A wiring substrate includes a base insulating film, a first
interconnection formed on a top surface side of the base insulating film,
a via conductor provided in a via formed in the base insulating film, and
a second interconnection provided on a bottom surface side of the base
insulating film. The second interconnection is connected to the first
interconnection via the via. The wiring substrate includes
divided-substrate-unit regions, in each of which the first
interconnection, the via, and the second interconnection are formed. The
wiring substrate includes a warpage-controlling pattern on the base
insulating film, with a warped shape such that when the wiring substrate
rests on a horizontal plate, at least a central part of a plane surface
of the substrate contacts the horizontal plate, with both ends of the
side raised.
