ABSTRACT:
In a wiring configuration for a semiconductor component, an unused terminal is insulated from a third land via an insulating film, and thus no connecting member (solder) is required for the unused terminal. With this, the third land is not accidentally removed from a circuit board during exchange of the semiconductor component, and the number of defective circuit boards can be reduced. Moreover, the third land for the unused terminal is included in a wiring pattern due to the connection thereof to other lands or other traces for signals and for grounding with a connecting trace. Thus, the widths of lines can be increased, and furthermore, the insusceptibility of transmission lines in high-frequency circuits to noise can be increased.
