Abstract:
1. A reinforced multilayered substrate for a semiconductor device, said reinforced multilayered substrate comprising: a body having a first face side and a second face side; a plurality of laminates disposed on at least one face side and overlying one another, each laminate comprising a conductor layer and an insulation layer; a plurality of pads, through which the substrate is electrically connectable to a semiconductor element to be mounted thereon, disposed on the outside of said multilayered substrate body on the first face side; a plurality of external connection terminals, through which the substrate is electrically connectable to an external electrical circuit, disposed on the outside of said multilayered substrate body on the second face side; a first metal reinforcing layer disposed on the first face side and reinforcingly connected to said multilayered substrate body, wherein said first metal reinforcing layer comprises an opening so as to allow the insertion of a semiconductor element for the electrical connection to the body of the substrate; and a second reinforcing metal layer in the form of a frame disposed on the second face side and reinforcingly connected to said multilayered substrate body, wherein said second reinforcing layer comprises openings such as not to prevent access to electrically connect external connection terminals to an external electrical circuit, and has a strength and a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially similar to those of the first metal reinforcing layer, wherein said reinforced multilayered substrate is substantially flat and unwarped by differences in thermal expansion between layers.
