Abstract: The method of producing a substrate comprises the steps of: forming a through-hole in a base member; plating the base member so as to coat an inner face of the through-hole with a plated layer; applying photo resist on the base member; optically exposing and developing the photo resist so as to form a resist pattern, which coats at least a planar area of the through-hole; and etching an electrically conductive layer formed on the surface of the base member. The resist pattern is formed so as to separate an area of exposing the conductive layer a prescribed distance away from an edge of the through-hole, and the prescribed length is longer than a distance of etching a side face of the conductive layer in the etching step.

Abstract: A circuit board has a low thermal expansion coefficient that suits the thermal expansion coefficient of an element to be mounted thereupon and can prevent the occurrence of delamination and cracking of a core layer when the circuit board is used in a low temperature environment. The circuit board is constructed by laminating a core layer and at least one wiring layer, where the at least one wiring layer has slightly smaller external dimensions in a planar direction than the core layer.

Abstract: The core layer of a core substrate is made of carbon fibers impregnated with resin. When the temperature of the core layer increases, the core layer suffers from an increase in the thickness because of thermal expansion of the resin. The core layer is sandwiched between the insulating layers containing glass fibers. The insulating layers serve to suppress an increase in the thickness of the core layer resulting from the thermal expansion of the core layer. Thermal stress is suppressed in the core substrate.

Abstract: Large-sized through holes are formed in a core layer of a printed wiring board. Large-sized vias are formed in the shape of a cylinder along the inward wall surfaces of the large-sized through holes located within a specific area. A filling material fills the inner space of the large-sized via. A small-sized through hole penetrates through the corresponding filling material along the longitudinal axis of the small-sized through hole. A small-sized via is formed in the shape of a cylinder along the inward wall surface of the small-sized through hole. The filling material and the core layer are uniformly distributed within the specific area in the in-plane direction of the core substrate. This results in suppression of uneven distribution of thermal stress in the core layer in the in-plane direction of the core layer.

Abstract: Large-sized through holes are formed in a core layer of a printed wiring board. Large-sized vias are formed in the shape of a cylinder along the inward wall surfaces of the large-sized through holes located within a specific area. A filling material fills the inner space of the large-sized via. A small-sized through hole penetrates through the corresponding filling material along the longitudinal axis of the small-sized through hole. A small-sized via is formed in the shape of a cylinder along the inward wall surface of the small-sized through hole. The filling material and the core layer are uniformly distributed within the specific area in the in-plane direction of the core substrate. This results in suppression of uneven distribution of thermal stress in the core layer in the in-plane direction of the core layer.
