  • Patent number: 8365400
    Abstract: A circuit board structure comprising a composite layer, a fine circuit pattern and a patterned conductive layer is provided. The fine circuit pattern is inlaid in the composite layer, and the patterned conductive layer is disposed on a surface of the composite layer.
