Abstract:
An opening is formed in resin 20 by a laser beam so that a via hole is formed. At this time, copper foil 22, the thickness of which is reduced (to 3 nullm) by performing etching to lower the thermal conductivity is used as a conformal mask. Therefore, an opening 20a can be formed in the resin 20 if the number of irradiation of pulse-shape laser beam is reduced. Therefore, occurrence of undercut of the resin 20 which forms an interlayer insulating resin layer can be prevented. Thus, the reliability of the connection of the via holes can be improved.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board 1 providing superior adhesion between a substrate 2 and a conductor pattern 3 and preventing damage of the substrate 2. The width c of the bottom surface 310 of the conductor pattern 3 is greater than the width d of the top surface 320. Accordingly, the conductor pattern 3 has a trapezoidal cross-section. The two side surfaces 315 of a lower portion 31 of the conductor pattern 3 are coated by a solder resist. The two side surfaces 325 at the upper portion 32 of the conductor pattern 3 are exposed from the solder resist 4. A solder ball 6 engages the two side surfaces 325.
