Abstract: A multilayered wiring board using conductive pillars for the interconnection of wiring layers. Since through holes are bored in the via lands of the wiring layers of the multilayered wiring board, the stress applied between the conductive pillars and wiring layers can be released at the time of connecting the conductive pillars to the via lands. Since the external side face of each conductive pillar smoothly continues to the surface of the via land at the contact section between the conductive pillar and the via land, the notch effect is relieved. Therefore, the reliability of the interconnection is secured even when a stress is applied to the connections during the manufacturing of the multilayered wiring board, and the mounting of electronic elements, etc.

Abstract: A supporting member or first synthetic resin sheet with conductive bumps disposed at predetermined positions are superposed on a second synthetic resin sheet under the condition that the resin component of the second synthetic resin sheet is plastic deformed or the temperature thereof exceeds a glass transition temperature so that the conductive bumps are pierced into the second synthetic resin sheet. In other words, the conductive bumps are pierced vertically into the second synthetic resin sheet so as to form through-type conducive lead portions exposed to the first (supporting substrate) and second synthetic resin sheets. The through-type conductive lead portions are used to electrically connect electric devices and circuit and to connect wiring pattern layers. The conductive bumps can be precisely and densely formed and disposed by printing method or plating method. The conductive bumps can be pushed and pierced into the second synthetic resin sheet.

Abstract: Small projections are arranged on a molding surface of at least one of an upper die half and a lower die half constituting a molding die, and a predetermined number of conductor circuits each including small projections are formed on the molding surface by electrically plating. A predetermined number of conductor circuits are formed on the molding surface of other die half in the same manner. Subsequently, the molding surfaces of both the die halves are brought in pressure contact with each other so that the electrically plated layers each including small projections on the molding surface are connected electrically. Thereafter, the hollow space between both the die halves is filled with a predetermined resin, whereby the conductor circuits are reversely secured to the resultant molded product to complete production of a three-dimensional wiring board. After electronic components are assembled on the three-dimensional wiring board, the resin is removed from the molded product by dissolving the resin.
