Abstract: A multilayer printed circuit board and a corresponding fabrication method are disclosed, which circuit board achieves a relatively high degree of wiring density and a relatively high degree of wiring design freedom. These advantages are obtained in the inventive printed circuit board by electrically connecting power conductors or ground conductors using through holes. On the other hand, signal conductors in any two adjacent signal wiring layers are electrically connected using via holes extending only through an intervening electrically insulating layer. Preferably, the electrically insulating layer is a layer of photosensitive resin and the via holes are formed using conventional photolithographic techniques.
