Patent attributes
A semiconductor IC-embedded substrate suitable for embedding a semiconductor IC in which the electrode pitch is extremely narrow. The substrate comprises a semiconductor IC 120 in which stud bumps 121 are provided to the principal surface 120a, a first resin layer 111 for covering the principal surface 120a of the semiconductor IC 120, and a second resin layer 112 for covering the back surface 120b of the semiconductor IC 120. The stud bumps 121 of the semiconductor IC 120 protrude from the surface of the first resin layer 111. The method for causing the stud bumps 121 to protrude from the surface of the first resin layer 111 may involve using a wet blasting method to cause an overall reduction of the thickness of the first resin layer 111. The stud bumps 121 can thereby be properly uncovered even when the electrode pitch of the semiconductor IC 120 is narrow.
