Abstract
A manufacturing process for an organic chip carrier is disclosed which permits one to form a substantially bowl-shaped via hole in the substrate of the chip carrier, which makes it easy to deposit a conductive layer having a substantially uniform thickness on the sidewall of the via hole. In accordance with the manufacturing process, photosensitive resin 3 is provided on a substrate 1 in a thickness which is the thickness necessary for a final insulating layer plus a thickness to be removed by, for example grinding, the photosensitive resin 3. Cavities are then formed in the photosensitive resin 3 in a predetermined pattern by exposure and development. The photosensitive resin 3 formed with the cavities 8 is heat-cured. Subsequently, when the photo-cured layer 6a and a part of the heat-cured layer 3a are removed, e.g., ground off, a substantially bowl-shaped via hole 9 is formed.
