  • Publication number: 20230420270
    Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing a wiring substrate in which damage to a device layer during carrier release can be suppressed, and a photolithography process can be carried out with good accuracy on the device layer after carrier release. This method includes: providing a laminated sheet including a carrier, a release layer, a metal layer, and a device layer in order; making a cut line from a surface of the laminated sheet on the carrier side so that the cut line passes through the carrier, the release layer, and the metal layer when the laminated sheet is seen in a cross-sectional view; and removing outer edge portions outside the cut line in the carrier, the release layer, and the metal layer, thereby exposing part of a surface of the device layer on the metal layer side to form a pressurizable exposed portion for promoting release of the carrier.

  • Patent number: 11756845
    Abstract: A glass carrier-attached copper foil is provided that can achieve a desired circuit mounting board that reduces separation of a copper layer at the cut edge even if the copper foil is downsized to dimensions enabling mount of a circuit, and has an intended circuit pattern with a fine pitch. The glass carrier-attached copper foil includes a glass carrier, a release layer, and a copper layer with a thickness of 0.1 to 3.0 ?m. The glass carrier has, at least on its surface having the copper layer thereon, a plurality of flat regions each having a maximum height Rz of less than 1.0 ?m as measured in accordance with JIS B 0601-2001 and a rough region having a maximum height Rz of 1.0 to 30.0 ?m as measured in accordance with JIS B 0601-2001. The rough region has a pattern of lines that define the flat regions.

  • Patent number: 11525073
    Abstract: There is a method of manufacturing a multilayer wiring board including: alternately stacking wiring layers and insulating layers; stacking a reinforcing sheet on one surface of the resulting multilayer laminate with a soluble adhesive layer therebetween, wherein an unoccupied region without the soluble adhesive layer is provided within a facing area where the reinforcing sheet faces the multilayer laminate; allowing a liquid capable of dissolving the soluble adhesive layer to infiltrate the unoccupied region to dissolve or soften the soluble adhesive layer; and releasing the reinforcing sheet from the multilayer laminate at the soluble adhesive layer. This method enables the multilayer wiring layer to be reinforced to generate no large local warpage, thereby improving the reliable connection and the surface flatness (coplanarity) of the multilayer wiring layer. The used reinforcing sheet can be released in a significantly short time, while minimizing the stress applied to the multilayer laminate.

  • Patent number: 11527415
    Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a multilayer wiring board including: alternately stacking wiring layers and insulating layers; stacking a reinforcing sheet having openings on one surface of the resulting multilayer laminate with a soluble adhesive layer therebetween; contacting or infiltrating the soluble adhesive layer with a liquid capable of dissolving the soluble adhesive layer through the openings to thereby dissolve or soften the soluble adhesive layer; and releasing the reinforcing sheet from the multilayer laminate at the position of the soluble adhesive layer. This method enables the multilayer wiring layer to be reinforced so as to generate no large local warpage, thereby improving the reliable connection in the multilayer wiring layer and the flatness (coplanarity) on the surface of the multilayer wiring layer. The reinforcing sheet having finished its role can be released in a significantly short time, while minimizing the stress applied to the multilayer laminate.
