Abstract

The present disclosure enables a component to operate stably by making it unlikely that the component will be affected by unwanted electromagnetic waves generated by another component. A module includes: a substrate; a first component and a second component that are mounted on one main surface of the substrate; a sealing resin layer that seals the first component and the second component; and a shield layer that covers part of the sealing resin layer. A recess is formed in the sealing resin layer toward the one main surface from a surface including an upper surface of the sealing resin layer between the first component and the second component in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface. The shield layer is not provided in the recess of the sealing resin layer.

Claims (57)

1. A module comprising:

a substrate;

a first component and a second component that are mounted on one main surface of the substrate;

a sealing resin layer that seals the first component and the second component; and

a shield layer that covers part of the sealing resin layer;

wherein a recess is provided in the sealing resin layer toward the one main surface from a surface of the sealing resin layer that is on an opposite side from a surface of the sealing resin layer that faces the one main surface between at least the first component and the second component in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface, and

an entire surface of inside the recess of the sealing resin layer is exposed to an outside of the module.

2. The module according to claim 1 ,

wherein an electrode is provided on the one main surface, and

the recess reaches the one main surface in a region of the sealing resin layer that overlaps the electrode in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

3. The module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the recess is provided outside the first component so as to pass between the first component and the second component and surround an entire periphery of the first component in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

4. The module according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a shield component that is mounted on the one main surface of the substrate between the first component and the second component inside from a side wall surface of the recess that is on a first component side among side wall surfaces of the recess in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface;

wherein the shield component has a conducting portion that extends from a facing surface of the shield component that faces the one main surface to an opposite surface of the shield component that is on an opposite side from the facing surface and the conducting portion is connected to a ground electrode provided in the substrate on a side close to the facing surface of the shield component,

a through hole that reaches the shield component is provided in the sealing resin layer from a surface of the sealing resin layer that is on an opposite side from a surface of the sealing resin layer that faces the one main surface to the opposite surface of the shield component in at least part of a region that overlaps the shield component in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface, and

the shield layer is connected to the shield component in the through hole.

5. The module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the recess is provided so as to pass between the first component and the second component from one side surface to another side surface of the sealing resin layer in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

6. The module according to claim 3 ,

wherein the shield layer is not provided on one out of a first region and a second region that are provided and divided from each other by the recess, the first region overlapping the first component and the second region overlapping the second component in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

7. The module according to claim 5 ,

wherein the shield layer is not provided on one out of a first side surface portion and a second side surface portion, the first side surface portion surrounding the first component together with the recess and the second side surface portion surrounding the second component together with the recess in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

8. The module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the recess is provided so as to pass between the first component and the second component from one side surface of the sealing resin layer toward another side surface of the sealing resin layer up to a position where the recess does not reach the other side surface in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface, and

the shield layer is not provided on the one side surface of the sealing resin layer.

9. The module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a third component that is mounted on another main surface of the substrate; and

another sealing resin layer that seals the third component.

10. The module according to claim 2 ,

wherein the recess is provided outside the first component so as to pass between the first component and the second component and surround an entire periphery of the first component in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

11. The module according to claim 2 ,

wherein the recess is provided so as to pass between the first component and the second component from one side surface to another side surface of the sealing resin layer in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

12. The module according to claim 4 ,

wherein the shield layer is not provided on one out of a first region and a second region that are provided and divided from each other by the recess, the first region overlapping the first component and the second region overlapping the second component in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

13. The module according to claim 5 ,

wherein the shield layer is not provided on one out of a first region and a second region that are provided and divided from each other by the recess, the first region overlapping the first component and the second region overlapping the second component in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

14. The module according to claim 6 ,

wherein the shield layer is not provided on one out of a first side surface portion and a second side surface portion, the first side surface portion surrounding the first component together with the recess and the second side surface portion surrounding the second component together with the recess in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface.

15. The module according to claim 2 ,

wherein the recess is provided so as to pass between the first component and the second component from one side surface of the sealing resin layer toward another side surface of the sealing resin layer up to a position where the recess does not reach the other side surface in a plan view from a direction perpendicular to the one main surface, and

the shield layer is not provided on the one side surface of the sealing resin layer.

16. The module according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a third component that is mounted on another main surface of the substrate; and

another sealing resin layer that seals the third component.

17. The module according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a third component that is mounted on another main surface of the substrate; and

another sealing resin layer that seals the third component.

18. The module according to claim 4 , further comprising:
