A capacitor having a high quality and a manufacturing method of the same are provided. A capacitor has a lower electrode formed on an oxide film, a dielectric layer formed on the lower electrode, an upper electrode formed so as to face the lower electrode with the dielectric layer between, and an upper electrode formed so as to cover the upper electrode, an opening portion of the upper electrode and an opening portion of the dielectric layer. By forming the upper electrode on the dielectric layer, it is possible to pattern the dielectric layer by using the upper electrode as a mask, and provide a capacitor having a high-quality dielectric layer by preventing impurity diffusion into the dielectric layer. By forming the upper electrode on the dielectric layer, it is possible to prevent the dielectric layer from being exposed to etching liquid, liquid developer, etc.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board having a landless via hole. Specifically, this invention provides a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board having a landless via hole without the upper land of a via hole using a photoresist (P-LPR) which is loaded in the via hole. Therefore, in this invention, since a circuit pattern is formed using only copper of a copper clad laminate, the width thereof is minimized, thus easily realizing a fine circuit pattern. Further, the landless via hole structure is applied, resulting in a highly dense circuit pattern.

A structure for reducing stress for vias and a fabricating method thereof are provided. One or more wires or vias in the thickness direction are enframed with the use of a stress block in a lattice structure to be isolated from being directly contacted with the major portion of insulating materials with a high coefficient of thermal expansion. Thus, the shear stress resulting from temperature loading can be blocked or absorbed by the stress block.
