Conductive vias (132) provide conductive interconnection between the two internal wiring layers (124, 126). A method of fabricating a multiple wiring layer interconnection element is also provided.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a multilayer wiring board including the steps of forming an insulating layer on a base provided with a bump for interlayer connection, bonding a copper foil onto the insulating layer by a thermocompression bonding by sandwiching the copper foil between stainless steel plates, and patterning the copper foil, in which a metal foil is interposed at least between each of the stainless plates and the copper foil at the time of the thermocompression bonding. At this time, a mold release layer is formed on a surface of the metal foil to be imposed. Thus, such a multilayer wiring board can be manufactured that prevents sticking of a product after molding (cementing of the copper foil) and excels in dimensional stability without occurrence of wrinkling and ruggedness.
Abstract:
A plurality of multilayer metal sheets (1) each comprising a bump-forming metal layer (2), etching-stop layer (3), and a wiring film-forming metal layer (4) are processed so as to each have a wiring film (4a) formed out of the wiring film-forming metal layer and bumps (2a) formed out of the bump-forming metal layer. The multilayer metal sheets are so stacked by repeating a stacking step in such a way that the bump-forming surface of one multilayer metal sheet faces to the wiring film of another multilayer metal sheet. A multilayer wiring board is polished by a polisher (11a) for a multilayer wiring board comprising a metal sheet holding means (13) for holding a metal sheet (1a), a blade holding means (25) for holding a blade (26) above the metal sheet, a height adjusting mechanism (20) for adjusting the height of the blade holding means, and a blade translating mechanism (15) for moving the blade holding means parallel to the surface of the metal sheet.
