Patent 8080884 was granted and assigned to Panasonic on December, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A mounting structure of the present invention includes a semiconductor element 101, a circuit board 301 having electrodes 302 opposed to electrodes 102 of the semiconductor element 101, and conductive two-layer bumps 213. Second bumps 210 joined to the electrodes 302 of the circuit board 301 are formed larger than first bumps 209 joined to the electrodes 102 of the semiconductor element 101. The axis of the first bump 209 and the axis of the second bump 210 are not aligned with each other.
