  • Publication number: 20230257576
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a thermosetting resin sheet that makes it easier, while an insulating layer where a conductor is to be embedded is being formed, to embed the conductor in the insulating layer and reduces the chances of causing a decline in moldability. A thermosetting resin sheet (1) includes a prepreg layer (2) and a resin sheet layer (3) stacked on the prepreg layer (2). The prepreg layer (2) includes a base member (4) and an uncured product or semi-cured product of a first thermosetting resin composition impregnated into the base member (4). The resin sheet layer (3) is an uncured product or semi-cured product of a second thermosetting resin composition. A curing time of the resin sheet layer (3) is longer than a curing time of the prepreg layer (2).
