  • Patent number: 6691409
    Abstract: A circuit board is configured so as to include not less than two wiring layers, an insulator layer for electric insulation between the wiring layers, and an inner-via-hole conductive member provided in the insulator layer in a thickness direction of the insulator layer, for electric connection between the wiring layers. The insulator layer is made of a composite material containing an organic resin and a material having a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than that of the organic resin, and includes a surface part, a core part, and a surface part laminated in the stated order, the surface part having a high content of the organic resin, the core part having a low content of the organic resin. The wiring layers have a land portion that is connected with the inner-via-hole conductive member, the land portion being embedded so as to be substantially in contact with the core part, and the inner-via-hole conductive member has a thickness substantially equal to a thickness of the core part.

  • Publication number: 20030137815
    Abstract: An electrically insulating base material includes a core layer 102, a resin layer 101 on each surface of the core layer 102 and a conductive material 105 filled into through holes 104 formed in a thickness direction. On each surface of the electrically insulating base material, a metal foil 106 is laminated, and a laminate thus obtained is heated and pressed. A conductive filler in the conductive material 105 has a mean particle diameter equal to or larger than a thickness of the resin layer 101, and thus the conductive filler can be prevented from being diffused into the resin layer 101 in a heating and pressing process. As a result, the conductive filler can be densified, thereby allowing a printed wiring board with via hole connection having high connection reliability to be obtained.
