  • Patent number: 11878487
    Abstract: A porous resin film for a metal layer laminate board and a metal layer laminate board are provided to suppress damage to a metal layer disposed on an inner peripheral surface of a through hole and to have excellent electrical connection reliability even under the high temperature environment. The porous resin film for a metal layer laminate board is used in lamination of a metal layer. The porous resin film for a metal layer laminate board has a minimum thermal expansion coefficient X in a plane direction perpendicular to a thickness direction and a thermal expansion coefficient Z in the thickness direction. In the porous resin film for a metal layer laminate board, a ratio (Z/X) of the thermal expansion coefficient Z in the thickness direction to the minimum thermal expansion coefficient X is 3.5 or less.
