Abstract

A printed circuit board of the present invention includes a base body, a through-hole that penetrates through the base body in the thickness direction, and a through-hole conductor that covers an inner wall of the through-hole. The base body has a fiber layer including a plurality of glass fibers and a resin that covers the plurality of glass fibers. The glass fibers have a groove-shaped concavity on a surface exposed to the inner wall of the through-hole. The concavity is filled with a part of the through-hole conductor.

Claims (21)

1. A printed circuit board comprising a base body, a through-hole that penetrates through the base body in a thickness direction, and a through-hole conductor that covers an inner wall of the through-hole, wherein

the base body has a fiber layer comprising a plurality of glass fibers and a first resin that covers the plurality of glass fibers,

the glass fibers have a groove-shaped concavity on a surface exposed to the inner wall of the through-hole, and

the concavity is filled with a part of the through-hole conductor.

2. The printed circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein a longitudinal direction of the concavity is along the thickness direction of the base body.

3. The printed circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the concavity in a longitudinal direction thereof is 1.2 times or more and 2.5 times or less as large as a length of the concavity in a width direction thereof.

4. The printed circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the glass fibers have an arithmetic average roughness of 0.3 μm or more and 3 μm or less on the surface exposed to the inner wall of the through-hole.

5. A mount structure comprising a printed circuit board according to claim 1 and an electronic component mounted on the printed circuit board and electrically connected to the printed circuit board.

6. A method of producing a printed circuit board comprising:

a step of forming a base body having a fiber layer including a plurality of glass fibers and a first resin that covers the plurality of glass fibers;

a step of forming in the base body a through-hole having a groove-shaped concavity on a surface of the glass fibers exposed to an inner wall by spraying fine particles towards the base body using the sandblast method; and

a step of covering the inner wall of the through-hole with a through-hole conductor.

7. The method of producing a printed circuit board according to claim 6 , wherein the fine particles are crushed particles.

8. The method of producing a printed circuit board according to claim 7 , wherein the fine particles have a hardness larger than that of the glass fibers.

9. The method of producing a printed circuit board according to claim 8 , wherein the fine particles comprise alumina, silicon carbide, or zirconia.

10. The method of producing a printed circuit board according to claim 6 , wherein the base body further has, on the fiber layer, a resin layer comprising a second resin and inorganic insulating particles covered with the second resin.

11. The method of producing a printed circuit board according to claim 10 , wherein the inorganic insulating particles comprise silicon oxide.

12. The method of producing a printed circuit board according to claim 11 , wherein the resin layer contains the inorganic insulating particles at a ratio of 40% by volume or more and 75% by volume or less.

13. The method of producing a printed circuit board according to claim 6 , wherein the step of covering the inner wall of the through-hole with the through-hole conductor is carried out without carrying out a desmearing treatment on the inner wall of the through-hole after carrying out the step of forming the through-hole in the base body.

14. The method of producing a printed circuit board according to claim 13 , wherein the step of covering the inner wall of the through-hole with the through-hole conductor is carried out by the plating method.

15. A method of producing a mount structure comprising a step of electrically connecting an electronic component to a printed circuit board fabricated by the production method according to claim 6 .
