Description

本発明は、セラミックからなる基板本体の表面に電気的に独立し且つ表面にメッキ膜が被覆された表面導体部を備えた配線基板に関する。   The present invention relates to a wiring board provided with a surface conductor portion which is electrically independent on the surface of a substrate body made of ceramic and whose surface is coated with a plating film.

通常、セラミックからなる基板本体の表面や該表面に開口するキャビティの底面に、電気的に独立した封止用メタライズ層あるいはダミー用のパッドを備えた配線基板においては、前記封止用メタライズ層やパッドの表面にも金属メッキ膜を被覆する必要がある。そのため、焼成された上記基板本体の側面において、メッキ用電極棒と接触させて導通するため、上記パッドを含む複数の導体部と導通する電極用メタライズ層を予め該側面に形成しておき、電解メッキ後に前記電極用メタライズ層の全部あるいは一部を除去する方法が行われている。
例えば、セラミックからなる絶縁基体の側面に形成した接続用メタライズ層を、所望のメタライズ層などの表面に電解メッキを施した後、上記接続用メタライズ層を一定の面積以上が残るように研磨して除去することにより、上記絶縁基体にクラックや欠けなどが発生する事態を有効に防止した半導体素子収納用パッケージの製造方法が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
Usually, in a wiring board provided with an electrically independent metallization layer for sealing or a dummy pad on the surface of a substrate body made of ceramic or the bottom surface of a cavity opened on the surface, the metallization layer for sealing or It is necessary to coat the surface of the pad with a metal plating film. For this reason, on the side surface of the baked substrate main body, in order to be brought into contact with the plating electrode rod, the electrode metallization layer is formed in advance on the side surface to be electrically connected to the plurality of conductor parts including the pad. A method of removing all or part of the electrode metallization layer after plating is performed.
For example, after a connection metallization layer formed on the side surface of an insulating base made of ceramic is subjected to electrolytic plating on the surface of a desired metallization layer or the like, the connection metallization layer is polished so that a certain area or more remains. There has been proposed a method for manufacturing a package for housing a semiconductor element that effectively prevents the occurrence of cracks, chips, etc. in the insulating substrate by removing (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

しかし、前記半導体素子収納用パッケージの製造方法のように、セラミックからなる絶縁基体の側面に形成した接続用メタライズ層を選択的に研磨により除去する場合でも、除去すべき上記接続用メタライズ層の一部を含む絶縁基体の側面を、該絶縁基体の表面および裏面と平行な横(外周)方向、あるいは前記表面および裏面と直交する厚み方向に沿って、上記側面を構成するセラミック部分を含めて帯状に広く研磨することが必要になる。その結果、上記セラミック部分を含む研磨工程の所要時間が増大し且つコスト高に招来する、という問題点があった。
更に、電解メッキ後においては、絶縁基体の側面に露出する複数のメッキ用配線同士の仇を電気的に絶縁するため、互いに一定距離以上離しておく必要がある。そのため、前記のように比較的面積の大きな接続用メタライズ層を選択的に研磨により除去する方法では、隣接するメッキ用配線同士間の絶縁を確保することが著しく困難になる、という問題点もあった。
However, even when the connection metallization layer formed on the side surface of the insulating base made of ceramic is selectively removed by polishing as in the method for manufacturing a package for housing a semiconductor element, one of the connection metallization layers to be removed should be removed. The side surface of the insulating substrate including the portion is strip-shaped including the ceramic portion constituting the side surface along the lateral (peripheral) direction parallel to the front and back surfaces of the insulating substrate or the thickness direction orthogonal to the front and back surfaces. It is necessary to polish it widely. As a result, there is a problem in that the time required for the polishing step including the ceramic portion increases and the cost increases.
Furthermore, after electrolytic plating, it is necessary to keep a certain distance or more away from each other in order to electrically insulate the ridges of the plurality of plating wires exposed on the side surfaces of the insulating base. Therefore, the method of selectively removing the metallization layer having a relatively large area by polishing as described above has a problem that it is extremely difficult to ensure insulation between adjacent plating wires. It was.

Provided is a wiring board that includes a plurality of plating wirings that are electrically connected to a portion, can easily secure insulation between the plating wirings, and has an electrode metallization layer removed during electrolytic plating removed with a small amount of polishing. , That is the subject.

即ち、本発明の配線基板(請求項1)は、セラミックからなり、平面視が矩形状の表面および裏面と、これらの間に位置する四辺の側面とを有する基板本体と、該基板本体の表面に形成された単数または複数の表面導体部と、前記基板本体の表面、裏面、および側面の少なくとも一つに形成された複数の外部接続端子と、上記基板本体の何れかの側面における表面と裏面との中間位置から裏面にかけて形成され、且つ前記中間位置から裏面に向かって幅が広くなる凹部と、上記凹部の内壁面に一端面が互いに離れて露出する複数のメッキ用配線と、を含む配線基板であって、上記表面導体部と少なくとも1個の上記メッキ用配線とは、電気的に接続されており、該表面導体部と上記外部接続端子とは、電気的に互いに独立している、ことを特徴とする。
In the present invention, a side surface of a substrate body made of ceramic is provided with a concave portion whose width increases from an intermediate position in the thickness direction on the side surface toward the back surface side, and is connected to the surface conductor portion on the inner wall surface of the concave portion. It was conceived to expose one end surfaces of a plurality of plating wirings including wirings apart from each other.
That is, the wiring board according to the present invention (Claim 1) is made of ceramic and has a front and back surfaces that are rectangular in plan view, and a substrate body having four side surfaces positioned therebetween, and a surface of the substrate body. One or a plurality of surface conductor portions formed on the substrate body, a plurality of external connection terminals formed on at least one of the surface, the back surface, and the side surface of the substrate body, and the surface and the back surface on any side surface of the substrate body Including a recess that is formed from an intermediate position to the back surface and that increases in width from the intermediate position toward the back surface, and a plurality of plating wirings that have one end surfaces exposed away from each other on the inner wall surface of the recess. A substrate, wherein the surface conductor portion and at least one of the plating wires are electrically connected, and the surface conductor portion and the external connection terminal are electrically independent from each other; Special To.

これによれば、前記表面導体部は、記凹部の内壁面に一端面が互いに離れて露出する複数のメッキ用配線のうちの1個と電気的に接続されていると共に、かかる表面導体部は、前記複数の外部接続端子の何れとも電気的に接続されていない。例えば、上記表面導体部が基板本体の表面に開口するキャビティの開口部に沿って形成された平面視が枠形状の封止用メタライズ層である場合、予め、前記凹部が形成される前の平坦な側面に配置された電極用メタライズ層を介して、電解メッキをその表面に施され、同時に上記と同じ電極用メタライズ層を介して電解メッキを別の表面導体部の表面に施された後、上記電極用メタライズ層を含む上記側面の裏面側を研磨などで除去して凹部を形成することで、該凹部の内壁面に一端面が露出する複数のメッキ用配線同士間を電気的独立したものとされる。そのため、使用時には、電流が流れない表面導体部を含む複数の導体部の表面に確実に金属メッキ膜が被覆された配線基板となっている。更に、同じ凹部の内壁面において露出する複数のメッキ用配線(一端面)の間隔を、ある程度以上の距離になるよう設定することで、上記メッキ用配線同士間の短絡を確実に予防できる。
しかも、前記凹部は、基板本体における何れかの側面の厚み方向における任意の中間位置から該側面の裏面側に向かって幅が広くなるように形成されているので、製造時における工数および研磨時間を低減でき且つ低コスト化にも繋がる。

Electrolytic plating is applied to the surface through the electrode metallization layer disposed on the side surface, and at the same time, electrolytic plating is applied to the surface of another surface conductor portion through the same electrode metallization layer as described above, By removing the back side of the side surface including the electrode metallization layer by polishing or the like to form a recess, the plurality of plating wires whose one end faces are exposed on the inner wall surface of the recess are electrically independent. It is said. Therefore, in use, the wiring board is such that the surface of the plurality of conductor portions including the surface conductor portion through which no current flows is reliably coated with the metal plating film. Further, by setting the interval between the plurality of plating wires (one end surface) exposed on the inner wall surface of the same recess so as to be a certain distance or more, a short circuit between the plating wires can be reliably prevented.
In addition, since the recess is formed so as to increase in width from an arbitrary intermediate position in the thickness direction of any side surface of the substrate body toward the back side of the side surface, man-hours and polishing time during manufacturing can be reduced. It can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

一方、前記複数の素子実装用パッド9のうち、短辺の側面5側に位置する一対の素子実装用パッド(表面導体部)9aは、使用時には電気的に独立するダミー用のパッドであり、キャビティ6aの底面7から垂下するビア導体15を介して、該ビア導体15の下端と他端部が接続し且つ前記凹部11の内壁面のうち、比較的裏面4側に一端面が露出するメッキ用配線14の一方と電気的に接続されている。
尚、他方のメッキ用配線14は、図示しない内部配線(配線層およびビア導体)を介して、前記ダミー用のパッド9a以外の素子実装用パッド9や、前記複数の外部接続端子17の少なくとも一部と電気的に接続されている。
また、図1,図3に示すように、前記複数の外部接続端子17の表面には、リード18の上端部が個別に接合され、かかる複数のリード18の下端側は、図示しない水平姿勢で単一の外枠部によって互い接続されている。
Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the sealing metallization layer 10 is a via conductor extending vertically in a vertically long side wall located between the side surface 5 of the substrate body 2a and the inner surface 8 of the cavity 6a. The via conductor 13 is connected to the lower end and the other end of the via conductor 13 and is electrically connected to the plating wiring 12 whose one end surface is relatively exposed on the surface 3 side of the inner wall surface 11f of the recess 11. Has been.
On the other hand, of the plurality of element mounting pads 9, a pair of element mounting pads (surface conductor portions) 9a located on the side 5 of the short side are dummy pads that are electrically independent when in use, Plating in which the lower end and the other end of the via conductor 15 are connected via a via conductor 15 that hangs down from the bottom surface 7 of the cavity 6a, and one end surface is exposed relatively to the back surface 4 side of the inner wall surface of the recess 11. It is electrically connected to one of the wirings 14 for use.
The other plating wiring 14 is connected to at least one of the element mounting pads 9 other than the dummy pads 9a and the plurality of external connection terminals 17 via internal wiring (wiring layer and via conductor) (not shown). It is electrically connected to the part.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the upper ends of the leads 18 are individually joined to the surfaces of the plurality of external connection terminals 17, and the lower ends of the leads 18 are in a horizontal posture (not shown). They are connected to each other by a single outer frame.

前記凹部11は、図1〜図3に示すように、基板本体2aの短辺の側面5ごとにおける前記表面3と裏面4との中間位置から該裏面4にかけて幅が広がるように形成され、前記キャビティ6a側に凸で且つほぼ4分の1状の球体を呈する湾曲面からなる内壁面11fには、比較的表面3側のメッキ用配線12の一端面と、比較的裏面4側で且つ左右一対のメッキ用配線14の一端面とが露出している。
図4の前記短辺の側面5で例示するように、前記基板本体2aは、複数のセラミック層(セラミック)c1〜c5を積層してなる。該側面5に位置する凹部11の内壁面11fにおいて、比較的裏面4側で且つ左右一対のメッキ用配線14同士の間隔aと、該一対のメッキ用配線14と比較的表面3側のメッキ用配線12との間隔bとは、互いにほぼ同じとされ且つこれらのメッキ用配線12,14同士が互いに短絡しない距離以上に設定されている。そのため、合計3個の上記メッキ用配線12,14は、側面視で、全体として正三角形状の角部ごとに中心部が個別に位置するように配置されている。
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the recess 11 is formed so that the width increases from an intermediate position between the front surface 3 and the back surface 4 to the back surface 4 for each side surface 5 of the short side of the substrate body 2 a. An inner wall surface 11f made of a curved surface that protrudes toward the cavity 6a and has a substantially quarter-shaped sphere has one end surface of the plating wiring 12 on the relatively front surface 3 side, and on the relatively back surface 4 side and left and right sides. One end surfaces of the pair of plating wires 14 are exposed.
As exemplified by the short side surface 5 of FIG. 4, the substrate body 2a is formed by laminating a plurality of ceramic layers (ceramics) c1 to c5. On the inner wall surface 11f of the recess 11 located on the side surface 5, the distance a between the pair of left and right plating wires 14 on the relatively back surface 4 side, and the plating surface on the relatively surface 3 side with the pair of plating wires 14 The interval b with the wiring 12 is substantially the same as each other, and is set to be equal to or longer than the distance at which the plating wirings 12 and 14 are not short-circuited with each other. Therefore, a total of three of the above-described plating wires 12 and 14 are arranged so that the central portion is individually positioned for each corner portion of the equilateral triangle as a whole in a side view.

また、図4に示すように、上記凹部11における側面5の開口部と、前記裏面4との交叉角度θ1は、90度超の鈍角とされている。その結果、凹部11における側面5の開口部と裏面4との交叉部付近のセラミックが局部ないし部分的に不用意に欠ける事態(所謂チッピング)を未然に防ぐことが可能である。
尚、前記セラミック層c1〜c5がアルミナなどの高温焼成セラミックからなる場合、前記素子実装パッド9,9a、表面導体部の封止用メタライズ層10、メッキ用配線12,14、ビア導体13,15、外部接続端子17などは、WまたはMoあるいはこれらの一方をベースとする合金からなる。一方、前記セラミック層c1〜c5がガラス−セラミックなどの低温焼成セラミックからなる場合、上記素子実装パッド9,9aや封止用メタライズ層10などの導体は、CuまたはAgあるいはこれらの一方をベースとする合金からなるものとされる。
また、前記リード18は、コバール、42アロイ、あるいは194合金などからなり、前記外枠部を含めて単一のリードフレーム(図示せず)を構成している。
As shown in FIG. 4, the crossing angle θ1 between the opening of the side surface 5 in the recess 11 and the back surface 4 is an obtuse angle exceeding 90 degrees. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation (so-called chipping) in which the ceramic in the vicinity of the intersection of the opening of the side surface 5 and the back surface 4 in the concave portion 11 is locally or partially inadvertently missing.
When the ceramic layers c1 to c5 are made of a high-temperature fired ceramic such as alumina, the element mounting pads 9, 9a, the surface conductor metallizing layer 10 for sealing, the plating wires 12, 14, and the via conductors 13, 15 are used. The external connection terminals 17 and the like are made of W, Mo, or an alloy based on one of them. On the other hand, when the ceramic layers c1 to c5 are made of a low-temperature fired ceramic such as glass-ceramic, the conductors such as the element mounting pads 9 and 9a and the sealing metallized layer 10 are based on Cu or Ag or one of them. It is supposed to be made of an alloy.
The lead 18 is made of Kovar, 42 alloy, 194 alloy or the like, and constitutes a single lead frame (not shown) including the outer frame portion.

図5は、前記図4と同様の前記側面5の拡大側面図であり、かかる側面5に形成された凹部11の内壁面11fには、比較的表面3側に1個のメッキ用配線12が露出し、比較的中程の左右一対のメッキ用配線14が互いに間隔aを離れて露出すると共に、比較的裏面4側に3個のメッキ用配線16が互いに間隔aを離れて露出している。更に、凹部11の内壁面11fにおける前記表面3と裏面4との厚み方向において、メッキ用配線12,14間、およびメッキ用配線14,16間は、上記間隔aとほぼ同じ間隔bを置いて互いに離れて露出している。
即ち、合計6個のメッキ用配線12,14,16は、側面視における全体として、ほぼ市松模様あるいは鱗模様を呈するように配設され、互いの間に上記間隔a,bを絶縁可能な距離に設定しているため、互いに短絡しにくくなっている。
尚、比較的裏面4側に一端面が露出するメッキ用配線16は、前記ダミー用のパッド9a以外の素子実装用パッド9や、複数の前記外部接続端子17の少なくとも一部と適宜電気的に接続されている。
また、図5中の上記凹部11における側面5の開口部と、前記裏面4との交叉角度θ2も、90度超の鈍角とされている。
FIG. 5 is an enlarged side view of the side surface 5 similar to FIG. 4, and the inner wall surface 11 f of the recess 11 formed on the side surface 5 has one plating wiring 12 relatively on the surface 3 side. A pair of left and right plating wires 14 that are relatively middle are exposed at a distance a apart from each other, and three plating wirings 16 are exposed at a relatively back surface 4 side at a distance a. . Further, in the thickness direction between the front surface 3 and the back surface 4 of the inner wall surface 11f of the recess 11, the space between the plating wires 12 and 14 and the space between the plating wires 14 and 16 are set at the same interval b as the interval a. They are exposed away from each other.
That is, a total of six plating wirings 12, 14, and 16 are arranged so as to exhibit a checkerboard pattern or a scale pattern as a whole in a side view, and the distances a and b can be insulated from each other. Therefore, it is difficult to short-circuit each other.
It should be noted that the plating wiring 16 having one end surface exposed relatively to the back surface 4 side is appropriately electrically connected to the element mounting pads 9 other than the dummy pads 9a and at least a part of the plurality of external connection terminals 17. It is connected.
Further, the crossing angle θ2 between the opening of the side surface 5 in the recess 11 in FIG. 5 and the back surface 4 is also an obtuse angle exceeding 90 degrees.

以上のような配線基板1aは、以下のようにして製造された。
予め、アルミナ粉末などを含む5枚のセラミックグリーンシートを制作し、各グリーンシートごとの適所に孔明け加工を施し、キャビティ6a用の開口孔と比較的小径の貫通孔を形成し、該貫通孔ごとにW粉末などを含む導電性ペーストを充填してビア導体13,15を形成した。次に、各グリーンシートの表面および裏面の少なくとも一方に、上記同様の導電性ペーストをスクリーン印刷して所定パターンを有する未焼成の素子実装用パッド9,9a、封止用メタライズ層10、メッキ用配線12,14(16)を形成した。次いで、上記5枚のグリーンシートを所定の順序で積層および圧着した後、所定の温度帯で焼成した。
その結果、前記セラミック層c1〜c5を積層してなり、矩形枠状の表面3のほぼ全面に封止用メタライズ層10が形成され、該表面3に開口するキャビティ6の底面7に複数の素子実装用パッド9,9aが形成され、対向する一対の短辺の側面5の裏面4側ごとにメッキ用配線12,14(16)の一端面が個別に露出している基板本体2aを有するセラミック積層体を得た。
The wiring board 1a as described above was manufactured as follows.
Five ceramic green sheets containing alumina powder or the like are produced in advance, and drilling is performed at appropriate positions for each green sheet to form an opening hole for the cavity 6a and a through hole having a relatively small diameter. Via conductors 13 and 15 were formed by filling a conductive paste containing W powder or the like every time. Next, on the at least one of the front and back surfaces of each green sheet, the same conductive paste as described above is screen-printed to form unfired element mounting pads 9 and 9a having a predetermined pattern, sealing metallization layer 10, and plating. Wirings 12 and 14 (16) were formed. Next, the five green sheets were laminated and pressure-bonded in a predetermined order, and then fired at a predetermined temperature range.
As a result, the ceramic layers c1 to c5 are laminated, and the sealing metallized layer 10 is formed on almost the entire surface of the rectangular frame-shaped surface 3, and a plurality of elements are formed on the bottom surface 7 of the cavity 6 opening on the surface 3. A ceramic having a substrate body 2a in which mounting pads 9 and 9a are formed, and one end surfaces of the plating wirings 12 and 14 (16) are individually exposed on the back surface 4 side of a pair of opposing short side surfaces 5 A laminate was obtained.

更に、図6(A),(B)に示すように、基板本体2aにおける一対の短辺の側面5ごとにおいて、一端面が個別に露出するメッキ用配線12,14(16)を含む領域に前記同様の導電性ペーストをスクリーン印刷して、側面視が矩形状の電極用メタライズ層19を形成した。該メタライズ層19には、メッキ用配線12,14(16)の一端部がぞれそれ個別に接続されている。
引き続いて、基板本体2aにおける一対の長辺の側面5ごとに、上記同様の導電性ペーストをスクリーン印刷して、複数の外部接続端子17を形成すると共に、これらを含むセラミック積層体を加熱炉に挿入して、上記メタライズ層19および外部接続端子17を硬化処理した。
次に、上記電極用メタライズ層19や、複数の外部接続端子17ごとに接合されたリード18の下端側を接続する外枠部に対し、図示しないメッキ用電極ピンを個別に接触させた状態で、当該セラミック積層体を電解Niメッキ槽および電解Auメッキ槽に順次浸漬した。その結果、前記素子実装用パッド9,9a、封止用メタライズ層10、および外部接続端子17の表面(露出面)にNiメッキ膜およびAuメッキ膜が所要の厚みで順次被覆された。尚、上記外部接続端子17の場合は、予め単独でNiメッキ膜のみを被覆した後、前記リード18の上端部を個別にロウ付けにより接合した後、該リード18を含む外部接続端子17の表面に対し、Niメッキ膜およびAuメッキ膜を被覆した。
Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and 6 (B), in each of the pair of short side surfaces 5 in the substrate main body 2a, in an area including the plating wirings 12 and 14 (16) in which one end surfaces are individually exposed. The same conductive paste as described above was screen-printed to form an electrode metallization layer 19 having a rectangular side view. One end portions of the plating wirings 12 and 14 (16) are individually connected to the metallized layer 19 respectively.
Subsequently, the same conductive paste as described above is screen-printed on each of the pair of long side surfaces 5 in the substrate body 2a to form a plurality of external connection terminals 17, and the ceramic laminate including these is used in a heating furnace. The metallized layer 19 and the external connection terminal 17 were cured by being inserted.
Next, with the electrode metallization layer 19 and the outer frame part connecting the lower ends of the leads 18 joined to each of the plurality of external connection terminals 17, plating electrode pins (not shown) are in contact with each other. The ceramic laminate was sequentially immersed in an electrolytic Ni plating tank and an electrolytic Au plating tank. As a result, the Ni mounting film and the Au plating film were sequentially coated with the required thickness on the surfaces (exposed surfaces) of the element mounting pads 9, 9a, the sealing metallization layer 10, and the external connection terminals 17. In the case of the external connection terminal 17, the surface of the external connection terminal 17 including the lead 18 is coated with the Ni plating film alone in advance, and the upper ends of the leads 18 are individually joined by brazing. On the other hand, a Ni plating film and an Au plating film were coated.

その後、前記電極用メタライズ層19を含む各短辺の側面5における裏面4側の領域に対し、軸方向が該側面5と裏面4との間に跨がるようにマイクログラインダよる研磨作業を、当該電極用メタライズ層19が除去されるまで行った。
その結果、図7(A),(B)に示すように、短辺の各側面5における水平方向の中央部付近で、且つ側面視において裏面4側から表面3側に向かって円弧形状に盛り上がり、且つ該裏面4の中央側に円弧形状に進入する凹部11が形成されると共に、その内壁面11fにメッキ用配線12,14(16)の一端面が露出している前記配線基板1aを得ることができた。
尚、前記研磨工程は、炭酸ガスなどの各種のレーザ光を照射して行われるレーザ加工により行っても良い。
また、以上の各工程は、多数個取りの形態により行っても良く、その場合、基板保体2aにおいて隣接する長辺と短辺と側面5,5間ごとには、湾曲した前記側面5rが形成される。
Thereafter, for the region on the back surface 4 side in the side surface 5 of each short side including the electrode metallization layer 19, a polishing operation by a micro grinder so that the axial direction spans between the side surface 5 and the back surface 4, This was performed until the electrode metallization layer 19 was removed.
As a result, as shown in FIGS. 7 (A) and 7 (B), it swells in an arc shape in the vicinity of the horizontal center of each side surface 5 on the short side and from the back surface 4 side to the front surface 3 side in a side view. In addition, the concave portion 11 that enters the arc shape is formed in the center side of the back surface 4, and the wiring substrate 1 a in which one end face of the plating wirings 12 and 14 (16) is exposed on the inner wall surface 11 f is obtained. I was able to.
In addition, you may perform the said grinding | polishing process by the laser processing performed by irradiating various laser beams, such as a carbon dioxide gas.
Each of the above steps may be performed in a multi-cavity form. In that case, the curved side surface 5r is provided between the adjacent long side, short side, and side surfaces 5 and 5 in the substrate carrier 2a. It is formed.

前記のような配線基板1aによれば、表面導体部である前記素子実装用パッド9aや封止用メタライズ層10は、前記凹部11の内壁面11fに一端面が互いに離れて露出する複数のメッキ用配線12,14(16)のうちの1個と電気的に接続されており、且つダミー用のパッド9aや封止用メタライズ層10は、前記複数の外部接続端子17の何れとも電気的に接続されていない。
即ち、上記封止用メタライズ層10は、予め、前記凹部11が形成される前の平坦な側面5に配置された電極用メタライズ層19を介して、電解NiおよびAuメッキをその表面に施され、同時に同じ電極用メタライズ層19を介して電解NiおよびAuメッキを前記素子実装用パッド9,9aの表面に施された後、上記電極用メタライズ層19を含む上記側面5の裏面4側を少ない研磨量により除去して凹部11を形成することで、該凹部11の内壁面11fに複数のメッキ用配線12,14(16)の一端面が互いに離れて露出し、且つかかる複数のメッキ用配線12,14(16)同士間は、電気的独立したものとされている。
そのため、使用時には、電流が流れない前記封止用メタライズ層10や一部の素子実装用パッド(ダミー用のパッド)9aの表面にも確実にNiおよびAuメッキ膜が被覆された配線基板1aとなっている。
According to the wiring substrate 1a as described above, the element mounting pad 9a and the sealing metallized layer 10 which are surface conductor portions are a plurality of platings whose one end surfaces are exposed apart from each other on the inner wall surface 11f of the recess 11. One of the wirings 12 and 14 (16) for electrical connection, and the dummy pad 9a and the sealing metallization layer 10 are electrically connected to any of the plurality of external connection terminals 17. Not connected.
That is, the sealing metallized layer 10 is subjected to electrolytic Ni and Au plating on the surface in advance through the electrode metallized layer 19 disposed on the flat side surface 5 before the recess 11 is formed. At the same time, after electrolytic Ni and Au plating are applied to the surface of the element mounting pads 9 and 9a through the same electrode metallization layer 19, the back surface 4 side of the side surface 5 including the electrode metallization layer 19 is reduced. By removing the polishing amount to form the recess 11, one end surfaces of the plurality of plating wirings 12 and 14 (16) are exposed away from each other on the inner wall surface 11 f of the recess 11, and the plurality of plating wirings are provided. 12, 14 (16) is electrically independent.
For this reason, when used, the wiring substrate 1a in which the surfaces of the sealing metallized layer 10 and a part of the element mounting pads (dummy pads) 9a, in which no current flows, are reliably coated with Ni and Au plating films, It has become.

更に、同じ凹部11の内壁面11fにおいて露出する複数のメッキ用配線(一端面)12,14(16)同士の間隔a,bを、ある程度以上の距離になるよう設定することで、上記メッキ用配線12,14(16)間の短絡を確実に防止できる。
加えて、前記凹部11は、基板本体2における短辺の側面5の厚み方向における任意の中間位置から該側面5の裏面4側に向かって幅が広くなるように形成されているので、製造時における工数、研磨量、および研磨時間を低減でき且つ低コスト化にも繋がる。しかも、前記凹部11は、基板本体2の表面3には露出せず、側面5の中間位置から裏面4側にかけて形成され、該側面5に隣接する上記表面3の周辺部が除去されないので、該表面3に形成される各種の導体や、隣接する側面5同士間のコーナ部の表面3と裏面4との間に形成される凹部形導体を当初の形態で確実に配設することができる。
Furthermore, by setting the distances a and b between the plurality of plating wirings (one end surfaces) 12 and 14 (16) exposed on the inner wall surface 11f of the same recess 11 so as to be a certain distance or more, A short circuit between the wirings 12 and 14 (16) can be reliably prevented.
In addition, the concave portion 11 is formed so that the width increases from an arbitrary intermediate position in the thickness direction of the side surface 5 of the short side in the substrate body 2 toward the back surface 4 side of the side surface 5. The number of steps, polishing amount, and polishing time can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. Moreover, the concave portion 11 is not exposed on the front surface 3 of the substrate body 2 and is formed from the intermediate position of the side surface 5 to the back surface 4 side, and the peripheral portion of the front surface 3 adjacent to the side surface 5 is not removed. Various conductors formed on the front surface 3 and recessed conductors formed between the front surface 3 and the back surface 4 of the corner portion between the adjacent side surfaces 5 can be reliably disposed in the initial form.

従って、使用時には、電流が流れない前記封止用メタライズ層10やダミー用のパッド9aの表面導体部の表面にも確実に金属(NiおよびAu)メッキ膜が被覆された配線基板1aを提供することができる。
尚、前記凹部11は、前記四辺の側面5の何れか1箇所にのみ形成しても良い。このうち、長辺の側面5に形成する場合には、該側面5に形成される複数の外部接続端子17同士の間に形成しても良い。
また、前記複数の素子実装用パッド9の上方には、追って半導体素子などの電子部品が実装され、その後、前記封止用メタライズ層10の上に四辺が載置されるコバール製などの金属板がシーム溶接(抵抗溶接)などよって接合される。
更に、複数の前記外部接続端子17は、基板本体2aの裏面4に形成されていても良い。
Therefore, in use, the wiring substrate 1a is provided in which the metal (Ni and Au) plating film is reliably coated on the surface of the surface conductor portion of the sealing metallized layer 10 and the dummy pad 9a where current does not flow. be able to.
The concave portion 11 may be formed only at any one of the side surfaces 5 of the four sides. Among these, when forming on the long side surface 5, it may be formed between the plurality of external connection terminals 17 formed on the side surface 5.
Further, a metal plate made of Kovar or the like on which electronic parts such as semiconductor elements are mounted later on the plurality of element mounting pads 9 and then four sides are placed on the metallization layer 10 for sealing.
