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.
