Abstract
A printed-circuit board of the present invention, comprises a circuit substrate 1; a plurality of patterned wires 3 formed on a surface of said circuit substrate 1; a plurality of lands 2, each land 2 connected to at least one of said patterned wires 3 through an end portion 3a thereof; and a protection layer 6 with a plurality of openings 7, covering the surface of said circuit substrate 1, wherein said land 2 and said end portion 3a connected thereto are exposed in the associated opening 7 of said protection layer 6.
Claims4
A printed-circuit board, comprising:
- a circuit substrate;
- a plurality of patterned wires formed on a surface of said circuit substrate;
- a plurality of lands, each land connected to at least one of said patterned wires through an end portion thereof;
- and
- a protection layer with a plurality of openings, covering the surface of said circuit substrate, wherein
- each of said plurality of openings in said protection layer exposes a corresponding land and is substantially larger than said corresponding land so as to be spaced away from the entire periphery of said corresponding land and expose the end portion of the patterned wire connected to said corresponding land and a peripheral portion on the periphery of said corresponding land, and
- at least one end portion exposed by a corresponding opening in said protection layer is located beneath a semiconductor integrated circuit to be connected with said circuit substrate.
