Abstract
The present invention relates to a substrate comprising a build-up and a solder resist layer disposed on the build-up. The solder resist layer has an upper surface facing away from the build-up. The solder resist layer has a plurality of grooves on its upper surface. The grooves of the solder resist layer can better eliminate or relieve the stress accumulated on large solder resist area induced by heat and/or material coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch of the substrate and thus can prevent and diminish warpage of the substrate or package.
Claims4
A substrate, comprising:
- a build-up layer;
- and
- a solder resist layer disposed on the build-up layer and extending a width between opposing first edges in a first direction and a length between opposing second edges in a second direction different from the first direction, each of the opposing first and second edges extending from a top to a bottom of the solder resist layer, the solder resist layer comprising:
- an upper surface facing away from the build-up layer, and
- a plurality of grooves disposed on the upper surface of the solder resist layer,
- wherein the upper surface of the solder resist layer includes a plurality of upper surface portions, each upper surface portion extending in the first direction between two adjacent grooves of the plurality of grooves and at least two upper surface portions extending continuously in the second direction from one opposing second edge to another opposing second edge, each upper surface portion extending a first distance between the two adjacent grooves in the first direction, the first distance being less than:
- (i) a second distance that a first adjacent groove of the two adjacent grooves extends in the first direction;
- and (ii) a third distance that a second adjacent groove of the two adjacent grooves extends in the first direction.
