One or more stud bumps may form a conductive column to a component having back side metallization. In an embodiment, the column of stud bumps may be about 130 um vertically (Z-direction). Providing a microelectronics package with a column of stud bumps electrically connected to a component having back side metallization may provide a cost effective electrical interconnect and may enable the incorporation of components of different thicknesses, including that the component thicknesses are independent of each other, in a single fanout package, while providing a thin package profile and back side surface finish integration.

A wiring board for a built-in electronic component includes a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer formed under the first insulating layer, and a conductor layer formed on an upper surface of the second insulating layer such that a cavity is formed to penetrate through the first insulating layer and the conductor layer and expose the second insulating layer at a bottom of the cavity and is formed to accommodate an electronic component therein. The first insulating layer and the conductor layer are formed such that the cavity has a first inner side surface extending from an upper opening edge to a position closer to the second insulating layer, and a lateral expansion part formed between a lower edge of the first inner side surface and the second insulating layer and extending outward from the lower edge of the first inner side surface.

When a specification setting unit sets a specification of a lot number “k+1” after setting a specification of a lot number “k”, a mounting program selector performs a mounting program corresponding to the lot number “k”, and then selects a mounting program corresponding to the lot number “k+1” according to matching between a mounting number from the mounting program and a planned number of products of the lot number “k”. A printing program selector selects a printing program corresponding to the lot number “k”, and then selects a printing program corresponding to the lot number “k+1” according to matching between a sum of a printing number from the printing program and a defective product number and the planned number of products of the lot number “k”. Consequently, on-demand production of an electronic device can easily be manufactured on a manufacturing line.
