The fifth embodiment is described with reference to
The substrate 50 also includes back side vias 361 and 362 formed to connect the circuit pattern 66 of the sixth layer L26 and the circuit pattern 65 of the fifth layer L25. The back side vias 361 and 362 are laser vias, and the insides of the vias 361 and 362 are filled with a conductive material (i.e., conductor) such as copper. The second surface 502 sides of the vias 361 and 362 are covered with the surface resist layer 68. In the present embodiment, the back side vias 361 and 362 are aligned with the front side vias 351 and 352 and disposed immediately below the middle layer vias 357 and 358, as shown in
In the present embodiment, the middle layer via 357 is formed immediately below the inner front side via 351, and the middle layer via 358 is formed immediately below the outer front side via 352. Such a configuration better facilitates heat dissipation to the second surface 502.
