A chip component having an external electrode capable of both connection by an interlayer connection conductor and soldering, and a component built-in module including the chip component are manufactured and provided.
An electrode portion 31 on at least one main surface side of an external electrode 3 at an end portion of a chip component 1A incorporated in an insulating layer of a component built-in module is different from the remaining electrode portion 32 of the external electrode 3. The chip component 1A is formed from metal. In this case, for example, the metal part 31 is a metal suitable for connection with an interlayer connection conductor such as a via-hole conductor or a through-hole conductor of a component built-in module, and the metal part 32 is a metal suitable for soldering, so that the part is built-in. By connecting the electrode on the one main surface side of the insulating layer of the module and the electrode on the other main surface side using the external electrode 3, the component built-in module can be reduced in height and miniaturized.
The present invention relates to a chip component embedded (embedded) in an insulating layer of a component built-in module, a manufacturing method thereof, a component built-in module in which the chip component is embedded in an insulating layer, and a manufacturing method thereof. The present invention relates to the improvement of external electrodes and the improvement of the component built-in module.
Conventionally, various component built-in modules are formed by incorporating various chip components such as ceramic capacitors and resistors in an insulating layer. At that time, the chip component is provided with external electrodes at the left and right end portions, and the external electrodes are electrically connected to the in-plane conductors (pattern electrodes and the like) on the upper surface and the lower surface of the insulating layer via some connection conductors.
Specifically, when the connection conductor is an interlayer connection conductor such as a via hole conductor or a through-hole conductor, the conventional component built-in module 100 has an external electrode of a chip component as shown in FIG. . FIG. 13 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of an end portion of a ceramic capacitor 110 which is an example of a chip component. For example, the ceramic capacitor 110 is built in an insulating layer (insulating resin layer) 270 on the printed wiring board 220. The external electrode (external electrode layer) 160 of the ceramic capacitor 110 is connected to a conductor pattern (in-plane conductor) 280A on the upper surface of the insulating layer 270 via an interlayer connection conductor (interlayer connection portion) 330 such as a via-hole conductor or a through-hole conductor. Is done. The ceramic capacitor 110 is bonded to the printed wiring board 220 and then molded with an insulating layer (insulating resin layer) 270. Further, interlayer connection holes are formed in the insulating layer 270 by laser irradiation from above the insulating layer 270. Then, by plating the interlayer connection hole, the upper surface portion of the external electrode 160 of the ceramic capacitor 110 is joined to the lower surface portion of the interlayer connection conductor 330, and the external electrode 160 of the ceramic capacitor 110 is connected via the interlayer connection conductor 330. It is electrically connected to the conductor pattern 280A on the upper surface of the insulating layer 270 (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Note that even when the chip component built in the insulating layer 270 is other than the ceramic capacitor 110, the external electrode portion at the end thereof has substantially the structure shown in FIG.
JP 2003-309373 A (paragraphs [0047]-[0066], FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, etc.)
In the case of the conventional component built-in module 100 of FIG. 13, the ceramic capacitor 110 which is a chip component is connected only to the conductor pattern 280A on the upper surface of the insulating layer 270 via the interlayer connection conductor 330, as is apparent from FIG. It is not connected to the wiring pattern (in-plane conductor) 240A on the lower surface of the insulating layer 270.
Therefore, it is necessary to further provide an interlayer connection conductor such as a via-hole conductor or a through-hole conductor that connects the upper conductive pattern 280A and the lower wiring pattern 240A in the insulating layer 270. This hinders the reduction in the height and size of the component built-in module 100, increases the line length between the upper and lower surfaces of the insulating layer 270, increases the electrical loss, and the number of interlayer connection conductors in the insulating layer 270. As a result, the wiring density increases, and there are problems such as mutual interference between the interlayer connection conductors. Since the via hole conductor and the through hole conductor of the interlayer connection conductor 330 become larger in diameter as the insulating layer 270 becomes thicker, the interlayer connection conductor is particularly bulky and hinders downsizing in the component built-in module 100 and the like.
Therefore, for example, in the component built-in module 100, instead of providing an interlayer connection conductor that connects the conductor pattern 280A on the upper surface of the insulating layer 270 and the wiring pattern 240A on the lower surface, the lower surface side of the external electrode 160 is connected to the wiring pattern 240A. It is conceivable to reduce the size of the component built-in module 100 by connecting the conductor pattern 280A on the upper surface of the insulating layer 270 and the wiring pattern 240A on the lower surface using the external electrode 160 of the ceramic capacitor 110. However, how to connect the lower surface side of the external electrode 160 to the wiring pattern 240A becomes a problem.
By the way, the via-hole conductor and the through-hole conductor of the interlayer connection conductor 330 form a hole (interlayer connection hole) in the insulating layer 270 by irradiating the external electrode 160 with a laser from above the insulating layer 270. It is formed by plating or the like. In this case, if the external electrode 160 is formed of tin or nickel, the reflectivity of the laser is poor, and the ceramic capacitor 110 is damaged by the strong laser irradiation. Therefore, the external electrode 160 is formed of copper that does not have such inconvenience.
On the other hand, the copper external electrode 160 is easily oxidized on the surface and is not suitable for soldering. Therefore, when the external electrode 160 is made of copper, the connection between the external electrode 160 and the wiring pattern 240A cannot be performed by soldering.

<Chip component and manufacturing method thereof>
First, an embodiment of a chip component and a manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
A chip component 1A according to a first embodiment corresponding to claims 1 and 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an enlarged perspective view of the chip component 1A, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing electrode connection when the chip component 1A is built in the component built-in module 2.
A chip component 1A of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is formed by providing external electrodes 3 at the left and right ends of a small chip body 11 such as a ceramic capacitor or a resistor as in the conventional product, as shown in FIG. Embedded in the insulating layer 4 of the component built-in module 2.
The chip component 1A is different from the conventional product in that the external electrode 3 has an electrode portion 31 on one main surface (upper surface in the present embodiment) side of the insulating layer 4 and the other main surface of the insulating layer 4 (in the present embodiment). Is a point composed of two different types of electrode portions 31, 32.
In the case of this embodiment, the electrode part 31 is copper (Cu) suitable for irradiating the insulating layer 4 of the component built-in module 2 with a laser to form a hole in the via-hole conductor 5 that is an interlayer connection conductor, The electrode part 32 is tin (Sn) or nickel (Ni) suitable for connection with the solder 6 suitable for low profile.
Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, the metal of the electrode part 31 on the main surface side of the component built-in module in the external electrode 3 and the remaining electrode part 32 are different, and the connection of the external electrode 3 by the via-hole conductor 5 and the connection by the solder 6 It is possible to provide an unprecedented breakthrough chip component 1A that can perform both of the above.
A chip component 1B according to a second embodiment corresponding to claims 1 and 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the chip component 1B.
The chip component 1B of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is different from the chip component 1A of the first embodiment in that only the central portion on the one main surface (upper surface) side of the insulating layer 4 in the external electrodes 3 at the left and right end portions. Is a copper electrode portion 33, and the remaining portion including the other main surface (lower surface) side of the insulating layer 12 is a tin or nickel electrode portion 34.
Also in the case of the chip component 1B of the present embodiment, when the chip component 1B is built in the component built-in module 2 of FIG. 2 instead of the chip component 1A, the central portion on the one main surface side of the insulating layer 4 of the external electrode 3 is a via-hole conductor. 5 is copper suitable for forming the hole 5, and the other main surface side of the insulating layer 12 is tin or nickel suitable for the connection of the solder 6. Therefore, the connection of the external electrode 3 by the via-hole conductor 5 and the connection by the solder 6 Both can be performed well.
By the way, the electrode parts 32 and 34 connected by the solder 6 should just be tin or nickel suitable for soldering at least on the surface side, for example, may be a two-layer metal of tin or nickel and copper. Further, depending on the electrode connection structure of the component built-in module 2, in the chip components 1A and 1B of both embodiments, the electrode portions 31 and 33 may be tin or nickel, and the electrode portions 32 and 34 may be copper. The combination of the metal of the electrode parts 31 and 33 and the metal of the electrode parts 32 and 34 may be a combination different from copper and tin or nickel.
A third embodiment corresponding to claim 3, that is, an example of a chip component manufacturing method according to the present invention, will be described with reference to the manufacturing diagrams of FIG.
The chip component 1C manufactured according to the present embodiment has a shape in which the electrode portion 33 of the chip component 1B in FIG. 3 is spread over the entire surface. One surface of the surface (upper surface) side is a copper electrode portion 35, and the remaining portion is a tin or nickel electrode portion 36.
And in the manufacturing method of this embodiment, the chip | tip element | base_body 11 is first prepared by the preparatory process K1 of FIG. Next, the copper electrode 3cu is formed on the entire left and right ends of the chip body 11 by printing, plating, or the like in the copper electrode forming step K2. Further, a resist film R is formed on the upper surface portion of the copper electrode 3cu by a resist formation step K3. Next, a tin or nickel electrode 3sni is plated on the portion of the copper electrode 3cu that is not covered with the resist film R in the second metal electrode forming step K4. In this case, since the copper electrode 3cu is formed on the base of the electrode 3sni, plating or the like can be performed satisfactorily. Then, the resist film R is removed by the resist stripping process K5 to manufacture the chip component 1C.
The chip part 1C manufactured in this manner is a copper electrode portion 35 in which the upper surface of the external electrode 3 is made of a copper electrode 3cu, and the remaining portion of the external electrode 3 is a tin or nickel electrode 3sni on the front side and the back side is on the back side. This is a two-layer metal electrode portion 36 of the copper electrode 3cu, and has the same effect as the chip components 1A and 1B of the first and second embodiments. Steps K2 and K4 correspond to the two steps of claim 3. Of course, the chip components 1A and 1B can be manufactured in the same manner.
By the way, instead of the copper electrode forming step K2 of FIG. 4, a tin electrode forming step is provided, tin electrodes are formed on the entire left and right ends of the chip body 11, and the left and right ends of the chip body 11 are formed by the next resist forming step K3. Even if a resist film R is formed on the portion excluding the upper surface of the portion and copper electrodes are plated on the upper surfaces of the left and right end portions of the chip body 11 in the second metal electrode forming step K4, the same chip as the chip component 1C is obtained. Parts can be manufactured.
FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 are explanatory views of the manufacturing process of the fourth embodiment corresponding to claim 4, that is, another example of the chip component manufacturing method of the present invention, and the chips of FIG. This will be described with reference to an enlarged plan view of the component region and a cut front view.
In this embodiment, in order to mass-produce the chip component 1D similar to the chip component 1C of the third embodiment, first, in the copper electrode forming process P1 of FIG. 7 is prepared, and the chip component assembly 8 is separated into copper stripes at the positions of the left and right ends of each chip component region 7 on the upper and lower surfaces of the chip component assembly 8 by printing or the like. The electrode part 9 is formed. If the chip component 1D is a ceramic capacitor, the chip component assembly 8 is an unfired substrate of the ceramic body. After the electrode portion 9 is formed, the ceramic body and the electrode portion 9 are actually at the same time. Baked. In order to perform this co-firing, the electrode portion 9 needs to be made of copper or silver. For this reason, the electrode portion 9 is made of copper.
Next, a copper layer 10 is formed on the stripes of the electrode portions 9 on the surface side of the chip component assembly 8 by plating or the like in the wax application step P2 of FIG. 5, and then the entire surface of the chip component assembly 8 is waxed. 12 is applied. The reason why the copper layer 10 is formed so as to overlap the electrode portion 9 is to make the reflection of the laser good by increasing the thickness of the copper as much as possible.
Next, the chip part assembly 8 coated with the wax 12 is placed on the adhesive dicer sheet 13 by the groove forming step P3 of FIG. 5, and the end surface of each chip part region 7 of the chip part assembly 8 is placed. Striped grooves 14 along the boundary line (broken line in the figure) are formed by dicer cutting. At this time, the chip component assembly 8 is maintained in a unified state due to the adhesiveness of the dicer sheet 13.
Next, in the copper paste injection step P4 of FIG. 6, each groove 14 is filled with the copper paste 15 and cured, and the electrode parts 9 on both surfaces of the chip component assembly 8 are joined by the copper paste 15 to each chip component region. 7 are formed at the left and right end portions.
Then, the process proceeds to the cutting step P5 of FIG. 6, and the chip component assembly 8 is cut vertically and horizontally by the dicer cut with a narrower width than in the groove forming step P3, and separated into the chip component regions 7. At this time, each separated chip component region 7 has a chip component body 11a formed by the substrate of the chip component assembly 8, as shown in enlarged views in FIGS. 8A and 8B. Divided electrode portions 9a formed by vertically cutting the electrode portions 9 are provided on both the left and right end portions, and the end surfaces are covered with end surface electrode portions 15a formed by curing the copper paste 15. In addition, the divided electrode part 9a on the upper surface is overlapped with the divided copper layer 10a formed by cutting the copper layer 10, and the upper divided electrode part 9a and the divided copper layer 10a are shown in FIG. 8B. A copper electrode portion 37 is formed.
Next, the process proceeds to the barrel plating step P6 in FIG. 7, and the portions not covered with the wax 12 at the left and right ends of each chip component region 7, that is, the remaining portions other than the upper surface are plated with tin or nickel. These metal electrode portions 38 are formed.
Then, in the wax cleaning process P7 of FIG. 7, the wax 12 at the left and right end portions of each chip component region 7 is cleaned and dropped, and the chip components 1D are mass-produced.
The external electrodes 3 at the left and right end portions of the chip component 1D are composed of a copper electrode portion 37 on the upper surface and a tin or nickel electrode portion 38 on the surface of the remaining portion. Therefore, the mass-produced chip component 1D has the same effects as the chip components 1A to 1C of the first to third embodiments. Further, since the electrode portion 37 on the upper surface of the external electrode 3 is formed thick, for example, the chip component 1D is built in the component built-in module 2 of FIG. 2, and the laser is emitted from above the insulating layer 4 toward the upper surface of the chip component 1D. Irradiation to form the via-hole conductor 5 as an interlayer connection conductor has an advantage that the external electrode 3 of the chip component 1D is less susceptible to the influence of the laser.
And the chip components 1A-1C can be mass-produced similarly by the manufacturing method of this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 9, the component built-in module 2 generally includes an insulating layer 4 and a four-layer substrate 16 as a base. The insulating layer 4 is formed of, for example, a thermosetting insulating resin, and includes one or more chip components 1A. The insulating layer 4 has an insulating surface on one main surface (upper surface) side of the upper insulating layer 4 in FIG. On the other main surface (lower surface) side of the layer 4, for example, electrodes 17 and 18 of a conductor pattern (wiring pattern) are formed as in-plane conductors.
The component built-in module 2 is different from the conventional module in that at least one main part of the insulating layer 4 of the external electrode 3 at the left and right ends of each chip component 1A incorporated in the insulating layer 4 in order to reduce the height and size. A part of the surface side is formed of a metal different from the remaining part, and the external electrode 3 is used for connection of the electrodes 17 and 18.
That is, in the component built-in module 2, since there is a distance from the external electrode 3 of the chip component 1 </ b> A to the electrode 17 on the one main surface side of the insulating layer 4, the external electrode 3 and the electrode 17 are like via-hole conductors or through-hole conductors. Connected by interlayer connection conductor. Then, in order to satisfactorily form the hole of the via hole conductor or the through hole conductor in the insulating layer 4 by laser, the electrode portion 31 of the external electrode 3 is formed of copper. Further, in order to reduce the height and size of the component built-in module 2 by connecting the external electrode 3 and the electrode 18 on the other main surface side with the solder 6 which is a conductive bonding material, the electrodes of the remaining part of the external electrode 3 The part 32 is formed of tin or nickel suitable for soldering at least on the surface side.
The copper electrode portion 31 of the external electrode 3 is connected to the electrode 17 on the upper surface side of the insulating layer 4 by a via-hole conductor 5 as an interlayer connection conductor, and the tin or nickel electrode portion 32 of the external electrode 3 is insulated by the solder 6. It is connected to the electrode 18 on the lower surface side of the layer 4.
In this case, the external electrode 3 and the electrode 17 on the upper surface side of the insulating layer 4 are connected by a high via-hole conductor 5, but the external electrode 3 and the electrode 18 on the lower surface side of the insulating layer 14 are low by the solder 6. It is connected with a thin electrode structure suitable for the spine. Further, it is not necessary to provide a new interlayer connection conductor for connecting the electrodes 17 and 18 to the insulating layer 4, and it is possible to provide the component built-in module 2 with a low profile and a small size, which is not conventional.
Further, in the component built-in module 2, the line length between the upper and lower surfaces of the insulating layer 4 is not increased, the electric loss is not increased, the number of interlayer connection conductors in the insulating layer 4 is not increased, and the wiring density is reduced. It wo n’t be expensive. Therefore, mutual interference between the interlayer connection conductors does not occur.
Further, since the electrode part 31 of the chip part 1A is formed of copper, there is an advantage that the via hole conductor 5 can be formed without damaging the chip part 1A by irradiating the insulating layer 4 with a laser.
9 is connected to each mounting component 20 on the surface of the substrate 16 through a through-hole conductor 19 penetrating the substrate 16, for example.
By the way, when the chip components 1B to 1D are incorporated in the insulating layer 4 in place of the chip component 1A, a component built-in module having the same effect can be formed and provided.
Below, the manufacturing method of the component built-in module 2 corresponding to Claims 8-11 is demonstrated with reference to FIGS.
First, in the preparation step Q1 in FIG. 10, a substrate (base) 16 having an electrode 18 formed on the upper surface and a required number of chip components 1A are prepared, and the copper electrode portion 31 of the external electrode 3 at the left and right ends is Then, the chip component 1A is disposed on the substrate 16, and tin or nickel of the electrode portion 32 of the external electrode 3 of the chip component 1A is solder-mounted to the electrode 19 of the substrate 16 and joined.
Next, the process proceeds to the resin sealing step Q2 of FIG. 10, and an insulating resin prepreg is pressed from above the substrate 16, and the insulating layer 4 is formed by, for example, thermosetting, and each chip component 1A is sealed in the insulating layer 4. Stop and bury.
Next, in the via hole forming step Q3 of FIG. 10, a laser is irradiated from above the insulating layer 4 toward the upper surface of the electrode portion 31 of the external electrode 3 of the chip component 1A, thereby forming each via hole 51 in the insulating layer 4. To do.
Further, the process proceeds to the conductive paste filling step Q4 in FIG. 11, and the via hole 51 is filled with the conductive paste 52 to form the via hole conductor 5 as an interlayer connection conductor.
Then, in the electrode pattern forming step Q5 of FIG. 11, the conductor pattern of the electrode 17 is formed on the upper surface of the insulating layer 4 so as to cover each via-hole conductor 5, and the component built-in module 2 is manufactured.
In this case, the chip component 1A is built in the insulating layer 4, the external electrode 3 of the chip component 1A and the electrode 18 of the insulating layer 4 are connected by solder mounting, and the external electrode 3 of the chip component 1A and the electrode 17 of the insulating layer 4 are connected. Are interconnected by via-hole conductors 5, and the component built-in module 2 that is lower in height and smaller than the conventional one can be easily manufactured. In addition, since the electrode portion 32 of the external electrode 3 of the chip component 1A is tin or nickel, solder mounting between the external electrode 3 of the chip component 1A and the electrode 18 of the insulating layer 4 can be performed satisfactorily. Furthermore, since the electrode part 31 of the external electrode 3 of the chip part 1A is made of copper with good laser reflection, the via-hole conductor 5 as an interlayer connection conductor is formed well without damaging the external electrode 3 by laser irradiation. There are also advantages.
Therefore, it is possible to manufacture and provide an unprecedented small and high quality component built-in module 2.
By the way, after the via hole forming step Q3 in FIG. 10, instead of the conductive paste filling step Q4 and the electrode pattern forming step Q5 in FIG. 11, the via hole plating / electrode pattern forming step Q45 in FIG. It is also possible to manufacture the component built-in module 2 by performing copper plating, filling each via hole 51 and forming a conductor pattern of the electrode 17. If the via hole 51 is large in diameter and cannot be filled with copper plating, only the wall surface of the via hole 51 may be plated with copper and filled with conductive paste or non-conductive paste.
Further, when the chip components 1B to 1D are used instead of the chip component 1A, the component built-in module can be easily manufactured in the same manner.
