Abstract

A resin filled board is manufactured by forming roughened surfaces on a conductive layer in a throughhole before it is filled with a resin, forming smooth surfaces on conductive layers on the top and bottom of the board, printing the resin using a mask having an opening at a position corresponding to the throughhole to selectively fill the resin in the throughhole, and curing the resin. In this way, the surface of the conductive layer around the throughhole is smoothed, so that hardly any of the resin remains on the surfaces near the throughhole when the surfaces of the board is mechanically polished after the resin is cured. Also, the filling resin will not fall down into the throughhole.

Claims (34)

1. A method of manufacturing a resin filled board having a throughhole extending therethrough, and conductive layers formed on a top and a bottom of said board, said throughhole being filled with a resin, said method comprising:

forming a roughened surface on said conductive layer in said throughhole before said throughhole is filled with said resin;

forming smooth surfaces on said conductive layers formed on the top and bottom of said board;

then printing said resin using a mask having an opening at a position corresponding to said throughhole to selectively fill said throughhole with said resin; and

curing said resin.

2. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 1 , wherein said board having said throughhole filled with said resin is prepared by forming a hole extending through a copper-clad laminate or an insulating board, and plating copper over said board.

3. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 1 , wherein the formation of the roughened surface on the surface of said conductive layer in said throughhole and the smooth surfaces on said conductive layers formed on the top and bottom of said board includes chemically treating the surfaces of said conductive layers in said throughhole and on the top and bottom of said board to form roughened surfaces on said conductive layers in said throughhole and on the top and bottom of said board, and mechanically polishing only the surfaces of said conductive layers on the top and bottom of said board to form the smooth surfaces on said conductive layers on the top and bottom of said board.

4. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 3 , wherein said chemical treatment is made using a blackening reduction solution, a water solution of peroxide, a water solution of inorganic acid and peroxide, or a water solution of organic acid and cupric complex.

5. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 3 , wherein said surfaces of said conductive layer are mechanically polished using a buff.

6. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 1 , wherein said board filled with said resin includes said conductive layers on the top and bottom of said board previously patterned into a predetermined pattern, said patterned conductive layers having smoothed surfaces including portions around said throughhole on the top and bottom of said board.

7. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 1 , wherein said mask comprises a screen plate or a metal mask.

8. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 1 , wherein said opening of said mask has a diameter 1.1 to 2.5 times larger than the diameter of said throughhole.

9. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 1 , further comprising:

mechanically polishing a portion of said resin excessively protruding from said board for removal to planarize the surfaces of said board after printing said resin to selectively fill said throughhole with said resin, and curing said resin.

10. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 1 , wherein said resin is a thermosetting resin or a photo-thermosetting resin.

11. The method of manufacturing a resin filled board according to claim 1 , wherein said resin is a thermosetting resin including a conductive powder.

12. A method of manufacturing a multi-layered printed wiring board, comprising the steps of:

forming a board having a throughhole by forming a hole through a copper-clad laminate or an insulating board and forming a first conductive layer by copper plating on the surface of said board including the wall of said hole;

roughening the surface of said first conductive layer on said board including said throughhole by a chemical treatment;

mechanically polishing said roughened surface of said board for planarization;

then printing a resin using a mask having an opening at a position corresponding to said throughhole to fill said resin in said throughhole, and curing said resin;

mechanically polishing a portion of said resin excessively formed on the surface of said throughhole for removal to planarize the surface of said board;

patterning said first conductive layer on the surface of said board;

forming an insulating resin layer on at least one side of said board; and

forming a second conductive layer on the surface of said insulating resin layer.

13. A method of manufacturing a multi-layered printed wiring board, comprising the steps of:

forming a board having a throughhole by forming a hole through a copper-clad laminate or an insulating board and forming a first conductive layer by copper plating on the surface of said board including the wall of said hole;

roughening the surface of said first conductive layer on said board including said throughhole by a chemical treatment;

mechanically polishing said roughened surface of said board for planarization;

then patterning said first conductive layer on the surface of said board;

then printing a resin using a mask having an opening at a position corresponding to said throughhole to fill said resin in said throughhole, and curing said resin;

mechanically polishing a portion of said resin excessively formed on the surface of said throughhole for removal to planarize the surface of said board;

forming an insulating resin layer on at least one side of said board; and

forming a second conductive layer on the surface of said insulating resin layer.
