  • Publication number: 20080173473
    Abstract: An opening is formed in resin 20 by a laser beam so that a via hole is formed. At this time, copper foil 22, the thickness of which is reduced (to 3 ?m) by performing etching to lower the thermal conductivity is used as a conformal mask. Therefore, an opening 20a can be formed in the resin 20 if the number of irradiation of pulse-shape laser beam is reduced. Therefore, occurrence of undercut of the resin 20 which forms an interlayer insulating resin layer can be prevented. Thus, the reliability of the connection of the via holes can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20060169484
    Abstract: This invention provides a printed wiring board having an intensified drop impact resistance of a joint portion between pad and solder. An electrode pad comprises pad portion loaded with solder ball and a cylindrical portion projecting to the solder ball supporting the pad portion. An outer edge of the pad portion extends sideway from a cylindrical portion so that the outer edge is capable of bending. If the outer edge bends when stress is applied to the solder ball 30, stress on the outer edge of the pad portion on which stress is concentrated can be relaxed so as to intensify the joint strength between an electrode pad and solder ball.

  • Publication number: 20060042824
    Abstract: A solder resist comprising a thermosetting resin is printed on a surface of an insulating board (7) having a conductor circuit (6). The solder resist is then heat-cured to form an insulating film (1) having a low thermal expansion coefficient. A laser beam (2) is then applied to the portion of the insulating film in which an opening is to be formed, to burn off the same portion for forming an opening (10), whereby the conductor circuit (6) is exposed. This opening may be formed as a hole for conduction by forming a metal plating film on an inner surface thereof. It is preferable that an external connecting pad be formed so as to cover the opening. The film of coating of a metal is formed by using an electric plating lead, which is preferably cut off by a laser beam after the electric plating has finished.

  • Patent number: 6715204
    Abstract: A printed circuit board and a method for manufacturing the same that facilitates the formation of an upper surface pattern and prevents a lower surface metal foil from being damaged when forming a blind via hole with a laser. A lower surface and an upper surface of an insulative substrate (5) are respectively coated with a lower surface metal foil (220) and an upper surface metal foil (210), the thickness of which is less than that of the lower surface metal foil (220). Next, an opening (213) is formed in the upper surface metal foil at a location corresponding to a blind via hole formation portion (35) of the insulative substrate. A blind via hole (3), the bottom of which is the lower surface metal foil, is formed by emitting a laser (8) against the blind via hole formation portion (35) through the opening (213). Then, a metal plating film (23) is applied to the wall of the blind via hole (3), and an upper surface pattern (21) and a lower surface pattern (22) are formed through etching.
