WIRING BOARD
A wiring board in which a semiconductor element connection pad formed on a strip-shaped wiring conductor and an electrode of a semiconductor element are firmly connected together, the wiring board having excellent electrical insulation between the semiconductor element connection pads which are adjacent to each other.
1 . A wiring board comprising:
an insulating board having, on an upper surface thereof, a mounting portion in which a semiconductor element is mounted;
a plurality of strip-shaped wiring conductors arranged side by side on the upper surface of the insulating board, and extending in an outer peripheral portion of the mounting portion in a manner to be perpendicular to an outer periphery of the semiconductor element;
a semiconductor element connection pad formed, on each of the strip-shaped wiring conductors, in a protruding shape and in a width identical with a width of the strip-shaped wiring conductor; and
a solder resist layer adhered to the upper surface of the insulating board, and having a slit-like opening along the outer periphery of the semiconductor element, so that the semiconductor element connection pad and a part of the strip-shaped wiring conductor are exposed in the slit-like opening,
wherein the semiconductor element connection pad is formed of a first conductor layer which is adhered onto the strip-shaped wiring conductor and has poor solder wettability, and a second conductor layer which is adhered onto an upper surface of the first conductor layer and has solder wettability.
2 . The wiring board according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first conductor layer is made of nickel or chrome, and
the second conductor layer is made of gold or palladium.
3 . The wiring board according to claim 2 ,
wherein the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer are plating layers.
4 . The wiring board according to claim 1 ,
wherein an oxide film is formed on at least a surface of the strip-shaped wiring conductor that is exposed in the opening.
5 . The wiring board according to claim 1 ,
wherein a thickness of the first conductor layer is larger than a thickness of the second conductor layer.
6 . The wiring board according to claim 5
wherein the thickness of the first conductor layer is 2 to 10 μm, and
the thickness of the second conductor layer is 0.3 to 1 μm.
