  • Patent number: 8541694
    Abstract: A multilayer wiring board is capable of preventing the occurrence of cracking in the vicinity of a connection portion of a conductor pattern disposed inside a basic material layer and a via-hole conductor even when the conductor pattern is connected to the via-hole conductor. A multilayer wiring board includes basic material layers and the constraining layers that are alternately stacked. In the material layer, a via-hole conductor is connected to an intermediate conductor pattern. An extended portion is defined by extending an end of the via-hole conductor beyond the intermediate conductor pattern inside the basic material layer.
