Abstract

A mounting structure of an electronic component includes: a bump electrode included in the electronic component, the bump electrode having an internal resin as a core and a conductive film covering a surface of the internal resin, and elastically deforming so as to follow a shape of at least one corner of a terminal so that the conductive film makes direct conductive contact with at least part of a top surface of the terminal and at least part of a surface along a thickness direction of the terminal; a substrate having the terminal and the electronic component that is mounted on the substrate; and a holding unit provided to the substrate and the electronic component so as to hold a state in which the bump electrode electrically deformed makes conductive contact with the terminal.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a substrate having a terminal;

an electronic component including a bump electrode, the bump electrode comprising:

a conductive film having contact with the terminal; and

a resin covered by the conductive film; and

an adhesive having contact with the substrate and the electronic component,

wherein the conductive film contacts with at least part of a top surface of the terminal and at least part of a lateral surface of the terminal.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is composed of a sealing resin filled and cured around a conductive contact area of the bump electrode and the terminal.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein: the bump electrode is provided to the electronic component in plurality and the terminal is provided to the substrate in plurality; the plurality of terminals includes at least two terminals each having a different distance from the top surface thereof to a surface of the electronic component for forming the bump electrodes; and the bump electrodes include at least two bump electrodes corresponding to the at least two terminals, the at least two bump electrodes elastically deforming to a different degree according to the distance from each top surface of the at least two terminals to the surface of the electronic component for forming the bump electrodes.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive film directly makes conductive contact with an entire top surface of the terminal.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral surface includes two surfaces and the conductive film directly makes conductive contact with an entire surface of one of the two surfaces.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral surface includes two surfaces and the conductive film directly makes conductive contact with at least part of each of the two surfaces.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of one of the resin and the conductive film abuts a surface of the substrate in a vicinity of the terminal with which the conductive film makes direct contact.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein at least part of one of the resin and the conductive film concavely depresses a surface of the substrate in a vicinity of the terminal with which the conductive film makes direct contact so as to abut the surface of the substrate.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein: the resin is formed approximately like a barrel vault with a transverse sectional surface of one of approximately a half circle, approximately a half oval, and approximately a trapezoid;

and the conductive film is provided in a belt-like shape on the surface of the resin along a direction of the transverse sectional surface.

10. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein: the resin is formed in one of approximately a hemispheroid and approximately a circular truncated cone; and the conductive film is provided covering the surface of the resin.
