Patent number: 10609823Abstract: A method for manufacturing a multilayer wiring board includes a step (1) and a step (2). The step (1) disposes a hole for through-hole, a squirt of metal foils, and a lower space. The squirt of the metal foils on both the sides of the insulating layer is formed at an opening of the hole for through-hole. The lower space is formed between the squirt of the metal foils and an inner wall of the hole for through-hole. The step (2) plugs up the hole for through-hole by forming an electrolytic filled plating layer at an inside of the hole for through-hole and on the metal foils on both the sides of the insulating layer. The plugging of the hole for through-hole in the step (2) is performed by once decreasing a current density of an electrolytic filled plating in a middle of the electrolytic filled plating and then increasing the current density again.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: HITACHI CHEMICAL COMPANY, LTD.Inventor: Nobuyuki Yoshida
