Abstract: An insulating varnish comprising a resin component, electrical insulating whiskers, and if necessary, one or more additives such as an ion adsorbent, and/or an organic reagent for preventing injury from copper, produced by adding the additives to the resin component and the whiskers, or filtering the whiskers, or milled by using a beads mill or a three-roll mill, or the like, is excellent for producing a multilayer printed circuit board having high wiring density, high reliability and excellent other electrical properties.

Abstract: A multilayer printed circuit board small in interlayer thickness, capable of fine wiring, minimized in IVH and BVH diameters, high in strength and also excellent in wire bonding workability can be produced by a process comprising the steps of coating a thermosetting resin varnish compounded with electrically insulating whiskers on a roughened side of a copper foil, semi-curing the resin by heating to form a thermosetting resin layer, integrally laminating it on an interlayer board in which plated through-holes and conductor circudits have been formed, and roughening the cured thermosetting resin layer on the via hole wall surfaces with a roughening agent.
