A multilayer substrate including a multilayer body formed by laminating a plurality of insulating layers including via holes in the insulating layer as an uppermost layer of the multilayer body so as to pass through the insulating layer, and via conductors formed by filling the via holes with a conductive paste. The via holes are formed through lower end positions, upper end positions, and intermediate positions between the lower end positions and the upper end positions such that a diameter enlargement degree toward the upper end positions from the intermediate positions is larger than a diameter enlargement degree toward the intermediate positions from the lower end positions. By forming the via holes as described above, when the via holes are filled with the conductive paste from openings at the small diameter side of the via holes, exudation of the conductive paste from openings at the large diameter side is prevented.

Multilayer substrate and method for manufacturing the same

A via hole forming method and a multilayered board manufacturing method improve manufacturing yield by reducing the required processes. The via hole forming method includes a first step of forming a toner image by attaching toner particles, containing a conductive material and having a protruding portion, onto the surface of a first photosensitive member so that the protruding portion is directed to the outside; and a second step of opposing the surface of the first photosensitive member to one principal surface of a green sheet containing an insulating material and transferring the toner image to the one principal surface of the green sheet so that the protruding portions of the toner particles protrude into the green sheet so as to reach the other principal surface of the green sheet and the toner particles are buried in the green sheet. The via holes are formed using an electrophotographic printing method.

Via hole forming method using electrophotographic printing method

A ceramic multilayer substrate includes a plurality of laminated ceramic layers and at least one conductor pattern and disposed on at least one of the ceramic layers. The ceramic multilayer substrate has a cavity in at least a first main surface. The ceramic multilayer substrate includes a deformation preventing pattern disposed on at least one of the ceramic layers having an opening forming the cavity. The deformation preventing pattern surrounds the entire perimeter of the opening and is made of the same material as the conductor pattern.

Ceramic multilayer substrate

A monolithic electronic component includes a composite body having a plurality of stacked ceramic layers. The ceramic layers include interconnecting conductors provided in each of the ceramic layers, including first terminals, arranged on a first end surface in the stacking direction of the composite body, for defining connections with an interconnection substrate, and second terminals, arranged on a second end surface opposite of the first end surface of the composite, for defining connections with a mounted component. The first terminals are defined by conductor layers provided on the first end surface and the second terminals are defined by exposed end surfaces of terminal via-hole conductors which extend from the inner portion of the composite to the second end surface. The exposed end surfaces of the terminal via-hole conductors are flat and are on substantially the same plane as the second end surface.
