  • Publication number: 20090183901
    Abstract: A wiring board includes an insulating substrate and a wiring pattern. The wiring pattern includes a main body and an upper end portion and is embedded in the insulating substrate while exposing at least the upper end portion on a surface of the insulating substrate. The upper end portion has a cross-sectional width smaller than that of a lower end portion of the wiring pattern embedded in the insulating substrate. The upper end portion is formed of a metal that is more noble than a metal of the main body of the wiring pattern. The wiring board having this structure achieves very high adhesion of the wiring pattern to the insulating layer.

  • Publication number: 20090044971
    Abstract: The printed wiring board includes an insulating base and a plurality of wirings formed on the surface of the insulating base, wherein the wiring circuit has a conductive undercoat layer formed on the surface of the insulating base, a Cu nodule layer formed on the upper surface of the undercoat layer, a cover plating layer formed on the upper surface of the Cu nodule layer and a first metal plating layer formed on the upper surface of the cover plating layer, and on the upper surface of the wiring circuit, a protruded and depressed surface attributable to protrusions and depressions of the upper surface of the Cu nodule layer is formed. The printed wiring board can be produced by depositing the above metal layers such as the Cu nodule layer with regulating a sidewall surface of a pattern formed from the photosensitive resin. Ruther conductive bonding is possible by the use of an adhesive only.

  • Publication number: 20040099441
    Abstract: A printed circuit board comprising an insulating substrate, a through-hole formed in the insulating substrate, an implant material filling the through-hole, and a wiring pattern formed on both faces of the insulating substrate and electrically connected with the implant material, characterized in that one face of a conductor wiring layer wherein a bump penetrates from one face to the other face and protrudes is adhered to the insulating substrate so as to be electrically connected to the implant material. This bump conductor wiring layer of this printed circuit board has a large degree of freedom in forming a wiring pattern, through-hole, and bump and is unlike conventional handled separately from the insulating substrate. Therefore, the effect arises that this circuit board is the target of commercial trading by itself.

  • Publication number: 20040026122
    Abstract: A printed circuit board comprising an insulating substrate, a via hole (16) formed in the insulating substrate, an implant material (15) filled in the via hole, and wiring patterns formed on the opposite surfaces of the substrates and electrically connected by the implant material, wherein the implant material is selected from a group consisting of acid-free copper, phosphorus-deoxidized copper and tough-pitch copper. Since the via hole comprises high-heat-resisting acid-free copper, phosphorus-deoxidized copper and tough-pitch copper, the printed circuit board is not likely to be deteriorated even when exposed, as is often the case, to a condition that heating/cooling between high temperatures and low temperatures is repeated, and can be used for an extended time while keeping an excellent heat resistance.
