  • Patent number: 12213254
    Abstract: A multi-layer printed circuit board includes a base-layer metal, multiple middle metal layers and a top-layer metal. The middle metal layers are stacked on the base-layer metal sequentially. The top-layer metal is disposed on the middle metal layers. The base-layer metal, each middle metal layer and the top-layer metal are formed with multiple through holes respectively. Part of the middle metal layers are separately formed with multiple hole groups corresponding to the through holes. Each hole group includes multiple passing holes.
