The second metal has a higher solder wettability than the first metal. As viewed perpendicular to the major surface, the insulating layer is spaced from and surrounds the surface of the second layer so as to define a recess between the multilayer body and the insulating layer.

An example of a printed structure comprises a target substrate and a structure protruding from a surface of the target substrate. A component comprising a component substrate separate and independent from the target substrate is disposed in alignment with the structure on the surface of the target substrate within 1 micron of the structure. An example method of making a printed structure comprises providing the target substrate with the structure protruding from the target substrate, a transfer element, and a component adhered to the transfer element. The component comprises a component substrate separate and independent from the target substrate. The transfer element and adhered component move vertically toward the surface of the target substrate and horizontally towards the structure until the component physically contacts the structure or is adhered to the surface of the target substrate. The transfer element is separated from the component.

A semiconductor device includes: a substrate including a main surface; a wiring portion including a first conductive layer formed on the main surface, and a first plating layer which is provided on the first conductive layer and on which an oxide film is formed; a semiconductor element including an element mounting surface and an element electrode formed on the element mounting surface; a bonding portion including a second plating layer made of the same material as the first plating layer and laminated on the first conductive layer, and a solder layer laminated on the second plating layer and bonded to the element electrode; and a sealing resin covering the semiconductor element.

A semiconductor package carrier board, a method for fabricating the same, and an electronic package having the same are provided. The method includes forming on a circuit structure a graphene layer that acts as an insulation heat dissipating layer. Since the heat conductivity of the graphene layer is far greater than the heat conductivity of ink (about 0.4 W/m.Math.k), which is used as solder resist, the heat of the semiconductor package carrier board can be conducted quickly, and thus can avoid the problem that the heat will be accumulated on the semiconductor package carrier board.
