  • Publication number: 20150121693
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a multi-layer circuit board includes the following steps. Firstly, two core layers are compressed to form a substrate having two surfaces opposite to each other. Then, a via connecting the surfaces is formed. A patterned circuit layer including a concentric-circle pattern is then formed on each surface by using the via as an alignment target. Next, a first stacking layer is formed on each surface. Then, a first through hole penetrating regions of the first stacking layer and the substrate where a first concentric circle from the center of the concentric-circle pattern is orthogonally projected thereon is formed. A second stacking layer is then formed on each first stacking layer. Afterward, a second through hole penetrating regions of the first, the second stacking layers and the substrate where a second concentric circle from the center of the concentric-circle pattern is orthogonally projected thereon is formed.
