Abstract

A printed wiring board includes: a substrate main body; a solder resist layer provided on the substrate main body and having a first opening in which a part of the solder bump is formed; and a solder resist layer provided on the solder resist layer and having a second opening through which the solder bump is formed. The shape of the second opening is non-analogous to the shape of the first opening when viewed as plane-wise.

Claims (29)

1 . A printed wiring board, comprising:

a substrate main body:

a first solder resist layer which is provided on the substrate main body and comprises a first opening in which a part of the solder bump is buried; and

a second solder resist layer which is provided on the first solder resist layer and comprises a second opening through which the solder bump extends,

wherein a shape of the second opening is non-analogous to a shape of the first opening when viewed as plane-wise.

2 . The printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein said second solder resist layer comprises a first surface attached to the first solder resist layer and a second surface opposed to said first surface, said first surface having an area smaller than an area of said second surface.

3 . The printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein an angle of a side surface of the second solder resist layer with respect to the first solder resist layer is less than 90°.

4 . The printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the shapes of the first and second openings are circular and rectangular, respectively, when viewed plane-wise.

5 . The printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the second solder resist layer is columnar.

6 . The printed wiring board according to claim 5 , wherein the second solder resist layer is arranged in a form of a zigzag lattice with the first opening when viewed plane-wise.

7 . The printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the second solder resist layer is in a range of 5 μm or more and 35 μm or less.

8 . The printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the first opening is geometrically same as said second opening.

9 . A method of forming a printed wiring board, comprising:

forming, on a substrate main body, a first solder resist layer including a first opening in which a part of a solder bump is buried; and

forming, on the first solder resist layer, a second solder resist layer containing a second opening through which the solder bump extends,

wherein the second opening is formed so as to have a shape which is non-analogous to a shape of the first opening when viewed plane-wise.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein said forming the second solder resist layer comprises:

treating the second solder resist layer of a photographic development type so as to be rendered tack-free;

exposing the second solder resist layer after treatment and carrying out development for a development time in a range of two times or more and five times or less as long as a break point; and

curing the second solder resist layer after the development.

11 . A printed wiring board, comprising:

a substrate main body:

a first solder resist layer which is provided on the substrate main body and comprises a first opening to form a solder bump therein; and

a second solder resist layer which is provided on the first solder resist layer and comprises a second opening to form the solder bump therein, said second opening having an other than circular structure such that the distance between an edge of said first opening and an edge of said second opening varies.

12 . The printed wiring board as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said second opening has rectangular shape.

13 . The printed wiring board as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said second opening has a shape so that said second solder resist layer constitutes a structure including a plurality of column.

14 . The printed wiring board as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said second opening has a polygonal shape.

15 . The printed wiring board as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said second opening has an oval shape.

16 . The printed wiring board as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said second solder resist layer comprises a first surface attached to the first solder resist layer and a second surface opposed to said first surface, said first surface having an area smaller than an area of said second surface.
