A wiring substrate includes: a wiring structure that includes a wiring layer and an insulating layer laminated; a plurality of first posts that are formed along a periphery of a predetermined area on a surface of the wiring structure, and that protrude out from the surface of the wiring structure; and a second post that is connected to the wiring layer at a position surrounded by the first posts, and that protrudes out from the surface of the wiring structure. The first posts are formed such that a post arranged at a central portion of a side constituting the periphery of the predetermined area is lower in height from the surface of the wiring structure than posts arranged at both ends of the side.

A wiring board includes a first interconnect structure including a first interconnect layer and a first insulating layer, and a second interconnect structure, including a second interconnect layer and a second insulating layer, and disposed on the first interconnect structure. Interconnect width and spacing of the second interconnect layer are smaller than those of the first interconnect layer. The first insulating layer covers a side surface of the first interconnect layer and exposes an upper surface of the first interconnect layer. The second insulating layer covers the upper surface of the first interconnect layer and an upper surface of the first insulating layer. The first insulating layer and the second insulating layer include a filler. An average grain diameter and a maximum grain diameter of the filler included in the second insulating layer are smaller than those of the filler included in the first insulating layer.

A method for contacting and rewiring an electronic component embedded in a PCB in the following manner is disclosed. A first permanent resist layer is applied to one contact side of the PCB. The first permanent resist layer is structured to produce exposures in the area of contacts of the electronic component. A second permanent resist layer is applied onto the structured first permanent resist layer. The second permanent resist layer is structured to expose the exposures in the area of the contacts and to produce exposures in line with the desired conductor tracks. The exposures are chemically coated with copper the copper is electric-plated to the exposures. Excess copper in the areas between the exposures is removed.

A method includes the following steps. A seed layer is formed over a structure having at least one semiconductor die. A first patterned photoresist layer is formed over the seed layer, wherein the first patterned photoresist layer includes a first opening exposing a portion of the seed layer. A metallic wiring is formed in the first opening and on the exposed portion of the seed layer.

A printed circuit board (PCB) has multiple layers, where select portions of inner layer circuitry, referred to as inner core circuitry, are exposed from the remaining layers. The PCB having an exposed inner core circuitry is formed using a dummy core plus plating resist process. The select inner core circuitry is part of an inner core. The inner core corresponding to the exposed inner core circuitry forms a semi-flexible PCB portion. The semi-flexible PCB portion is an extension of the remaining adjacent multiple layer PCB. The remaining portion of the multiple layer PCB is rigid. The inner core is common to both the semi-flexible PCB portion and the remaining rigid PCB portion.
