  • Publication number: 20140251659
    Abstract: A circuit board, onto which an electronic component is to be mounted, is provided with insulating core substrates and patterned metal plates. The metal plates are bonded to at least one side of the insulating core substrates. The insulating core substrates and the metal plates form a laminated body, in which a gas-vent hole is provided. The gas-vent hole is formed so that when the electronic component is mounted, the gas present between the insulating core substrates and the metal plates expands and is released to a side open to the atmosphere via the gas-vent hole.

  • Publication number: 20140226296
    Abstract: This multi-layer wiring board is provided with an insulating substrate, an inner layer copper sheet, and an outer layer copper foil. The inner layer copper sheet is disposed within the insulating substrate and has been patterned. The outer layer copper foil is disposed in a state of having been patterned at the surface of the insulating substrate, is thinner than the inner layer copper sheet, and has a cross-sectional area of the current path that is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the current path of the inner layer copper sheet. As a result, provided are: a multi-layer wiring board that can flow a large current and a smaller current while suppressing an increase in the projected area of the substrate; and a method for producing the multi-layer wiring board.
