Abstract: A printed wiring board for mounting a semiconductor, which printed wiring board has a taper-shaped through hole connecting an upper surface circuit and a lower surface circuit, and/or an internal layer circuit, the taper-shaped through hole being obtained by plating an inner wall surface and a small-diameter side end of a taper-shaped penetration hole with a metal to plate the inner wall surface and seal the small-diameter side end, wherein a ball pad or a bump pad is formed at least a small-diameter side end of the taper-shaped through hole.
