. Another pattern extension 28 is provided inside the second sub-pattern 25 in the stacking direction. Therefore, the heat of the pattern extension portion 28 is transferred to the second sub-pattern 25 of the second surface layer 17 via the resin portion and radiated.
 第二表層17側の内層18は、サブビア20と接続されているサブ内側パターン26を有する。そのサブ内側パターン26と第二サブパターン25とはサブビア20を通じて繋がっている。第二表層17側の内層18が有するパターン延長部28は、第二サブパターン25とサブ内側パターン26(26c)との間に設けられている。このため、パターン延長部28の熱が、樹脂部を介して、第二サブパターン25およびサブ内側パターン26(26c)に伝達される。サブ内側パターン26(26c)の熱はサブビア20を通じて第二サブパターン25から放熱される。 The inner layer 18 on the second surface layer 17 side has sub-inner patterns 26 connected to the sub-vias 20 . The sub inner pattern 26 and the second sub pattern 25 are connected through the sub via 20 . The pattern extension 28 of the inner layer 18 on the second surface layer 17 side is provided between the second sub-pattern 25 and the sub-inner pattern 26 (26c). Therefore, the heat of the pattern extension portion 28 is transmitted to the second sub-pattern 25 and the sub-inner pattern 26 (26c) through the resin portion. The heat of the inner sub-pattern 26 (26c) is radiated from the second sub-pattern 25 through the sub-via 20 .

FIG.
 変形例では、第一の形態と比較して、サブパターン24,25、サブ内側パターン26、およびサブビア20が省略されている。その他の構成は、同じである。変形例を示す各図において、第一の形態と同じ構成については、同じ符号を付しており、同じ構成についての説明を省略する。 In the modified example, sub-patterns 24 and 25, sub-inner pattern 26, and sub-via 20 are omitted compared to the first embodiment. Other configurations are the same. In each figure showing a modification, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as in the first embodiment, and the description of the same configurations will be omitted.
 変形例の回路構成体10は、多層基板11と、多層基板11に実装されている電子部品12とを備える。多層基板11は、電子部品12が載せられている表側パターン21を有する第一表層16と、第一表層16と積層方向について反対側に設けられている第二表層17と、第一表層16と第二表層17との間に設けられ、内側パターン23を有する1層または複数層の内層18と、表側パターン21と内側パターン23とを接続するビア19とを有する。第一表層16は、その表面16aに、表側パターン21が形成されている領域である第一部41と、表側パターン21の形成領域外である第二部42とを有する。内側パターン23は、表側パターン21とビア19を通じて繋がるパターン本体部27と、第二部42の積層方向についての内側に設けられパターン本体部27から延長されているパターン延長部28とを有する。以上の点は、第一の形態と同じである。 A modified circuit structure 10 includes a multilayer substrate 11 and electronic components 12 mounted on the multilayer substrate 11 . The multilayer substrate 11 includes a first surface layer 16 having a front pattern 21 on which the electronic component 12 is placed, a second surface layer 17 provided on the opposite side of the first surface layer 16 in the stacking direction, and the first surface layer 16. It has one or a plurality of inner layers 18 provided between the second surface layer 17 and having an inner pattern 23 , and vias 19 connecting the front pattern 21 and the inner pattern 23 . The first surface layer 16 has, on its surface 16a, a first portion 41, which is an area where the front-side pattern 21 is formed, and a second portion 42, which is outside the area where the front-side pattern 21 is formed. The inner pattern 23 has a pattern body portion 27 connected to the front pattern 21 through the vias 19 and a pattern extension portion 28 provided inside the second portion 42 in the lamination direction and extending from the pattern body portion 27 . The above points are the same as those of the first embodiment.
 変形例では、第二部42に、パターン形成が禁止されている禁止面45が設けられている。パターン延長部28は、禁止面45の積層方向についての内側に設けられている。この場合、パターン延長部28の熱が、樹脂部を介して、禁止面45から放熱される。 In the modified example, the second portion 42 is provided with a prohibited surface 45 on which pattern formation is prohibited. The pattern extension 28 is provided inside the prohibition surface 45 in the stacking direction. In this case, the heat of the pattern extension portion 28 is radiated from the prohibition surface 45 via the resin portion.
 以上より、第一の形態および変形例を含む第一実施形態に係る放熱構造を備える回路構成体10によれば、その放熱性能が向上する。多層基板11のうち、サブパターン24(図3)のようなグランドパターンのスペース、または、禁止面45(図6参照)のようなデッドスペースを、放熱のために有効活用することが可能となる。 As described above, according to the circuit structure 10 having the heat dissipation structure according to the first embodiment including the first form and the modification, the heat dissipation performance is improved. In the multilayer substrate 11, it becomes possible to effectively utilize the ground pattern space such as the sub-pattern 24 (FIG. 3) or the dead space such as the prohibition surface 45 (see FIG. 6) for heat dissipation. .
〔回路構成体10について〕
 前記のとおり(図2参照)、多層基板11は、比較的発熱の大きい電子部品12が実装される第一実装エリアK1と、その電子部品12よりも発熱の小さい部品80が実装される第二実装エリアK2とをする。そして、回路構成体10は、コネクタ接続部13を2つ(複数)備える。
[Regarding the circuit structure 10]
As described above (see FIG. 2), the multilayer substrate 11 has a first mounting area K1 in which the electronic components 12 that generate relatively large heat are mounted, and a second mounting area K1 in which the components 80 that generate less heat than the electronic components 12 are mounted. and the mounting area K2. The circuit structure 10 includes two (plural) connector connecting portions 13 .
 ここで、回路構成体10において、電子部品12の発熱が比較的大きい場合、そのような電子部品12のために、幅広の配線パターンが多層基板11に形成されるのが好ましい。そこで、図2に示すように、回路構成体10は、2つのコネクタ接続部13,13の間に第一実装エリアK1が設けられる。そして、2つのコネクタ接続部13,13および第一実装エリアK1が並ぶ範囲K0の隣に、第二実装エリアK2が設けられている。 Here, in the circuit structure 10 , if the electronic components 12 generate relatively large heat, it is preferable to form a wide wiring pattern on the multilayer substrate 11 for such electronic components 12 . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the circuit structure 10 is provided with a first mounting area K1 between the two connector connection portions 13,13. A second mounting area K2 is provided next to the range K0 in which the two connector connection portions 13, 13 and the first mounting area K1 are arranged.
 この場合、発熱の比較的大きい電子部品12が実装される第一実装エリアK1と、コネクタ接続部13とが隣接する。電子部品12とコネクタ接続部13とを電気的に接続するために、その電子部品12用として、多層基板11に幅広となって形成される配線パターン(例えば、裏側パターン22)をできるだけ短くすることが可能となる。その結果、多層基板11のスペースを有効利用できる。これに対して、発熱の小さい部品80のためには、配線パターンは幅狭であってもよく、そのような配線パターンは、コネクタ接続部13と電気的に接続するために、多少長くなってもスペースを無駄に占有しないで済む。 In this case, the first mounting area K1 where the electronic component 12 that generates relatively large heat is mounted and the connector connecting portion 13 are adjacent to each other. In order to electrically connect the electronic component 12 and the connector connection part 13, a wide wiring pattern (for example, a back side pattern 22) formed on the multilayer substrate 11 for the electronic component 12 is made as short as possible. becomes possible. As a result, the space of the multilayer substrate 11 can be effectively used. On the other hand, the width of the wiring pattern may be narrow for the component 80 that generates less heat, and such a wiring pattern may be slightly longer in order to be electrically connected to the connector connection portion 13 . does not occupy space unnecessarily.
 なお、コネクタ接続部13の数は、変更可能であり、3つ以上であってもよい。この場合においても、隣り合うコネクタ接続部13,13の間に第一実装エリアK1が設けられ、これらコネクタ接続部13および第一実装エリアK1が並ぶ範囲の隣に、第二実装エリアK2が設けられていればよい。 Note that the number of connector connection portions 13 can be changed, and may be three or more. In this case also, the first mounting area K1 is provided between the adjacent connector connecting portions 13, 13, and the second mounting area K2 is provided next to the range in which the connector connecting portions 13 and the first mounting area K1 are arranged. It is good if it is
