  • Publication number: 20100025099
    Abstract: A circuit board is manufactured by filling a via-hole formed in an insulating substrate with conductive material, disposing conductive layers on both sides of the insulating substrate, and forming alloy of component material of the conductive material with component material of the conductive layers. In the circuit board, therefore, the conductive material filled in the via-hole formed in the insulating substrate is securely connected electrically as well as mechanically to the conductive layers on both sides of the insulating substrate with high reliability.

  • Publication number: 20090229862
    Abstract: A plurality of double-sided boards using a film are attached to each other with a paste coupling layer sandwiched therebetween. In the paste coupling layer, a conductive paste is filled into a through hole formed in provisionally hardened resin, which is hardened. At the same time, second wirings are electrically coupled to each other by using the hardened conductive paste filled in the through holes that have been previously formed in the paste coupling layer. Thus, it is possible to provide a thinned multilayer printed wiring board without using an adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20080121416
    Abstract: In a case of multilayer circuit boards where a plurality of conventional films are used as insulating layers, the films are connected with each other using an adhesive, and therefore, the adhesive sometimes negatively affects reduction in thickness. Therefore, a plurality of two-sided boards with films used therein are pasted together with a paste connection layer interposed therebetween, the paste connection layer being configured such that through holes formed in a prepreg are filled in with a conductive paste which is then cured, and second wires are electrically connected with each other through the conductive paste with which the through holes formed in the paste connection layer in advance are filled in, and thus, a multilayer board can be provided without using an adhesive, and the entirety of the multilayer circuit board can be reduced in thickness.

  • Patent number: 7291915
    Abstract: A circuit board includes an insulating substrate, a first conductive layer on the insulating substrate, a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer, and a third conductive layer covering the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The first conductive layer has a surface provided on the surface of the insulating substrate, and a surface having a width smaller than a width of the above surface. In this circuit board, the conductive layers have small impedances even if a high-frequency signal flows in the conductive layers.

  • Patent number: 7197820
    Abstract: A circuit board is provided in which peeling strength is prevented from decreasing and a connection resistance to a conductive material is prevented from increasing, though the contact area decreases when the circuit board has a copper foil. This circuit board has a metal film for covering a through hole on at least one surface of an insulating substrate having the through hole filled with the conductive material. An uneven layer with a thickness of 5 ?m or more is formed on a surface of the metal film, and a metal layer is formed on the opposite surface to the uneven layer.

  • Patent number: 6748652
    Abstract: Through holes formed in an electrical insulating substrate having adhesive layers on its both surfaces are filled with a conductor. Then, supporting bases having wiring layers with a predetermined pattern are laminated on both the surfaces of the electrical insulating substrate, which are then heated and pressurized. After that, the supporting bases are removed, thus obtaining a circuit board in which the wiring layers have been embedded in the adhesive layers. The conductor within the through holes are compressed sufficiently, thus forming minute via holes with high reliability.
