  • Publication number: 20240155765
    Abstract: To enhance the degree of design freedom of an outermost conductor layer in an electronic component embedded substrate. An electronic component embedded substrate includes conductor layers, insulating layers each of which is positioned between adjacent two of the conductor layers, and an electronic component embedded in the insulating layer. The conductor layer is positioned in the uppermost layer and includes a plurality of terminal electrodes exposed to one surface side. The insulating layers are each made of a core material obtained by impregnating a core with a resin material, while the insulating layers are made of a resin material not containing a core. Since the insulating layer is made of a resin material not containing a core, the diameter of a via conductor formed in the insulating layer can be reduced. Thus, even when the plurality of terminal electrodes are formed in the conductor layer with a small pitch, the routing distance of wires can be reduced.
