A laminate printed circuit board loaded with transistors, ICs (Integrated Circuits) or LSIs (Large Scale Integrated Circuits) and a method of producing the same are disclosed. The circuit board includes a signal layer, a ground layer and a power supply layer sequentially laminated with the intermediary of insulation layers. An impedance adding circuit is formed in the power supply layer. A magnetic layer is positioned at least above or at least blow the impedance adding circuit. The circuit board with this configuration reduces power supply noise to a noticeable degree.

Laminate printed circuit board with a magnetic layer

A multilayered printed wiring board includes a plurality of inner layer circuits, ground layers, first insulating layers, a second insulating layer, a surface layer circuit, and a parts mounting pad. The inner layer circuits are arranged parallel to each other in a flat manner in at least one inner layer. The ground layers are formed on and under the inner layer circuits to sandwich the inner layer circuits. The first insulating layers are respectively formed between the ground layers and the inner layer circuits to insulate the inner layer circuits from each other and the inner layer circuits from the ground layers. The second insulating layer is formed at least on an uppermost one of the ground layers and serving as a surface layer. The surface layer circuit is selectively formed on the second insulating layer. The parts mounting pad is formed at a predetermined region on the second insulating layer, has a recessed portion for fitting a lead portion of a mounting part therein, and is connected to the surface layer circuit. A method of manufacturing this printed wiring board is also disclosed.

Method of manufacturing a multilayered printed wiring board

An apparatus for plating a printed circuit board including a non-through hole for connecting between a surface conductive layer and an interlayer wiring layer has a jig, a vessel, a supporting body carrying the jig for causing it to vibrate and swing in a plating liquid contained in the vessel, and a vacuum pump connected to the vessel for exhausting the air in the vessel thereby enhancing removal of bubbles in the non-through hole. A method of plating a printed circuit board includes the step of reducing the pressure inside the vessel simultaneously with the printed circuit board being subjected to the vibration and swinging actions thereby to remove a bubble existing inside the non-through hole. The removal of the bubble makes it possible to have a uniform plating film formed in an inner wall of the non-through hole and ensures the reliable electric connection to be established through the non-through hole between a surface conductive layer and interlayer conductive layers.

Multilayered printed wiring board and method of manufacturing the same

A multilayered board is formed by applying a photosensitive insulating resin layer on a laminated plate on which via holes and a circuit pattern are formed, followed by the formation of photoviaholes through the photoprinting method, plating and etching. Then, the multilayered board is adhered to another multilayered board prepared in the same manner through a prepreg layer and a conductive paste while applying heat and pressure to give a multilayer printed wiring board. According to this method, electrical connections between the conductive layer of the upper-most layer and the inner conductive layers, between the inner conductive layers, and between the lower-most conductive layer and the inner conductive layers can be achieved through the photoviaholes and the conductive paste. Therefore, it is not necessary to form through-holes for the electrical connection therebetween. The multilayer printed wiring boards can be substantially improved in the number of layers and wiring density thereof.

Method for producing multilayer printed wiring boards

A laminated board in which each of prepreg sheets is sandwiched between an internal printed wiring board which is provided with wirings and each of external printed wiring board which is provided with wirings on the outermost surface thereof is formed with through-holes by drilling. A thin copper plating layer is formed on the surfaces of the laminated board including the inner wall of the through-hole. Then, an alkali-soluble photoresist film is selectively formed on the surface of the thin copper plating layer and a thick copper plating layer is formed. The thin copper plating layer is removed by using the thick copper plating layer as a mask to forme through holes and wirings. The through holes and wirings can be thus formed without using the additive process. Environmental pollution due to use of organic solvents can be prevented by avoiding the use of an organic solvent-soluble resist film having a strong resistance to alkalis.
