Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for manufacturing wiring boards with semiconductor chip mounting surfaces face challenges in maintaining the desirable pitch of electrode pads due to thermal expansion differences between wiring layers and insulating layers, leading to warpage and distortion, which complicates the connection with semiconductor chips, especially when pitches are small.

Innovation Solution

A method involving the formation of a peeling layer on a support board with a thermal expansion coefficient matching that of the semiconductor substrate, allowing for the precise formation and removal of wiring and insulating layers without significant pitch shift, using materials like silicon or borosilicate glass to minimize thermal stress-induced distortions.
