Publication number: 20230145560Abstract: A method for manufacturing a printed wiring board includes preparing an intermediate substrate including an insulating layer, a conductor layer including circuits, and a first resin insulating layer, inputting, to a laser processing machine that forms openings, positions of the openings, generating, based on analysis of the conductor layer, classification of the circuits, inputting, to the machine, shot numbers for forming the openings determined based on the classification, and executing the machine based on the positions and shot numbers such that the openings are formed. The circuits include power supply, ground, and signal circuits, the classification includes stratifying such that the power supply and ground circuits belong to the first category and the signal circuits belong to the second category, and the inputting includes setting the shot number for the openings belonging to the first category is smaller than the shot number for the openings belonging to the second category.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: IBIDEN CO., LTD.Inventors: Katsuo KAWAGUCHI, Tsutomu YAMAUCHI, Takeshi TAKAGI, Takuya OTSUKI, Masanori SANO

Patent number: 8093502Abstract: A flex-rigid printed wiring board is proposed which includes rigid substrates each formed from an insulative base material and a conductor circuit provided on the insulative base material, and a bendably flexible substrate formed from an insulative base material, conductor circuit provided on the insulative base material and a cover lay to cover the conductor circuit, the rigid and flexible substrates being connected to each other. As the insulative base material of the flexible substrate, there is adopted a bendable base material formed by impregnating a glass cloth with a resin and drying it. An conductor circuit is formed on one side of the flexible substrate while a dummy pattern is formed on the other side near a portion thereof where the flexible substrate is to be bent.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2005Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Ibiden Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukinobu Mikado, Katsumi Sagisaka, Katsuo Kawaguchi, Tetsuya Muraki
