Abstract:
A multilayer circuit board and a manufacturing method for producing the board via simple manufacturing processes employing a droplet jetting method, where the inter-layer insulating film can be easily made flat. The multilayer circuit board includes at least two wiring layers, an inter-layer insulating film provided between every adjacent two of the wiring layers, and conductive posts for providing electrical conductivity between the wiring layers. The manufacturing method includes the step of forming the inter-layer insulating film by changing the film thickness of the inter-layer insulating film according to a concavo-convex shape of an area where the inter-layer insulating film is formed, so as to level an upper surface of the inter-layer insulating film. The concavo-convex shape may be computed based on design data of a circuit pattern for forming the wiring layers and the conductive posts, or may be measured before the inter-layer insulating film is formed.
Abstract:
A method of producing a circuit-parts sheet having a structure in which a light-nontransmitting circuit-forming pattern is secured in a photo-cured ceramic sheet and is exposed on both surfaces of said photo-cured ceramic sheet, comprising the steps of: (a) forming the light-nontransmitting conductor pattern on the surface of a light-transmitting film; (b) forming a photo-curable ceramic coating layer by applying a photo-curable slurry onto the surface of the film on which said conductor pattern is formed; (c) forming a photo-cured ceramic sheet by photo-curing said photo-curable ceramic coating layer by the irradiation with light from the back surface of said film; (d) removing uncured portions of said photo-curable ceramic coating layer by using a developing solution; and (e) peeling off said carrier film. Use of this circuit-parts sheet makes it possible to produce a multi-layer circuit board simultaneously satisfying both the requirement for decreasing the thickness of the insulating layers and the requirement of increasing the thickness of the wiring conductor layers.
Abstract:
Bonding pad(s) formed on a printed circuit board with circuit patterns. The bonding pad(s) include a plurality of copper patterns formed on the PCB and electrically connected to the circuit patterns, a filler filled between the copper patterns such that an upper surface of the copper pattern is exposed, and a plating layer applied at an upper surface of the copper patterns. An interval between wire bonding pad(s) is reduced by preventing a nickel plating layer and a gold plating layer from protruding at a lower portion of a copper pattern when they are formed on the copper patterns.
