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 μm) 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 prevented. Thus, the reliability of the connection of the via holes can be improved.

In a core substrate 30, a ground through hole 36E and a power through hole 36P are disposed in the grid formation, so that electromotive force induced in X direction and Y direction cancel out each other. As a result, even if mutual inductance is reduced and a high frequency IC chip is loaded, electric characteristic and reliability can be improved without generating malfunction or error.
