However, in the conventional high frequency module, a process of forming a shield wall by laser machining or the like, the multilayer wiring substrate may be damaged. In addition, a process of forming other components must be provided separately.
Therefore, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to provide a double-sided mount electronic component module capable of being obtained in a simple process and having high isolation between components.

The first insulating resin includes a first depression exposing the first conductive member from the first insulating resin, at a portion overlapping with the first conductive member. The first shield film is provided in the first depression of the first insulating resin and is connected to the first conductive member.
With this configuration, isolation between the first electronic component and the second electronic component is obtained by the first conductive member mounted similarly to the substrate on which the first electronic component and the second electronic component are mounted. Then, the first conductive member, simultaneously with the first electronic component and the second electronic component, is able to be mounted on the substrate. Furthermore, the first shield film is provided in the depression provided in an insulating resin near the first main surface, so that the first conductive member and the first shield film for grounding are connected to each other. As a result, the configuration capable of obtaining high isolation is achieved by a simple process.
According to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a double-sided mount electronic component module with high isolation between components is able to be provided by a simple process.
An electronic component module according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to drawings.

The plurality of external connection land conductors 291 and the plurality of ground land conductors 292 are arranged along an outer peripheral end in the vicinity of the outer peripheral end on the first main surface 201 of the substrate 20. It is to be noted that the plurality of external connection land conductors 291 and the plurality of ground land conductors 292 need not necessarily be arranged along the outer peripheral end of the substrate.
The mount electronic component 41 and the mount electronic component 42 are electronic components using a semiconductor or a piezoelectric body, for example. The mount electronic component 41 is an electronic component that easily generates noise such as high harmonic, for example. For example, the mount electronic component 42 corresponds to a “first electronic component” of the present disclosure, and the mount electronic component 41 corresponds to a “third electronic component” of the present disclosure.
The mount electronic component 431 and the mount electronic component 432 are, for example, chip capacitor elements, chip inductor elements, chip resistance elements, or the like. For example, the mount electronic component 432 corresponds to a “second electronic component” of the present disclosure, and the mount electronic component 431 corresponds to a “fourth electronic component” of the present disclosure. It is to be noted that the mount electronic component 431 and the mount electronic component 432 may be electronic components that generate noise.
The second conductive member 401 and the first conductive member 402 is made of chip-shaped (rectangular parallelepiped shaped, for example) metal. The metal is copper (Cu), for example. It is to be noted that the second conductive member 401 and the first conductive member 402 may be mainly metal and may include an insulating resist film at a location other than a terminal portion, as an exterior.
The mount electronic component 41 is bonded (mounted) to the land conductor 211 by using solder or the like. The mount electronic component 431 is bonded (mounted) to the land conductor 212 by using solder or the like. The second conductive member 401 is bonded (mounted) to the land conductor 213 by using solder or the like. As a result, the second conductive member 401 is disposed between the mount electronic component 41 and the mount electronic component 431.
The second conductive member 401 made of metal as described above receives noises such as high harmonic. Therefore, such a configuration is able to reduce electromagnetic interference between the mount electronic component 41 and the mount electronic component 431 and ensure isolation between the mount electronic component 41 and the mount electronic component 431.
The mount electronic component 42 is bonded (mounted) to the land conductor 221 by using solder or the like.

As a result, the first conductive member 402 is disposed between the mount electronic component 42 and the mount electronic component 432.
The first conductive member 402 made of metal as described above receives noises such as high harmonic. Therefore, such a configuration is able to reduce electromagnetic interference between the mount electronic component 42 and the mount electronic component 432 and ensure isolation between the mount electronic component 42 and the mount electronic component 432.
The plurality of external connection terminal conductors 610 and the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620 are columnar conductors made of metal such as copper. The plurality of external connection terminal conductors 610 are bonded (mounted) to the plurality of external connection land conductors 291 by using solder or the like. The plurality of ground terminal conductors 620 are bonded (mounted) to the plurality of ground land conductors 292 by using solder or the like. It is to be noted that the plurality of external connection terminal conductors 610 and the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620 may be projecting electrodes formed by plating or the like, metal pins, via conductors, or the like.
The plurality of solder bumps 61 are provided at a tip (an end opposite to an end to be connected to the plurality of external connection land conductors 291) of the plurality of external connection terminal conductors 610. The plurality of solder bumps 62 are provided at a tip (one end opposite to the other end to be connected to the plurality of ground land conductors 292) of the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620.
The electronic component module 10 is mounted to a different circuit board by using the solder bumps 61. In other words, in the electronic component module 10, the first main surface 201 of the substrate 20 is a mounting side to the different circuit board. In addition, the electronic component module 10 is connected to an external ground by using the solder bumps 62. In other words, the electronic component module 10 is grounded through the solder bumps 62.
The insulating resin 51 covers a side of the second main surface 202 of the substrate 20. The insulating resin 51 corresponds to the “second insulating resin” of the present disclosure. The insulating resin 51 covers an entire surface of the mount electronic component 41 and the mount electronic component 431. It is to be noted that the insulating resin 51 may be shaped so as to expose the top surface of the mount electronic component 41.
In addition, the insulating resin 51 covers the mounting surface and side surface of the second conductive member 401. In other words, the insulating resin 51 is provided so as to expose the top surface 411 (a surface opposite to a mounting surface) of the second conductive member 401 from the insulating resin 51. More specifically, the insulating resin 51 includes a depression in a region that overlaps with the second conductive member 401. The bottom surface of this depression is provided by the top surface 411 (the surface opposite to the mounting surface) of the second conductive member 401.
The insulating resin 52 covers a side of the first main surface 201 of the substrate 20. The insulating resin 52 corresponds to the “first insulating resin” of the present disclosure. The insulating resin 52 covers an entire surface of the mount electronic component 42 and the mount electronic component 432. It is to be noted that the insulating resin 52 may be shaped so as to expose the top surface of the mount electronic component 42.
In addition, the insulating resin 52 covers the mounting surface and side surface of the first conductive member 402. In other words, the insulating resin 52 is provided so as to expose the top surface 412 (a surface opposite to a mounting surface) of the first conductive member 402 from the insulating resin 52. More specifically, the insulating resin 52 includes a depression in a region that overlaps with the first conductive member 402. The bottom surface of this depression is provided by the top surface 412 (the surface opposite to the mounting surface) of the first conductive member 402.
The insulating resin 51 and the insulating resin 52 are able to protect the mount electronic component 41, the mount electronic component 42, the mount electronic component 431, the mount electronic component 432, and various conductor patterns provided on the first main surface 201 and the second main surface 202 of the substrate 20, from the external environment.
The shield film 71 and the shield film 72 are conductive films. The shield film 71 corresponds to a “second shield film” of the present disclosure, and the shield film 72 corresponds to a “first shield film” of the present disclosure.
The shield film 71 covers an entire outer surface of the insulating resin 51, an entire side surface of the substrate 20, and an entire side surface of the insulating resin 52. In such a case, the shield film 71 is connected to the ground conductor pattern 30 exposed to the side surface of the substrate 20.
In addition, the shield film 71 covers the top surface 411 of the second conductive member 401. Accordingly, the shield film 71 and the second conductive member 401 are connected and then electrically connected to each other.
The shield film 72 partially covers a surface (hereafter referred to as a mounting surface) of the insulating resin 52, the surface being opposite to a surface in contact with the first main surface 201 of the substrate 20. More specifically, as shown in
In addition, the shield film 72 is electrically connected to the shield film 71 on the side surface of the substrate 20. Specifically, a portion including the exposure region of the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620 in the shield film 72 is shaped to extend to a side end of the mounting surface. A tip portion of such an extended shape is connected to the shield film 71 provided on the side surface of the insulating resin 52.
In such a manner, the shield film 71 and the shield film are able to significantly reduce or prevent unnecessary coupling and interference between the mount electronic component 41, the mount electronic component 42, the mount electronic component 431, the mount electronic component 432, and an electrical configuration provided in the substrate 20 and the external environment.
In addition, the shield film 72 includes an opening in a center of the exposure region of the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620. This opening is a hole passing through the shield film 72 in the thickness direction, and thus the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620 are exposed to outside near the mounting surface when no solder bumps 62 are provided. The solder bumps 62 are provided so as to fill this opening. As a result, the shield film 72 and the ground terminal conductors 620 are more securely and physically bonded and electrically connected to each other.
With such a structure, the shield film 72 is more securely connected to an external ground potential through the ground terminal conductors 620. The shield film 72 is electrically connected to the shield film 71, which enables the electronic component module 10 to more effectively reduce the unnecessary coupling and interference with the external environment.
In addition, with an above configuration, the first conductive member 402 is electrically connected to the shield film 72 through the depression 702. Similarly, the second conductive member 401 is electrically connected to the shield film 71 through a depression 701. Accordingly, the first conductive member 402 and the second conductive member 401 are connected to a ground potential. As a result, the effect of reducing electromagnetic interference by the first conductive member 402 is further increased. Similarly, the effect of reducing electromagnetic interference by the second conductive member 401 is further increased.
Moreover, the first conductive member 402 and the shield film 72 are in surface contact with the bottom portion of the depression 702, so that the reliability of connection between the first conductive member 402 and the shield film 72 is improved, and the connection resistance is also reduced. Similarly, the second conductive member 401 and the shield film are in surface contact with the bottom portion of the depression 701, so that the reliability of connection between the second conductive member 401 and the shield film 71 is improved, and the connection resistance is also reduced.
In particular, the first conductive member 402 is connected to the solder bumps 62 of the ground terminal conductors 620 not only through the ground conductor pattern 30 and the ground interlayer connection conductor 31 but also through the shield film 72. As a result, the first conductive member 402 has a short distance to the ground potential, and is able to obtain more stable grounding effects. Therefore, the effect of reducing the electromagnetic interference by the first conductive member 402 is further increased and stabilized.
In addition, the first conductive member 402 is electrically connected to the shield film 72, which is able to reduce the electromagnetic interference through a side of the top surface 412 of the first conductive member 402. Similarly, the second conductive member 401 is electrically connected to the shield film 71, which is able to reduce the electromagnetic interference through a side of the top surface 411 of the second conductive member 401.
In addition, in this configuration, the first conductive member 402 is able to be mounted on the substrate 20 by the same mounting process as with the mount electronic component 42 and the mount electronic component 432. As a result, the structure that reduces the electromagnetic interference of the mount electronic component 42 and the mount electronic component 432 is able to be achieved without adding a new different process step. Then, the electrical connection between the first conductive member 402 and the shield film 72 is also able to be achieved only by the shield film 72 provided in the depression of the insulating resin 52. Therefore, the electronic component module 10 is able to be obtained by a simpler process.
Similarly, in this configuration, the second conductive member 401 is able to be mounted on the substrate 20 by the same mounting process as with the mount electronic component 41 and the mount electronic component 431. As a result, the structure that reduces the electromagnetic interference of the mount electronic component 41 and the mount electronic component 431 is able to be achieved without adding a new different process step. Then, the electrical connection between the second conductive member 401 and the shield film 71 is also able to be achieved only by the shield film 71 provided in the depression of the insulating resin 51. Therefore, the electronic component module 10 is able to be obtained by a simpler process.
In addition, in this configuration, the second conductive member 401 is able to be connected to the first conductive member 402 through the ground conductor pattern 30 and the ground interlayer connection conductor 31 in the substrate 20. As a result, a connection distance between the second conductive member 401 and the first conductive member 402 is able to be reduced, which further stabilizes the ground potential of the second conductive member 401.
Moreover, in this configuration, the ground conductor pattern 30 in the substrate 20 is connected to the shield film 71 on the side surface of the substrate 20. As a result, a connection distance between the second conductive member 401 and the first conductive member 402, and the shield film 71 on the side surface of the substrate 20 is able to be reduced.
The electronic component module 10 of such a configuration is able to be provided by the following manufacturing method.
First, as shown in
Next, as shown in

Next, the shield film 71 that also has a function as a front side shield film is formed (S18). More specifically, the shield film 71 is formed by sputtering or the like so as to cover the entire outer surface of the insulating resin 51, the entire side surface of the substrate 20, and the entire side surface of the insulating resin 52. At this time, the shield film 71 is formed so as to cover a wall surface of the depression 501. As a result, the second conductive member 401 and the shield film 71 are connected and then electrically connected to each other.
The electronic component module 10 is able to be manufactured by using the above manufacturing process steps. By using such a manufacturing method, it is possible to use the same process to mount a shield mount component and a mount electronic component and perform the same process for grinding an insulating resin and forming a depression. Therefore, as described above, the electronic component module 10 capable of reducing the electromagnetic interference between mount electronic components is able to be obtained by a simple process. It is to be noted that the manufacturing process may further include a different process step such as a step of making an individual piece or may change the order of process steps.
An electronic component module according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
The shield film 72 is disposed on a surface (a mounting surface) of the insulating resin 52, opposite to a surface in contact with the substrate 20. At this time, the outer surface of the shield film 72 is flush with the mounting surface of the insulating resin 52. In other words, the shield film 72 is disposed so as to be filled in the depression provided in the surface opposite to the insulating resin 52.
Even with such a configuration, the electronic component module 10A is able to obtain the same effects and advantages as the effects and advantages of the electronic component module 10. Furthermore, the electronic component module 10A is able to be smaller in thickness of a portion other than the solder bump smaller than the electronic component module 10.
An electronic component module according to a third exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
The shield film 72, when the insulating resin 52 is viewed in a plan view (from the rear surface), is provided in a region more inside than the region in which the plurality of external connection terminal conductors 610 and the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620 are provided. The shield film is not connected to the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620.
Even with such a configuration, the electronic component module 10B is able to obtain the same effects and advantages as the effects and advantages of the electronic component module 10. In addition, this configuration is able to separate influence on the shield film 71 from the outside from influence on the shield film 72 from the outside.
An electronic component module according to a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
The shield film 72 and the shield film 71 are separated from each other. The shield film 72 is connected to the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620.
Even with such a configuration, the electronic component module 10C is able to obtain the same effects and advantages as the effects and advantages of the electronic component module 10. In addition, this configuration, while ensuring the electrical connection between the ground terminal conductors 620 and the shield film 72, is able to separate influence on the shield film 71 from the outside from influence on the shield film 72 from the outside.
An electronic component module according to a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
Some of the plurality of ground terminal conductors 620 are electrically connected to the shield film 72, and others are not electrically connected to the shield film 72.
Even with such a configuration, the electronic component module 10C is able to obtain the same effects and advantages as the effects and advantages of the electronic component module 10. In addition, this configuration is able to increase possible patterns of connection between the ground terminal conductors 620 and the shield film 72. In other words, design flexibility in configuration of connection between the ground terminal conductors 620 and the shield film 72 is increased.
It is to be noted that, in each of the above exemplary embodiments, the number of sets of the mount electronic components that reduce the electromagnetic interference is one. However, the number of sets is not limited to one, and, for each set that reduces the electromagnetic interference, a conductive member may be mounted and connected to a shield film with a depression.
