Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a wiring board, a basic circuit pattern is formed on an insulating plate, and a metal layer is formed on the basic circuit pattern by cold spraying to thereby form a built-up circuit pattern on the basic circuit pattern.

Claims (19)

1. A method of manufacturing a wiring board comprising:

forming a basic circuit pattern on an insulating plate,

forming a metal layer on the basic circuit pattern by cold spraying metallic particle onto the basic circuit pattern to form a built-up circuit pattern on the basic circuit pattern, said built-up circuit pattern being directly deposited on the basic circuit pattern to have a predetermined shape without further processing and being thicker than the basic circuit pattern, and

mounting a heat-generating semiconductor component on the built-up circuit pattern,

wherein the built-up circuit pattern is provided at least on the basic circuit pattern in a region where the semiconductor component is mounted, and

the built-up circuit pattern and the basic circuit pattern have a total thickness equal to a distance from an edge of the mounted semiconductor component to an edge of the built-up circuit pattern.

2. The method of manufacturing the wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating plate is a metal base wiring board comprising a metal plate, and an inorganic filler-containing resin bonded to the metal plate.

3. The method of manufacturing the wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating plate is a ceramic wiring board comprising a ceramic insulating plate with metal foil on two sides thereof, and the ceramic insulating plate consists of one material selected from the group consisting of Al 2 O 3 , AlN, and Si 3 N 4 .

4. The method of manufacturing the wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the metal material is one selected from the group consisting of copper, aluminum, iron, titanium, molybdenum, and nickel.

5. The method of manufacturing the wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein said metal layer directly formed on the basic circuit pattern is only partly disposed on the basic circuit pattern without forming an entire surface of the basic circuit pattern.

6. The method of manufacturing the wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein a metal foil of the basic circuit pattern has a thickness selected to facilitate etching thereof during fabrication there.

7. A method of manufacturing a wiring board, comprising:

forming a basic circuit pattern on an insulating plate,

forming a metal layer on the basic circuit pattern by cold spraying metallic particle onto the basic circuit pattern to form a built-up circuit pattern on the basic circuit pattern, said built-up circuit pattern being directly deposited on the basic circuit pattern to have a predetermined shape without further processing and being thicker than the basic circuit pattern, and

mounting a heat-generating semiconductor component on the built-up circuit pattern,

wherein the built-up circuit pattern is provided at least on the basic circuit pattern in a region where the semiconductor component is mounted, and

the built-up circuit pattern and the basic circuit pattern have a total thickness having a ratio of the total thickness to a distance from an edge of the mounted semiconductor component to the edge of the built-up circuit pattern in a range of from 0.8 to 1.2.

8. The method of manufacturing the wiring board according to claim 7 , wherein the insulating plate is a metal base wiring board comprising a metal plate, and an inorganic filler-containing resin bonded to the metal plate.

9. The method of manufacturing the wiring board according to claim 7 , wherein said metal layer directly formed on the basic circuit pattern is disposed on an entire surface of the basic circuit pattern.
