Abstract:
In a module (51) including circuit elements, a plurality of wires (12), which are generally two-dimensionally formed, are multi-layered via electrically insulating material (11), which comprises a mixture including at least filler and electrically insulating resin. One or more circuit elements are electrically connected to the wires, and at least a part of those circuit elements is embedded in the electrically insulating material. The module (51) further includes a heat sink member (13) that has a higher thermal conductivity than the electrically insulating material, and that, when viewed from the direction of multi-layering the wires, overlaps with a circuit element (14), which is one of those circuit elements, exhibiting the highest temperature rise at least in the module.
Abstract:
At least two electric elements (203) such as semiconductor chips or surface acoustic wave devices are mounted on wiring patterns (201), and the electric elements (203) are sealed with a thermosetting resin composition (204). An upper surface of the at least two electric elements (203) and an upper surface of the thermosetting resin composition (204) are abraded at the same time, thereby forming surfaces substantially flush with each other. Since they are abraded while being sealed with the thermosetting resin composition (204), it is possible to reduce the thickness without damaging the electric elements (203). Also, the electric elements (203) and the wiring patterns (201) can be prevented from being contaminated by an abrasive liquid. In this manner, it is possible to obtain an electric element built-in module whose thickness can be reduced while maintaining its mechanical strength.
