Abstract

The invention relates to an adhesion assisting agent-bearing metal foil comprising a layer of an adhesion assisting agent containing an epoxy resin as an indispensable component on a metal, wherein the adhesion assisting agent layer has a thickness of 0.1 to 10 μm. The invention also relates to a printed wiring board being a multilayer wiring board having a plurality of layers, wherein an adhesion assisting agent layer is formed between insulating layers.

Claims (8)

1. A production method of a printed wiring board comprising: layering an adhesion assisting agent-bearing metal foil on an insulating layer in such a manner that the adhesion assisting agent is set on the insulating layer side, wherein the adhesion assisting agent-bearing metal foil comprises a layer of an adhesion assisting agent containing a cresol novolak epoxy resin of the following formula (1):

wherein p denotes 1 to 5, as an indispensable component on the metal foil, said adhesion assisting agent also comprising a polyamide imide which contains (4,4′-diamino)dicyclohexylmethane and siloxane diamine as unit components, wherein the adhesion assisting agent layer has a thickness of 0.1 to 10 μm, wherein the metal foil has a thickness of 5 μm or thinner and has a separable carrier, and wherein a surface of the metal foil has a ten-point average roughness Rz of 2.0 μm or less; forming holes for interlayer connection; carrying out electroless copper plating; forming a resist layer; forming a circuit by pattern-wise electroplating; and removing the resist layer and unneeded portions of an electric power supply layer by etching.

2. The production method of a printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein electroless gold plating is carried out in the outermost layer of the wiring.

3. The production method of a printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein both surfaces of the metal foil have a ten-point average roughness Rz of 2.0 μm or less.

4. The production method of a printed wiring board according to claim 3 , wherein a ten-point average roughness Rz of a surface of the insulating layer is 2.0 μm or less.

5. The production method of a printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein a ten-point average roughness Rz of a surface of the insulating layer is 2.0 μm or less.

6. The production method of a printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the metal foil is a copper foil.

7. The production method of a printed wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesion assisting layer has a thickness of 0.1 to 5 μm.
