A multi-layer printed circuit board includes a core structure including resin layers and conductor circuits sandwiched by the resin layers, the core structure having first and second surfaces, a first conductor layer including conductor circuits on the first surface of the core structure, and a second conductor layer including conductor circuits on the second surface of the core structure. The core structure includes first and via holes, and the first and second via holes include a metal filling up to the respective top of openings in the resin layers, respectively, sandwich one or more conductor circuits in the core structure and are positioned vertically to form a through hole electrically connecting respective ones of the conductor circuits of the first and second conductor layers, and the first and second via holes are deviated from each other in a vertical direction.

Multi-layer printed circuit board and method of manufacturing multi-layer printed circuit board

A multi-layer printed circuit board including a first insulating layer, a first conductor layer having circuits on one surface of the first insulating layer, a second conductor layer having circuits on the opposite surface of the first insulating layer, a second insulating layer on the second conductor and first insulating layers, and a third conductor layer having circuits on the second insulating layer on the opposite side of the second conductor layer. The first and second insulating layers have first and second via holes formed in openings of the first and second insulating layers and made of conductive materials filling the openings such that circuits in the first and third conductor layers are connected to one or more circuits in the second conductor layer, and the first and second via holes have bottom ends facing the second conductor layer and top ends larger than the bottom ends.

A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board includes the following steps (A) to (D). (A) Laminating a resin insulating layer on each of two sides of a core member to form a core substrate, (B) forming penetrating openings in the core substrate by applying laser beams, (C) forming a rough surface on the core substrate, and (D) providing a metal film for each penetrating opening to form through holes.

Method of manufacturing multi-layer printed circuit board

A method of manufacturing a multi-layer printed circuit board includes the following steps (A) and (B). (A) Providing penetrating openings which are formed into through holes and each of which has a small diameter for a core substrate, and (B) providing penetrating openings which are formed into through holes each having a large diameter for the core substrate.

A multi-layer printed circuit board including a first insulating layer, a first conductor layer having conductor circuits on one surface of the first insulating layer, a second conductor layer having conductor circuits on the opposite surface of the first insulating layer, a second insulating layer on the second conductor and first insulating layers, and a third conductor layer having conductor circuits on the second insulating layer on the opposite side of the second conductor layer. The first and second insulating layers have first and second via holes which are formed in openings of the first and second insulating layers and made of conductive materials filled to the top of the openings such that conductor circuits in the first and third conductor layers are connected to one or more conductor circuits in the second conductor layer, and the first and second via holes are tapering toward the second conductor layer.

A metal layeris sandwiched between insulating layersandso that required strength is maintained. Hence it follows that the thickness of a core substratecan be reduced and, therefore, the thickness of a multi-layer printed circuit board can be reduced. Formation of non-penetrating openingswhich reach the metal layerin the insulating layersandis simply required. Therefore, small non-penetrating openingscan easily be formed by applying laser beams. Thus, through holeseach having a small diameter can be formed.
