Patent number: 11399426Abstract: A wiring board and a method for manufacturing the wiring board in which an initial Cu plated layer is formed by plating so as to cover the surface of a metallized layer and then the initial Cu plated layer is heated to be softened or melted. Copper in the softened or melted initial Cu plated layer enters into open pore portions of the metallized layer. In addition, during the heating, components of the metallized layer and components of the initial Cu plated layer are mutually thermally diffused. Consequently, when solidified later (that is, when the initial Cu plated layer becomes a lower Cu plated layer), the adhesiveness between the metallized layer and the lower Cu plated layer is improved due to, for example, an anchoring effect and a mutual thermal diffusion effect.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventors: Toshio Suzuki, Masami Kanayama, Akiyoshi Hattori, Masanori Kito

Publication number: 20190191544Abstract: The present invention provides a wiring board having a conductor portion on which mounting is suitably possible and a method for manufacturing the wiring board. Since an initial Cu plated layer is formed by plating so as to cover the surface of a metallized layer and then the initial Cu plated layer is heated to be softened or melted, copper in the softened or melted initial Cu plated layer enters into open pore portions of the metallized layer. In addition, during the heating, components of the metallized layer and components of the initial Cu plated layer are mutually thermally diffused. Consequently, when solidified later (that is, when the initial Cu plated layer becomes a lower Cu plated layer), the adhesiveness between the metallized layer and the lower Cu plated layer is improved due to, for example, an anchoring effect and a mutual thermal diffusion effect, and therefore mountability is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2017Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Toshio SUZUKI, Masami KANAYAMA, Akiyoshi HATTORI, Masanori KITO
