Patent attributes
A module includes a substrate, a plurality of components on an upper surface of the substrate, a component on a lower surface of the substrate, solder balls on the lower surface, sealing resin layers stacked on the upper surface and the lower surface of the substrate, and a shield film covering a side surface and an upper surface of the module. Part of each solder ball is exposed from a surface of the sealing resin layer, and the exposed parts are shaped to protrude from the sealing resin layer. The module can be connected to a mother substrate by connecting the protruding parts of the solder balls. There are gaps between the solder balls and the sealing resin layer, and the occurrence of cracks in the solder balls can be suppressed by reducing stress arising from a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the solder and the resin.
