Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flex-rigid wiring board including disposing a flexible board comprising a flexible substrate and a conductor pattern formed over the flexible substrate and a non-flexible substrate adjacent to each other, covering a boundary between the flexible board and the non-flexible substrate with an insulating layer comprising an inorganic material, providing a conductor pattern on the insulating layer, forming a via hole opening which passes through the insulating layer and reaches the conductor pattern of the flexible board, and plating the via hole opening to form a via connecting the conductor pattern of the flexible board and the conductor pattern on the insulating layer.

Abstract: This invention provides a multilayer printed wiring board in which electric connectivity and functionality are obtained by improving reliability and particularly, reliability to the drop test can be improved. No corrosion resistant layer is formed on a solder pad 60B on which a component is to be mounted so as to obtain flexibility. Thus, if an impact is received from outside when a related product is dropped, the impact can be buffered so as to protect any mounted component from being removed. On the other hand, land 60A in which the corrosion resistant layer is formed is unlikely to occur contact failure even if a carbon pillar constituting an operation key makes repeated contacts.

Abstract: A method of forming a circuit board which includes generating laser light with a carbon dioxide laser and making a hole through an insulating substrate by irradiating the insulating substrate with the laser light. The hole includes a top opening in a top surface of the insulating substrate, a bottom opening in a bottom surface of the insulating substrate, and an inner wall extending from the top opening to the bottom opening along a thickness direction of the insulating substrate, the inner wall including a bulge which extends in a direction generally orthogonal to the thickness direction. A via hole is formed in the insulating substrate by providing metal in the hole such that the metal extends from the top opening to the bottom opening along the inner wall, and completely closes each of the top and bottom openings.
