[0006] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out a wiring board and a semiconductor device according to the present disclosure (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments") will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, the embodiments can be appropriately combined as long as the processing content is not contradictory. Furthermore, the same components in the following embodiments will be assigned the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0007] In addition, in the following embodiments, expressions such as "orthogonal" or "vertical" may be used, but these expressions do not necessarily mean "orthogonal" or "vertical" in the strict sense. In other words, the above expressions allow for deviations due to, for example, manufacturing precision, installation precision, etc.

[0008] In addition, in the drawings referred to below, to make the explanation easier to understand, an orthogonal coordinate system may be shown in which the X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction, which are perpendicular to each other, are defined, and the Z-axis direction is the thickness direction of the wiring board.

[0009] 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a wiring board according to a first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, a wiring board 100 according to the first embodiment includes a first substrate 10, a second substrate 20, and a third substrate 30. The wiring board 100 is a laminate of the first substrate 10, the second substrate 20, and the third substrate 30. The wiring board 100 also includes a first wiring 40, a second wiring 50, and a third wiring 60.

[0010] <First Substrate> The first substrate 10 is formed using a ceramic composite material containing a silica component such as glass, that is, so-called glass ceramic. The glass ceramic may be any of a composite of a glass phase and ceramic particles, a composite of a glass phase and a crystalline phase formed by the crystallization of a portion of the glass phase, a form in which ceramic particles exist in a glass phase, and a form in which a glass phase exists at the grain boundaries between ceramic particles.

[0011] For example, the first substrate 10 may be made of low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC). When LTCC is used as the first substrate 10, a low-melting-point metal such as copper or silver, which has a relatively low electrical resistance, can be used as wiring.

[0012] The first substrate 10 may contain a ceramic filler as ceramic particles. Examples of the ceramic filler that can be used include alumina (aluminum oxide), calcium titanate, and magnesium titanate. The first substrate 10 containing alumina has high rigidity.

[0013] The first substrate 10 has a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 located on the opposite side of the first surface 101. The first substrate 10 may be a plate-like body having the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 as main surfaces.

[0014] In the first embodiment, the first substrate 10 has a ceramic layer 11. In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the first substrate 10 has a single-layer structure composed of one ceramic layer 11, but the first substrate 10 may have a multi-layer structure composed of multiple ceramic layers 11. The multiple ceramic layers 11 are stacked along the Z-axis direction shown in FIG. 1 , which is the thickness direction of the first substrate 10. By constructing the first substrate 10 using multiple ceramic layers 11 in this way, it is possible to obtain a first substrate 10 having a first wiring layer therein, which will be described later.

[0015] There is a high degree of freedom in designing the wiring board 100 having such a first base material 10. Furthermore, by configuring the first base material 10 using a plurality of ceramic layers 11, it is possible to manufacture the first base material 10 while checking for each layer whether the first wiring 40 described below is properly formed, thereby improving the yield of the first base material 10.

[0016] <Second Base Material> The second base material 20 is a base material whose main component is an organic material. The organic material may be an organic resin. The organic resin may be, for example, an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polyimide resin, an olefin resin, or a polyphenylene resin.

[0017] The organic resin may be, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), other fluororesins, or polyphenylene ether resin. The second base material 20 may contain components other than the organic resin. In this disclosure, a "major component" refers to a material that accounts for, for example, 50% by mass or more of the material.

[0018] The second substrate 20 has a third surface 103 and a fourth surface 104 located on the opposite side of the third surface 103. The second substrate 20 may be a plate-like body having the third surface 103 and the fourth surface 104 as main surfaces.

[0019] In the first embodiment, the second substrate 20 has an organic resin layer 21. In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the second substrate 20 has a single-layer structure composed of one organic resin layer 21, but the second substrate 20 may have a multi-layer structure composed of a plurality of organic resin layers 21. The plurality of organic resin layers 21 are stacked along the Z-axis direction shown in FIG. 1 , which is the thickness direction of the second substrate 20. By configuring the second substrate 20 using a plurality of organic resin layers 21 in this way, it is possible to obtain a second substrate 20 having a second wiring layer therein, which will be described later.

[0020] The wiring board 100 having such a second base material 20 has a high degree of freedom in design. Furthermore, by configuring the second base material 20 using a plurality of organic resin layers 21, the second base material 20 can be manufactured while checking for each layer whether the second wiring 50 described below is properly formed, and therefore the yield of the second base material 20 can be improved.

[0021] <Third Base Material> The third base material 30 is a base material whose main component is an organic material. The organic material may be an organic resin. The organic resin may be, for example, an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polyimide resin, an olefin resin, or a polyphenylene resin.

[0022] The organic resin may be, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), other fluororesins, or polyphenylene ether resins. The third base material 30 may contain components other than organic resins.

[0023] The third substrate 30 has a fifth surface 105 and a sixth surface 106 located on the opposite side of the fifth surface 105. The fifth surface 105 is bonded to the first surface 101 of the first substrate 10. The sixth surface 106 is bonded to the third surface 103 of the second substrate 20. In this way, the third substrate 30 is located between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, and serves as a bonding layer that bonds the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 together.

[0024] In the first embodiment, the third base material 30 has an organic resin layer 31. In the example shown in Fig. 1 , the third base material 30 has a single-layer structure constituted by one organic resin layer 31, but the third base material 30 may have a multi-layer structure constituted by a plurality of organic resin layers 31. The plurality of organic resin layers 31 are stacked along the Z-axis direction shown in Fig. 1 , which is the thickness direction of the third base material 30.

[0025] The second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30, which are primarily composed of organic components, are easier to form fine wiring patterns on than inorganic substrates. On the other hand, the first substrate 10, which is made of ceramic, has higher rigidity than the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30. Furthermore, the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30, which are primarily composed of organic materials, have lower density than the first substrate 10.

[0026] The wiring board 100 according to the first embodiment can increase rigidity while achieving finer wiring and narrower pitches by combining the first substrate 10, the second substrate 20, and the third substrate 30. Since warping of the board becomes more pronounced as the board becomes larger, the configuration of the wiring board 100 in which the first substrate 10 compensates for the low rigidity of the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30 is useful for increasing the size of the board.

[0027] Furthermore, compared to a wiring board made up of only an inorganic substrate, the wiring board 100 according to the first embodiment includes the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30, which have a lower density than the inorganic substrate, and therefore can be made lighter.

[0028] <First Wiring and Second Wiring> The first wiring 40 is located on the first substrate 10 and extends from one of the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 to the other. Note that "extending" here does not necessarily mean extending the shortest distance. The first wiring 40 is electrically connected to the third wiring 60, which will be described later, at the bonding surface with the third substrate 30. The first wiring 40 may have a first wiring layer in the middle, which is the portion that extends along the first surface 101 or the second surface 102.

[0029] The first wiring 40 has a plurality of first via conductors 41 and one or more first wiring layers (not shown). The first via conductors 41 and the first wiring layer are located inside the first substrate 10. The first via conductors 41 penetrate one or more ceramic layers 11. When there are multiple ceramic layers 11, the first wiring layer is located, for example, between adjacent ceramic layers 11 and electrically connects the multiple first via conductors 41 together.

[0030] In this way, since the wiring board 100 has the first wiring 40 on the first base material 10, the degree of freedom in wiring design is higher compared to a wiring board having wiring only on a substrate made of organic resin. On the other hand, when the first base material 10, the second base material 20, and the third base material 30 have wiring, it is desirable to bond the first base material 10, the second base material 20, and the third wiring 60 more firmly so that misalignment does not occur between the first wiring 40, the second wiring 50, and the third wiring 60.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, the first wiring 40 does not necessarily have to have a first wiring layer.

[0032] The first wiring 40 also has a first land 42, which is a bonding conductor, located on the first surface 101 or the second surface 102, which is the surface of the first substrate 10. The first land 42 may be a conductor containing a silica component. The first land 42 is located between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30, and electrically connects the first wiring 40 and the third wiring 60. A wiring board 100 having such a first land 42 has a high degree of freedom in design.

[0033] The first land 42 may contain hydroxyl groups on the surface. The first land 42 may be chemically bonded to the first base material 10 via the hydroxyl groups, and the hydroxyl groups are hydrogen-bonded to the first base material 10. This allows the first land 42 to be firmly bonded to the first base material 10. The first land 42 may also be chemically bonded to the third base material 30 via the hydroxyl groups, and the hydroxyl groups are hydrogen-bonded to the third base material 30. This allows the first land 42 to be firmly bonded to the third base material 30.

[0034] The second wiring 50 is located on the second substrate 20 and extends from one of the third surface 103 and the fourth surface 104 to the other. Note that "extending" here does not necessarily mean extending the shortest distance. The second wiring 50 is electrically connected to the third wiring 60 (described later) at the bonding surface with the third substrate 30. The second wiring 50 may have a second wiring layer in the middle, which is the portion that extends along the third surface 103 or the fourth surface 104.

[0035] The second wiring 50 has a plurality of second via conductors 51 and one or more second wiring layers (not shown). The second via conductors 51 and the second wiring layer are located inside the second base material 20. The second via conductors 51 penetrate one or more organic resin layers 21. When there are multiple organic resin layers 21, the second wiring layer is located, for example, between adjacent organic resin layers 21 and electrically connects the multiple second via conductors 51 together.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, the second wiring 50 does not necessarily have to have a second wiring layer.

[0037] The second wiring 50 also has a second land 52, which is a bonding conductor, located on the third surface 103 or the fourth surface 104, which is the surface of the second base material 20. The second land 52 may be a conductor containing a silica component. The second land 52 is located between the second base material 20 and the third base material 30, and electrically connects the second wiring 50 and the third wiring 60. The wiring board 100 having such a second land 52 has a high degree of freedom in design.

[0038] The first wiring 40 and the second wiring 50 may be, for example, a metal conductor whose main component is copper or silver. For example, both the first wiring 40 and the second wiring 50 may be a metal conductor whose main component is copper. Alternatively, both the first wiring 40 and the second wiring 50 may be a metal conductor whose main component is silver. Alternatively, one of the first wiring 40 and the second wiring 50 may be a metal conductor whose main component is copper, and the other may be a metal conductor whose main component is silver.

[0039] By making all of the first wiring 40 and the second wiring 50 metal conductors whose main component is copper or silver, it is possible to obtain higher electrical characteristics than, for example, when one of the first wiring 40 and the second wiring 50 is made of a metal conductor other than copper or silver.

[0040] Of the first wiring 40 and the second wiring 50, only the first wiring 40 may contain a silica component. In this case, the first wiring 40 is firmly bonded to the first base material 10, which also contains a silica component, via the silica component. This allows the rigidity of the first base material 10 to be increased.

[0041] Furthermore, in the firing step when manufacturing the wiring substrate 100, the shrinkage rates of the first base material 10 and the first wiring 40 can be made to be the same to some extent, so that the first wiring 40 is less likely to be misaligned.

[0042] The first wiring 40 may be formed, for example, by printing a conductive paste containing copper and silica components on a green sheet that is the raw material of the ceramic layer 11, and firing the green sheet simultaneously with the green sheet. Specifically, the conductive paste may contain, for example, copper powder, borosilicate glass powder, and silica particles.

[0043] On the other hand, the second wiring 50 may be formed by copper plating, whereby, of the first wiring 40 and the second wiring 50, only the first wiring 40 can be configured to contain a silica component.

[0044] The second wiring 50 may be electrically and thermally connected to, for example, the semiconductor element 200 (see FIG. 7 ) placed on the third surface 103 of the second base material 20. By thermally connecting the second wiring 50, which is mainly composed of copper or silver, which has a relatively high thermal conductivity, to the semiconductor element 200, which serves as a heat source, the heat from the semiconductor element 200 can be efficiently released via the second wiring 50 and the first wiring 40.

[0045] <Third Wiring> The third wiring 60 is located on the third base material 30, and extends from one of the fifth surface 105 and the sixth surface 106 to the other. Note that "extending" here does not necessarily mean extending the shortest distance. The third wiring 60 is electrically joined to the first wiring 40 at the bonding surface with the first base material 10. The third wiring 60 is electrically joined to the second wiring 50 at the bonding surface with the second base material 20. The third wiring 60 may have a wiring layer in the middle that forms the portion extending along the fifth surface 105 or the sixth surface 106.

[0046] The third wiring 60 has a third via conductor 61. The third via conductor 61 penetrates one or more organic resin layers 31. The third via conductor 61 connects between the first land 42 and the second land 52. In this manner, the third via conductor 61 electrically connects the first wiring 40 and the second wiring 50. The third via conductor 61 may be a conductor whose main component is copper or a metal other than copper, such as silver.

[0047] The third via conductor 61 may have an alloy layer (not shown) at the interface with the first land 42. When the third via conductor 61 has an alloy layer at the interface with the first land 42, the alloy layer can increase the bonding strength between the first land 42 and the third via conductor 61. This can increase the connection reliability between the first wiring 40 and the third wiring 60.

[0048] <First Substrate, Second Substrate, and Third Substrate> The first substrate 10, which uses a ceramic composite material, has a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than the second substrate 20, which is primarily composed of an organic material. When the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 are directly bonded together, a large load is applied to the interface between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the two substrates caused by the heat of the semiconductor element 200 mounted on the wiring substrate 100, etc. This may reduce the reliability of the bonding between the substrates. Furthermore, when a third substrate 30, which serves as a bonding layer bonding the two substrates, is present between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, a large load is applied to the respective interfaces due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30 and between the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30. This may reduce the reliability of the bonding between the substrates. Note that the thermal expansion coefficient here refers to the thermal expansion coefficient in the X-axis direction shown in FIG. 1 .

[0049] 1 , in the wiring board 100, at least a portion of the first land 42 extends into the third base material 30. At least a portion of the first land 42 in the thickness direction extends into the third base material 30. The entire first land 42 in the thickness direction may extend into the third base material 30.

[0050] By having at least a portion of the first land 42 located on the first surface 101 of the first substrate 10 extend into the third substrate 30, expansion or contraction in the X-axis direction shown in FIG. 1 , which is the direction along the fifth surface 105 or the sixth surface 106 of the third substrate 30, is suppressed. This reduces the load on the interface between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30, thereby improving the bonding reliability of the substrates. Furthermore, by having at least a portion of the first land 42 extend into the third substrate 30, the thickness of the wiring substrate 100 can be reduced. This allows the wiring substrate 100 to be made smaller.

[0051] 1 , in the wiring board 100, at least a portion of the second land 52 may extend into the third base material 30. At least a portion of the second land 52 in the thickness direction may extend into the third base material 30. The entire second land 52 in the thickness direction may extend into the third base material 30.

[0052] At least a portion of the second lands 52 located on the third surface 103 of the second substrate 20 extends into the third substrate 30, thereby suppressing expansion or contraction of the third substrate 30 in the X-axis direction. This reduces the load on the interface between the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30, thereby improving the bonding reliability of the substrates. Furthermore, at least a portion of the second lands 52 extends into the third substrate 30, thereby reducing the thickness of the wiring substrate 100. This allows the wiring substrate 100 to be miniaturized.

[0053] 1 , in the wiring substrate 100, the thickness of the first lands 42 may be greater than the thickness of the second lands 52. This allows the first lands 42 to penetrate deeper into the third base material 30, making the bond between the first base material 10 and the third base material 30 stronger and further increasing the ability to suppress expansion or contraction of the third base material 30 in the X-axis direction.

[0054] Furthermore, when the first land 42 extends into the third base material 30, for example, if the outer periphery of the first land 42 is perpendicular to the first surface 101, a gap may be generated around the outer periphery. If such a gap is generated, the bonding strength between the first base material 10 and the third base material 30 may be reduced.

[0055] 1 , in the wiring substrate 100, the outer periphery of the first land 42 may have a first inclined surface 421 that is an inclined surface that approaches the first surface 101 of the first base material 10 the further outward. By having such a first inclined surface 421, the first land 42 and the third base material 30 can be closely attached to each other. This makes it possible to prevent voids from being generated around the outer periphery of the first land 42 and to increase the bonding area between the first land 42 and the third base material 30, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the first base material 10 and the third base material 30.

[0056] Furthermore, the thermal expansion coefficient of the third base material 30 may be greater than the thermal expansion coefficient of the first base material 10 and less than the thermal expansion coefficient of the second base material 20 .

[0057] In this way, the first substrate 10, the second substrate 20, and the third substrate 30 have a thermal expansion coefficient magnitude relationship of "first substrate < third substrate < second substrate," so the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30 and between the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30 is small. This makes it possible to reduce the load on the interface between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30 and the interface between the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30, and to improve the bonding reliability of the substrates.

[0058] 1 , the wiring substrate 100 has a plurality of convex bodies 70. The plurality of convex bodies 70 protrude from the first surface 101 of the first substrate 10 toward the third substrate 30 and extend into the interior of the third substrate 30.

[0059] Thus, with the wiring substrate 100, the bonding strength between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30 can be increased by an anchor effect that occurs when the multiple convex bodies 70 penetrate into the third substrate 30. By firmly bonding the third substrate 30 to the first substrate 10, it is possible to suppress expansion or contraction of the third substrate 30 in the X-axis direction, and it is possible to alleviate the load on the interface between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30.

[0060] By firmly bonding the third substrate 30 to the first substrate 10, the third substrate 30 is constrained by the first substrate 10, and deformation due to thermal expansion of the third substrate 30 is reduced. As a result, deformation due to thermal expansion of the third substrate 30 is reduced even at positions other than the positions where the first lands 42 extend into the third substrate 30.

[0061] The convex bodies 70 contain a silica component and are bonded to the first substrate 10 by the silica component.

[0062] In this way, the plurality of convex bodies 70 are firmly bonded to the first substrate 10 containing a silica component. This makes the bond between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30 stronger, making it even less likely that the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30 will become misaligned. This stabilizes the physical connection between the first wiring 40 and the third wiring 60.

[0063] Furthermore, the convex body 70 firmly bonded to the first substrate 10 is unlikely to come off the first substrate 10 even when repeatedly subjected to loads caused by thermal expansion of the third substrate 30. Therefore, according to the wiring substrate 100, the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30 can be maintained in a firmly bonded state for a long period of time.

[0064] <Method for Manufacturing Wiring Board> Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a method for manufacturing a wiring board according to the first embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, in the method for manufacturing the wiring board 100, the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 are separately manufactured. For example, if the first substrate 10 has a multilayer structure, a plurality of ceramic layers 11 are sequentially laminated. Also, for example, if the second substrate 20 has a multilayer structure, a plurality of organic resin layers 21 are sequentially laminated.

[0065] A third substrate 30 is laminated on the first substrate 10. When the third substrate 30 has a multi-layer structure, a plurality of organic resin layers 31 constituting the third substrate 30 are laminated in order on the first substrate 10. Then, the first substrate 10 on which the third substrate 30 is laminated and the second substrate 20 are bonded via the third substrate 30, which serves as a bonding layer. This makes it possible to manufacture a wiring substrate 100 in which at least a portion of the first land 42 is embedded inside the third substrate 30.

[0066] 3 to 5 are explanatory diagrams of an example of a method for manufacturing a wiring board according to the first embodiment. The example shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 is a specific example of a method for manufacturing a wiring board 100. FIG. 3 shows the steps for manufacturing a first substrate 10. FIG. 4 shows the steps for manufacturing a second substrate 20. FIG. 5 shows the step of bonding the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 together.

[0067] As shown in Fig. 3 , in the method for manufacturing the first substrate 10, first, for example, holes are formed in the organic resin layer 31 of the third substrate 30 by irradiating the organic resin layer 31 with a laser. Next, via ink 32 is embedded in the holes in the organic resin layer 31. Next, the organic resin layer 31 with the embedded via ink 32 is pressure-bonded to the first substrate 10. Next, a PET peeling process is performed. In the example shown in Fig. 3 , the first substrate 10 is manufactured through these steps.

[0068] As shown in Fig. 4, in the method for manufacturing the second base material 20, first, a UV adhesive layer 23, a copper foil 24, and a DFR 25 are pressure-bonded to a glass plate 22. Next, an exposure process is performed. Next, an edging process is performed to peel off the DFR 25. Next, the organic resin layer 21 of the second base material 20 is pressure-bonded. Next, holes are formed in the organic resin layer 21 by, for example, irradiating the organic resin layer 21 with a laser.

[0069] Next, a desmearing process is performed to remove impurities adhering to the holes in the organic resin layer 21. Next, a seed layer (not shown) is formed. Next, the DFR 25 is pressure-bonded. Next, an exposure process is performed. Next, a copper plating process is performed to form the second via conductors 51. Next, an etching process is performed, the DFR 25 is peeled off, and then a copper etching process is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 4 , the second substrate 20 is manufactured by repeating the steps from pressure-bonding the organic resin layer 21 to performing the copper etching process.

[0070] As shown in Figure 5, when joining the first substrate 10 and the second substrate, first, the first substrate 10 is pressure-bonded to the second substrate 20. In this case, the first substrate 10 is inverted in the thickness direction so that the third substrate 30 faces the second substrate 20, and the first substrate 10 is heat-pressurized and bonded to the second substrate 20. Next, the glass plate 22 of the second substrate 20 is peeled off. Next, a thermal curing process is performed with the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 pressure-bonded together. Next, a singulation process is performed. In the example shown in Figure 5, the wiring substrate 100 is manufactured through these steps.

[0071] <Semiconductor Device> Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a semiconductor device according to the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 6, a semiconductor device 300 includes a wiring substrate 100 and a semiconductor element 200. The semiconductor element 200 is mounted on the fourth surface 104 of the second base material 20 of the wiring substrate 100. In this mounting, a silicon interposer or the like is provided between the semiconductor element 200 and the wiring substrate 100.

[0072] In semiconductor devices, the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the first and third substrates and between the second and third substrates due to the heat generated by the semiconductor element places a large load on the respective interfaces. This can reduce the bonding reliability of the substrates. Note that the thermal expansion coefficient here refers to the thermal expansion coefficient in the X-axis direction shown in Figure 1.

[0073] However, in the semiconductor device 300 of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the first lands 42 located on the first surface 101 of the first substrate 10 in the wiring substrate 100 extends into the third substrate 30, thereby suppressing expansion or contraction in the X-axis direction shown in FIG. 1 , which is the direction along the fifth surface 105 or the sixth surface 106 of the third substrate 30. This reduces the load on the interface between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30, thereby improving the bonding reliability of the substrates. Furthermore, since at least a portion of the first lands 42 extends into the third substrate 30, the thickness of the wiring substrate 100 can be reduced. This enables the wiring substrate 100 to be miniaturized.

[0074] Second Embodiment In the above-described first embodiment, an example has been described in which the first lands 42 of the wiring substrate 100 extend into the third base material 30. The wiring substrate 100 is not limited to this, and a part of the first lands 42 located on the first surface 101 may extend into the third base material 30, and a part of the first lands 42 may extend into the first base material 10.

[0075] 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a wiring board according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, at least a portion of the first lands 42 extends into the first substrate 10, thereby further suppressing expansion or contraction of the third substrate 30. This reduces the load on the interface between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30, thereby improving the bonding reliability of the substrates. Furthermore, the extension of a portion of the first lands 42 into the first substrate 10 further reduces the thickness of the wiring board 100. This allows the wiring board 100 to be miniaturized.

[0076] In the first embodiment described above, the wiring substrate 100 has the first inclined surface 421, which is an inclined surface that approaches the first surface 101 of the first base material 10 as the outer periphery of the first land 42 moves outward. However, the wiring substrate 100 is not limited to this, and may have a second inclined surface 422, which is an inclined surface that approaches the fifth surface 105 as the outer periphery of the first land 42 moves outward.

[0077] The provision of such a second inclined surface 422 allows the first land 42 and the first substrate 10 to be in close contact with each other. This makes it possible to prevent gaps from being generated around the outer periphery of the first land 42 and to increase the bonding area between the first land 42 and the first substrate 10, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the first substrate 10 and the third substrate 30.

[0078] 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a wiring board according to a third embodiment. As shown in Fig. 8, in the wiring board 100, the third base material 30 may have a built-in component 210 to be mounted on the wiring board 100. The built-in component 210 in the third base material 30 may be a capacitor or other chip component.

[0079] Since the component 210 is embedded in the third base material 30, it is possible to miniaturize a semiconductor device using the wiring board 100.

[0080] The third via conductor 61 may be a conductor whose main component is copper or a metal other than copper, such as silver. The third base material 30 may have a multilayer structure composed of multiple organic resin layers 31 and may have interlayer wiring. In this case, the interlayer wiring is formed of copper foil.

[0081] Since the component 210 is embedded in the third base material 30, it is possible to miniaturize a semiconductor device using the wiring board 100.

[0082] 9 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a method for manufacturing a wiring board according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9 , in this example of a method for manufacturing a wiring board 100 according to the third embodiment, first, a third substrate 30 having a plurality of laminated organic resin layers 31 (see FIG. 8 ) is punched out with a die to form a cavity 33 in the third substrate 30, and the third substrate 30 is then bonded to a first substrate 10 on which a component 210 is mounted. In this case, the component 210 is housed inside the cavity 33. The component 210 is mounted on the first surface 101 of the first substrate 10 and connected to the first land 42 by solder 81.

[0083] Next, the cavity 33 is filled with underfill 82, which is mainly composed of epoxy resin. Next, with the component 210 housed inside the cavity 33, the organic resin layer 31 of the third base material 30 is laminated so as to close the cavity 33. In this case, the organic resin layer 31 has second lands 52. The component 210 is connected to the second lands 52 by solder 83.

[0084] Next, the organic resin layer 21 of the second base material 20 is laminated on the third base material 30. By such a manufacturing method, it is possible to manufacture the wiring board 100 in which the components 210 are embedded in the third base material 30.

[0085] Other Embodiments The above-described wiring substrate 100 can be modified into various shapes. For example, the wiring substrate 100 may have a through-hole that penetrates from the first substrate 10 to the second substrate 20 in the center of a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wiring substrate 100.

[0086] Furthermore, the material of the first substrate 10 is not limited to LTCC. For example, aluminum oxide or aluminum nitride may be used as the first substrate 10.

[0087] The present disclosure has been described in detail above, but the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications, improvements, etc. are possible within the scope that does not deviate from the gist of the present disclosure.
