Abstract

An antenna built-in module which incorporates an antenna, is thin and excellent in antenna characteristics, a card type information device and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. A wiring board ( 110 ) which has a wiring pattern ( 120 ) and in which an electronic component is mounted on at least one surface thereof, a magnetic substance ( 160 ) embedded in the other surface of the wiring board ( 110 ), an antenna pattern ( 170 ) provided on the magnetic substance ( 160 ), the wiring pattern ( 120 ) of the wiring board ( 110 ) and the antenna terminal electrode of the antenna pattern ( 170 ) are connected by a conductive via ( 200 ).

Claims (17)

1. An antenna built-in module comprising:

a wiring board having a wiring pattern on one surface of the wiring board and which one surface has an electronic component mounted thereon;

a magnetic substance embedded in the wiring board so that a surface of the magnetic substance and the other surface of the wiring board are in the same plane;

an antenna pattern having a principal part on the surface of the magnetic substance, and an antenna terminal electrode at a position on the other surface of the wiring board other than the surface of the magnetic substance; and

a conductive via through the wiring board at the other surface other than the surface of the magnetic substance, and connecting the antenna terminal electrode and the wiring pattern.

2. The antenna built-in module according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic component includes at least a semiconductor storage element and a control element.

3. The antenna built-in module according to claim 1 , wherein an external connection terminal is formed on the wiring board.

4. The antenna built-in module according to claim 1 , wherein a connection substrate having an external connection terminal is formed on the wiring board.

5. The antenna built-in module according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic substance is formed on at least a region provided with a plurality of the electronic components.

6. A card type information device comprising the antenna built-in module according to claim 1 mounted in a casing.

7. A manufacturing method of an antenna built-in module comprising:

embedding a magnetic substance in a wiring board so that a surface of the magnetic substance and a first surface of the wiring board are in the same plane;

forming a wiring pattern on a second surface of the wiring board, and a conductive via through the wiring board at other than the surface of the magnetic substance, said conductive via connected to the wiring pattern;

connecting an antenna terminal electrode and the conductive via by forming an antenna pattern having a principal part formed on the surface of the magnetic substance, and the antenna terminal electrode formed at a position on the first surface of the wiring board other than the surface of the magnetic substance; and

mounting a plurality of electronic components on the wiring pattern.

8. The manufacturing method of the antenna built-in module according to claim 7 , further comprising a step of forming an external connection terminal on the wiring board.

9. A manufacturing method of a card type information device comprising a step of mounting in a casing an antenna built-in module manufactured by the manufacturing method according to claim 7 .
