Abstract:
A method for fabricating a printed circuit board is provided. The method includes manufacturing a base film including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side; printing a first wiring on the first side with a high-viscosity conductive material having a viscosity of 5,000 to 300,000 centipoise (CPS); forming a via-hole that passes through both sides of the base film, and passes by the first wiring; and printing a second wiring on the second side with a low-viscosity conductive material having a viscosity of 100 to 5,000 CPS. The low-viscosity conductive material is applied to an inner wall of the via-hole to conductively connect the first wiring to the second wiring.
Abstract:
A process for fabricating a circuit board is provided. A circuit substrate having a first surface and a first circuit layer is provided. A first dielectric layer having a second surface is formed on the circuit substrate and covers the first surface and the first circuit layer. An antagonistic activation layer is formed on the second surface. The antagonistic activation layer is irradiated by a laser beam to form at least a blind via extended from the antagonistic activation layer to the first circuit layer and an intaglio pattern. A first conductive layer is formed inside the blind via. A second conductive layer is formed in the intaglio pattern and the blind via. The second conductive layer covers the first conductive layer and is electrically connected with the first circuit layer through the first conductive layer. The antagonistic activation layer is removed to expose the second surface.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, a circuit board having a further-microfabricated circuit pattern that can be manufactured in further simplified steps is obtained. For such purpose, a mold 10, which has protrusions 11 formed in a pattern corresponding to a circuit pattern, is used to apply a conductive material layer (metal paste) 13 to head portions of the protrusions 11 of the mold 10. The mold is heat- and pressure-welded to the surface of a substrate 20 that is made of a resin film or the like. Accordingly, a pattern comprising the protrusions 11 and the conductive material layer (metal paste) 13 are transferred to the substrate 20. After transfer, the resin substrate (resin molding 30) is immersed in a copper sulfate plating bath for electrolytic plating treatment. Copper ions in the plating bath were deposited inside each recess 31 while the conductive material layer 13 is used as a base material for the formation of a metal wiring 32. A pattern of the recesses 31 transferred to the substrate-20 side is determined depending on a pattern comprising the protrusions 11 on the mold 10. Thus, a microfabricated high-density circuit pattern formed with metal wirings 32 having arbitrary aspect ratios can be obtained.
