Printed circuit board capable of void control during surface mounting process

Abstract

Example embodiments of the present invention include a printed circuit board (PCB) capable of controlling the size and position of voids during a surface mounting process. To this end, the PCB includes: an insulating plate made of an insulating material; printed circuit patterns formed on the insulating plate; a plurality of lands to support a plurality of solder joints, each land coupled to one end of each of the printed circuit patterns; and anti-wetting layers mounted on a surface of each of the lands for solder joint therein. The anti-wetting layers allow a void produced during a surface mounting process to move to a central surface on a pad, so that the solder joint reliability between the solder ball and the land is increased. As a result, the reliability of a semiconductor device is enhanced.
