  • Patent number: 9532462
    Abstract: The present invention provides a structure of a printed circuit board and a manufacturing method thereof. The method includes: (a) forming a circuit pattern on an insulating layer in which a seed layer is formed; (b) embedding the circuit pattern into the insulating layer by a press method; and (c) removing the seed layer. According to the present invention, a fine pattern may be formed without occurring alignment problem by forming a circuit pattern directly on an insulating layer and reliability of the formed fine pattern may be increased by performing a process of embedding protruded circuits into the insulating layer. In addition, possibility of inferior circuit occurring due to ion migration between adjacent circuits may be reduced by performing over-etching a circuit layer to be lower than a surface of the insulating layer during the etching process of removing a seed layer.

  • Patent number: 9491866
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a printed circuit board. The method for manufacturing a printed circuit board includes preparing an insulation board, irradiating a laser onto a graytone mask to each a surface of the insulation board, thereby forming a circuit pattern groove and a via hole at the same time, and filling the circuit pattern groove and the via hole to form a buried circuit pattern and the via. Thus, the circuit pattern groove and the via hole may be formed using the graytone mask at the same time without perfolining a separate process for forming the via hole. Therefore, the manufacturing process may be simplified to reduce the manufacturing costs.

  • Patent number: 9433107
    Abstract: Provided is a printed circuit board, including a plurality of buried circuit patterns which are formed in an active area; and a plurality of buried dummy patterns which are uniformly formed in a dummy area except the active area. Thus, since when the circuit patterns are formed, the dummy patterns are also uniformly formed, a difference in plating can be reduced. Also, since the dummy patterns are uniformly formed in the dummy area, a difference in grinding between the dummy area and the active area can be reduced, thereby enabling the circuit patterns to be formed in the active area without the occurrence of over-grinding.
