  • Publication number: 20230389172
    Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing method of circuit board, including a first substrate, a second substrate, a third substrate, a fourth substrate, multiple conductive structures, and a conductive via structure. The third substrate has an opening and includes a first dielectric layer. The opening penetrates the third substrate, and the first dielectric layer fills the opening. Multiple conductive structures are formed so that the first substrate, the second substrate, the third substrate, and the fourth substrate are electrically connected through the conductive structures to define a ground path. A conductive via structure is formed to penetrate the first substrate, the second substrate, the first dielectric layer of the third substrate, and the fourth substrate. The conductive via structure is electrically connected to the first substrate and the fourth substrate to define a signal path, and the ground path surrounds the signal path.
