US Patent 8026576 Wiring board

There is provided a wiring board. The wiring board includes: a semiconductor substrate having a through hole and covered with an insulating film; a through electrode formed in the through hole; a first wiring connected to one end of the through electrode; and a second wiring connected to the other end of the through electrode. The semiconductor substrate includes: a semiconductor element and a first guard ring formed to surround the through hole. The semiconductor element includes a first conductivity-type impurity diffusion layer having a different conductivity-type from that of the semiconductor substrate and is electrically connected to the first wiring and the second wiring.
