Abstract

Disclosed is a circuit board including: an insulation layer for burying at least one wire layer and at least one via layer and having a first side and a second side facing each other, and a first wire layer partly protruding over the first side of the insulation layer and partly buried in the insulation layer, wherein the insulation layer has a concave cavity dented from the first side, and part of the via layer is exposed from the insulation layer through a bottom side of the cavity.

Claims (20)

1 . A circuit board comprising:

an insulation layer, in which at least one wire layer and a via layer are disposed, the insulating layer having a first side and a second side opposing each other; and

a first wire layer partly protruding over the first side of the insulation layer and partly disposed in the insulation layer,

wherein the insulation layer has a concave cavity dented in a thickness direction of the circuit board from the first side,

the via layer includes one via having a part exposed from the insulation layer through a bottom side of the cavity and another via connected to the first wire layer, and

a thickness of the one via in the thickness direction is less than a thickness of the another via in the thickness direction.

2 . The circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising

a surface processing layer disposed on a surface of the first wire layer protruding from the first side of the insulation layer.

3 . The circuit board of claim 2 , wherein

the surface processing layer includes nickel, palladium, and gold.

4 . The circuit board of claim 2 , wherein

the surface processing layer includes nickel, palladium, or gold.

5 . The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein

a bottom side and an internal side of the cavity have a same surface roughness.

6 . The circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising

a solder resist layer disposed on the second side of the insulation layer.

7 . The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein

a surface roughness of the bottom side of the cavity is the same as the surface roughness of the first side of the insulation layer.

8 . The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein

the one via of the via layer has a tapered shape such that an end of the one via exposed from the insulation layer has a width less than that of another end of the one via embedded in the insulation layer.
