The present disclosure relates to a mounting board.
JP2002-118208A describes a method of reinforcing connection of a semiconductor component to a board using a sidefill for applying a resin to a periphery of the semiconductor component, instead of an underfill for applying a resin to a gap between a surface of the board and a lower surface of the semiconductor component, in order to flip-chip mount the semiconductor component on the board.
In a case where a sidefill for applying a resin to a periphery of an electronic component is applied, a space of the gap between the surface of the board and the lower surface of the electronic component is sealed by the resin used for the sidefill. Therefore, for example, when heating is performed to cure the resin of the sidefill, air or moisture in the sealed space may expand to form a hole in the resin of the sidefill.
The present disclosure provides a mounting board which can avoid an opening of a hole in a resin used for a sidefill on the mounting board.
According to an illustrative aspect of the present disclosure, a mounting board includes: a printed board; an electronic component surface-mounted on the printed board; and a resin for a sidefill applied to an outer periphery of the electronic component. At least one of the printed board and the electronic component includes a through-hole connected to a space defined by the printed board, the electronic component, and the resin for the sidefill.
According to the present disclosure, it is possible to avoid an opening of a hole in a resin used for the sidefill on the mounting board.
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as appropriate. However, more detailed description than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed description of already well-known matters and redundant description of substantially the same configuration may be omitted. This is to avoid unnecessary redundancy of the following description and to facilitate understanding of those skilled in the art. The accompanying drawings and the following description are provided for those skilled in the art to sufficiently understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in claims.
For convenience of description, in the present embodiment, as shown in
The plan view (plane view) shown in
The mounting board 1 includes the printed board 3 and the electronic component 2 that is surface-mounted on the printed board 3. Examples of the electronic component 2 include a QFN 2A (see
When the mounting board 1 is manufactured, the electronic component 2 is joined to the printed board 3 by solder. However, as in the case of a vehicle (for example, an automobile, a motorcycle, a tractor, a ship, an aircraft, a railway, or a bicycle), the mounting board 1 used in an environment in which vibrations and/or temperature changes are severe may cause a crack or the like in a solder (hereinafter, referred to as a solder joint 7) that joins the electronic component 2 to the printed board 3.
Therefore, when the mounting board 1 is manufactured, a technique called sidefill is used in which a resin having a relatively high viscosity (hereinafter, referred to as a reinforcing resin 4) is applied to a periphery of the electronic component 2 and heated to cure the reinforcing resin 4, thereby more firmly fixing the electronic component 2 to the printed board 3. By applying the sidefill, the electronic component 2 can be more firmly fixed to the printed board 3 as described above. In addition, by applying the sidefill, a space of a gap between an upper surface of the printed board 3 and a lower surface of the electronic component 2 is sealed, thereby improving security performance and tamper resistance. In the following description, a space of a gap formed by the electronic component 2, the printed board 3, and the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill is referred to as an under-component space 5.
In the sidefill, heating of about 100° C. to 150° C. is performed to cure the reinforcing resin 4, and at this time, air and moisture sealed in the under-component space 5 may expand to form a hole in a portion of the reinforcing resin 4. In addition, when the air and moisture in the under-component space 5 expand and break and eject the reinforcing resin 4, flux residues contained in the reinforcing resin 4 may diffuse on the printed board 3. The flux residues cause poor quality of the mounting board 1.
In the mounting board 1 mounted on a vehicle or the like, the air and moisture in the under-component space 5 repeatedly expand and contract due to a temperature change caused by heat generation during an operation of the electronic component 2. The expansion and contraction of the air in the under-component space 5 damage the solder joint 7.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, a configuration of the mounting board 1 for avoiding an opening of a hole in the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill will be described.
As shown in
Accordingly, the air and moisture in the under-component space 5 can enter and exit through the through-hole 6, and even if the air and moisture in the under-component space 5 expand due to heating, no hole is formed in the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill. Hereinafter, the through-hole 6 provided in the printed board 3 may be referred to as a board through-hole 6A, and the through-hole 6 provided in the electronic component 2 may be referred to as a component through-hole 6B. A diameter of the through-hole 6 may be 0.3 mm or more. Alternatively, the diameter of the through-hole 6 may be smaller than 0.3 mm. A diameter of the board through-hole 6A and a diameter of the component through-hole 6B may be the same or different from each other.
The through-hole 6 may be provided at a position different from a position where the solder joint 7 exists (that is, avoiding the solder joint 7). Accordingly, for example, it is possible to prevent the solder melted by reflow from blocking the through-hole 6.
The through-hole 6 may be provided at a position inside a region where the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill enters the under-component space 5. For example, when the electronic component 2 is a BGA 2B, a CSP, or a LGA, the through-hole 6 may be provided inside connection terminals 22 (for example, solder balls 23) existing at an outermost periphery of the electronic component 2. For example, when the electronic component 2 is a QFN 2A, the through-hole 6 may be provided inside the connection terminals 22 existing at the outer periphery of the electronic component 2. Since the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill has a viscosity higher than that of a resin used for an underfill, the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill does not enter the under-component space 5 much as compared with the reinforcing resin 4 used for the underfill. Accordingly, the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill entering the under-component space 5 does not reach the through-hole 6 provided at the above-described position, and does not block the through-hole 6.
A plurality of through-holes 6 may be provided. Accordingly, even if one through-hole 6 is temporarily closed by the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill, air and moisture in the under-component space 5 can enter and exit through the other non-closed through-holes 6.
The solder resist on the printed board 3 may not be provided on the board through-hole 6A. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the solder resist from blocking the board through-hole 6A.
An inner surface of the board through-hole 6A may be plated. Accordingly, the flux residues are easily discharged through the through-hole 6. Alternatively, the inner surface of the board through-hole 6A may not be plated. Accordingly, the solder can be prevented from adhering to an inner surface of the through-hole 6.
Next, several examples in which the through-hole 6 is provided in the mounting board 1 will be described.
As shown in
The board through-hole 6A may be provided in a region (hereinafter, referred to as a non-land region) R1 between the GND land 31 and the land 32.
Two board through-holes 6A may be provided with the GND land 31 interposed therebetween. For example, as shown in
Accordingly, the two board through-holes 6A are disposed sufficiently apart from each other, so that both the two board through-holes 6A can be prevented from being blocked by the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill. The number of the board through-holes 6A is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more.
Two board through-holes 6A may be provided in the non-land region R1 of the printed board 3 with the GND land 31 interposed therebetween. For example, two board through-holes 6A may be provided at positions on a first line L1 passing through a center point P of the GND land 31 and orthogonal to one side of the GND land 31 with the GND land 31 interposed therebetween. The number of the board through-holes 6A is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more.
Two component through-holes 6B may be provided across the GND terminal 21 in a region (hereinafter referred to as a non-contact region Q1) Q1 of the QFN 2A facing the non-land region R1. For example, two component through-holes 6B may be provided at positions on a second line L2 passing through a center point P of the GND terminal 21 and orthogonal to the first line L1 with the GND terminal 21 interposed therebetween. The number of component through-holes 6B is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more.
Accordingly, since the two board through-holes 6A and the two component through-holes 6B are disposed sufficiently apart from each other, so that all of the two board through-holes 6A and the two component through-holes 6B can be prevented from being blocked by the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill.
When the non-land region R1 is narrow as shown in
Accordingly, four board through-holes 6A are disposed sufficiently apart from each other, so that all of the four board through-holes 6A can be prevented from being blocked by the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill.
When the non-contact region Q1 between the GND terminal 21 and the connection terminals 22 of the QFN 2A is narrow, as shown in
At this time, as shown in
When the non-contact region Q1 between the GND terminal 21 and the connection terminals 22 of the QFN 2A is narrow, a part of the GND land 31 and the GND terminal 21 may be cut, and the board through-holes 6A and/or the component through-holes 6B may be provided in regions 42 that are cut (hereinafter, referred to as cut regions). For example, as shown in
When the non-contact region Q1 between the GND terminal 21 and the connection terminal 22 of the QFN 2A is narrow, as shown in
For example, as shown in
At this time, as shown in
As shown in
As shown in
For example, as shown in
The board through-hole 6A may be provided in the non-land region R1. For example, as shown in
Two board through-holes 6A may be provided at positions of opposing corners of the non-land region R1 of the printed board 3. Two component through-holes 6B may be provided at positions of opposing corners of the non-contact region Q1 of the BGA 2B.
The board through-hole 6A and the component through-hole 6B may be provided at different positions. That is, the board through-hole 6A and the component through-hole 6B may be provided so as not to be aligned on a straight line in a Z-axis direction. For example, as shown in
As shown in
Two board through-holes 6A may be provided in the vicinity of opposing corners of the non-land region R1. Two component through-holes 6B may be provided in the vicinity of opposing corners of the non-contact region Q1.
The board through-hole 6A and the component through-hole 6B may be provided at different positions. That is, the board through-hole 6A and the component through-hole 6B may be provided so as not to be aligned on a straight line in a Z-axis direction. For example, as shown in
The board through-hole 6A may be provided such that a distance d1 between the board through-hole 6A and the outer periphery of the BGA 2B is longer than a distance d2 between a lower surface of the BGA 2B and the upper surface of the printed board 3 (that is, such that the board through-hole 6A is located inside). Accordingly, the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill that has entered the under-component space 5 does not reach the board through-hole 6A. Thus, the board through-hole 6A can be prevented from being blocked by the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
The board through-hole 6A and the component through-hole 6B may be provided at different positions. That is, the board through-hole 6A and the component through-hole 6B may be provided so as not to be aligned on a straight line in a Z-axis direction. For example, two board through-holes 6A and two component through-holes 6B may be provided such that a seventh line L7 connecting the two board through-holes 6A and an eighth line L8 connecting the two component through-holes 6B intersect with each other. Accordingly, the board through-holes 6A and the component through-holes 6B can be prevented from being blocked by the reinforcing resin 4 used for the sidefill. The number of the board through-holes 6A is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more. The number of component through-holes 6B is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more.
When the non-contact region Q1 between the GND terminal 21 and the connection terminal 22 of the QFN 2A is narrow, as shown in
In addition, the board through-holes 6A may be provided in the vicinity of the corners of the QFN 2A. Accordingly, even when the heated reinforcing resin 4 is fluidized and slightly flows, the fluidized reinforcing resin 4 flows down through the board through-hole 6A, so that it is possible to prevent the board through-holes 6A from being blocked by the reinforcing resin 4. At least one corner of the corners of the QFN 2A may be C-chamfered. In addition, at least one corner of the corners of the QFN 2A may have a quarter-circular hole shape.
Contents of the present disclosure can be expressed as the following appendixes.
In the mounting board 1 in which the electronic component 2 is mounted on the printed board 3, the electronic component 2 is surface-mounted on the printed board 3, the resin 4 used for the sidefill is applied to an outer periphery of the electronic component 2, and at least one of the printed board 3 and the electronic component 2 is provided with the through-hole 6 connected to a space (that is, the under-component space 5) formed by the printed board 3, the electronic component 2, and the resin 4 used for the sidefill.
Accordingly, the air and moisture in the under-component space 5 expanded by the heating are output to the outside through the through-hole 6, so that the opening of the hole in the resin 4 used for the sidefill can be avoided.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 1, the through-hole 6 is provided inside the outer periphery of the electronic component 2 by a predetermined distance or more. Accordingly, even when the resin 4 used for the sidefill enters the space 5 of a gap between the electronic component 2 and the printed board, the resin 4 used for the sidefill does not reach the through-hole 6. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the through-hole 6 from being blocked by the resin 4 used for the sidefill.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 1 or 2, the through-hole 6 is provided in each of the printed board 3 and the electronic component 2.
Accordingly, it is possible to prevent all the through-holes 6 from being blocked.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 3, the through-hole 6 of the printed board 3 (that is, the board through-hole 6A) and the through-hole 6 of the electronic component 2 (that is, the component through-hole 6B) are provided at different positions in a plane view.
Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the board through-hole 6A and the component through-hole 6B from being blocked simultaneously.
In the mounting board 1 according to any one of Appendixes 1 to 4, the electronic component 2 is a quad flat non-leaded package (QFN) 2A, and the through-hole 6A of the printed board 3 is provided to avoid the GND land 31 of the QFN 2A.
Accordingly, the board through-hole 6A is connected to the under-component space without being hindered by the GND land 31.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 5, at least two through-holes 6A of the printed board 3 are provided with the GND land 31 interposed therebetween.
Accordingly, at least two board through-holes 6A are disposed sufficiently apart from each other, so that both the two board through-holes 6A can be prevented from being blocked by the resin 4 used for the sidefill.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 5, the through-holes 6A of the printed board 3 are provided between a plurality of divided GND lands 43 obtained by dividing the GND land 31.
Accordingly, even when the non-contact region Q1 between the GND terminal 21 and the connection terminal 22 of the QFN 2A is narrow, the board through-hole 6A can also be provided.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 5, a size of the GND land 31 is smaller than a size of the GND terminal 21 of the QFN 2A joined to the GND land 31 by solder (for example, the solder joint 7).
Accordingly, since the non-land region R1 in which the GND land 31 does not exist is enlarged by reducing the size of the GND land 31, the board through-hole 6A can be provided only when the non-contact region Q1 between the GND terminal 21 and the connection terminal 22 of the QFN 2A is narrow.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 8, an outer periphery of the solder (for example, the solder joint 7) that joins the GND land 31 to the GND terminal 21 is surrounded with the resin 41.
By providing the resin 41, it is possible to prevent the board through-hole 6A from being blocked by the flux residues of the solder (for example, the solder joint 7) that joins the GND land 31 to the GND terminal 21. In addition, by providing the resin 41, the QFN 2A is prevented from sinking in a direction approaching the printed board 3, so that it is possible to prevent the board through-hole 6A from being blocked by the sink of the QFN 2A.
In the mounting board 1 according to any one of Appendixes 1 to 4, the electronic component 2 is the ball grid array (BGA) 2B, and the through-hole 6A of the printed board 3 is provided to avoid a plurality of solder balls 23 disposed in the BGA 2B.
Accordingly, the board through-hole 6A is connected to the under-component space without being hindered by the solder ball 23.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 10, the solder ball 23 is not provided at a position of a center of the die 44 disposed on the BGA 2B, and the through-hole 6A of the printed board 3 is provided at a position of the center of the die 44 where no solder ball 23 is provided.
Accordingly, the board through-hole 6A can be provided while reducing an influence on the BGA 2B.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 10, the solder ball 23 is not provided at a position of a corner of the die 44 disposed in the BGA 2B outside the die 44, and the through-hole 6A of the printed board 3 is provided at a position of the corner of the die 44 outside the die 44 where no solder ball 23 is provided.
Accordingly, the board through-hole 6A can be provided while reducing an influence on the BGA 2B.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 12, at least two through-holes 6A of the printed board 3 are provided with the die 44 interposed therebetween.
Accordingly, at least two board through-holes 6A are disposed sufficiently apart from each other, so that both the two board through-holes 6A can be prevented from being blocked by the resin 4 used for the sidefill.
In the mounting board 1 according to Appendix 10, the distance d1 between the through-hole 6A of the printed board 3 and an outer periphery of the BGA 2B is longer than a distance d2 between a lower surface of the BGA 2B and an upper surface of the printed board 3.
Accordingly, the resin 4 used for the sidefill that has entered the under-component space 5 does not reach the board through-hole 6A. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the board through-hole 6A from being blocked by the resin 4 used for the sidefill.

It is apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications, corrections, substitutions, additions, deletions, and equivalents can be conceived within the scope described in the claims, and it is understood that such modifications, corrections, substitutions, additions, deletions, and equivalents also fall within the technical scope of the present disclosure. In addition, constituent elements in the embodiment described above may be freely combined without departing from the gist of the invention.
The technique of the present disclosure is useful for a mounting board reinforced by a resin used for the sidefill.
