Publication number: 20250031302Abstract: A multilayer three-dimensional circuit substrate includes a first substrate, a first protective metal layer, a second protective metal layer, a second substrate, a first interlayer connecting member, and a second interlayer connecting member. The first protective metal layer has a lower absorption rate of light than a first wiring provided on a first surface of the first substrate. The second protective metal layer has a lower absorption rate of light than a second wiring provided on a second surface of the first substrate. The second substrate is configured such that a thickness between a fifth surface and a sixth surface is thinner than a thickness between a third surface and a fourth surface. A sensor is provided on the fifth surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Applicant: OLYMPUS MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORP.Inventors: Takanori SEKIDO, Kenjiro KANNO
