A photocurable and thermosetting composition which is useful in forming a matte film and can be developed with an aqueous alkaline solution is provided. The composition comprises (A) a photosensitive prepolymer obtained by causing a saturated or unsaturated polybasic acid anhydride to react with a hydroxyl group of an esterification product of a novolak type epoxy compound and an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, (B) a carboxyl group-containing copolymer resin, (C) a photopolymerization initiator, (D) a diluent, (E) a polyfunctional epoxy compound having at least two epoxy groups in its molecule, and, when necessary, (F) an inorganic filler. The composition may further comprise (G) an epoxy resin curing agent. This composition can be advantageously used for the formation of a solder resist on a printed circuit board.

Photocurable/thermosetting composition for forming matte film

A multilayer printed circuit board having resinous insulating layers and conductor layers alternately superposed on a circuit board with ample adhesive strength, a method for the production thereof, and a curable resin composition useful for the formation of resinous insulating layers are disclosed. The manufacture of the multilayer printed circuit board is accomplished by applying the curable resin composition to the surface of conductor layer of the circuit board, thermally curing the applied layer thereby forming resinous insulating layer, then boring a through-hole in the circuit board, treating the resinous insulating layer with a coarsening agent thereby imparting undulating coarsened surface thereto, subsequently coating the surface of resinous insulating layer and the inner surface of the through-hole with a conductor layer as by electroless plating, and thereafter forming a prescribed circuit pattern in the conductor layer. The curable resin composition comprises (A) epoxy resins and (B) an epoxy resin curing agent as essential components thereof and optionally contains a rubber component and a filler capable of being decomposed or dissolved by a coarsening agent. This composition contains in combination a bisphenol A epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent of not less than 400 and an epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent of less then 400.

Composition of epoxy resins and curing agent capable of being coarsened

A liquid thermosetting filling composition comprising (A) an epoxy resin assuming a liquid state at room temperature, (B) a phenolic resin assuming a liquid state at room temperature, (C) a curing catalyst, and (D) an inorganic filler is useful as an ink for permanently filling such holes as via holes and through holes in printed circuit boards of a multilayer board or a double-sided board, a sealing compound for IC packages, and the like. This composition is a two-stage thermally curing type. In a method for permanently filling holes in a printed circuit board, the composition is applied to the board so as to fill the holes in the printed circuit board and precured by application of heat. The parts of the precured composition protruding from a surface defining the holes is removed by polishing and then the precured composition is further heated to cause final curing thereof.
