Patent ID: 8261435

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a printed wiring board, comprising: preparing an electronic component having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and having a first electrode formed on the first surface; forming in an adhesive tape a first alignment mark for mounting the electronic component; mounting based on the first alignment mark the electronic component on the adhesive tape in such a way that the second surface faces the adhesive side of the adhesive tape; forming a second alignment mark on an insulative substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; forming in the insulative substrate an opening section larger than the outer shape of the electronic component; mounting based on the first and second alignment marks the insulative substrate on the adhesive side of the adhesive tape in such a way that the electronic component is accommodated in the opening section of the insulative substrate; fixing the electronic component to the insulative substrate using resin material; forming a first resin insulation layer on the first surface of the insulative substrate in which the electronic component is accommodated; removing the adhesive tape; forming in the first resin insulation layer an opening that reaches the first electrode of the electronic component; forming a first conductive circuit on the first resin insulation layer; and forming in the opening of the first resin insulation layer a via conductor that is connected to the first electrode of the electronic component.
