Abstract

A wiring board includes a substrate, a first conductor layer, a second conductor layer, and a through-via conductor. The substrate has a first surface, a second surface, and at least one through-via. The first conductor layer is formed on the first surface, and the second conductor layer is formed on the second surface. The through-via conductor is formed in the through-via for electrically connecting to the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer. The through-via has a first depressed portion exposed in the first surface, a second depressed portion exposed in the second surface, and a tunnel portion between the first depressed portion and the second depressed portion for connecting the first depressed portion and the second depressed portion. The first depressed portion and the second depressed, portion are non-coaxial.

2. The wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein in a side wall of the first depressed portion and a side wall of the tunnel portion intersect to define a first neck portion that lies in a first reference plane, a side wall of the second depressed portion and the side wall of the tunnel portion intersect to define a second neck portion that lies in a second reference plane,

wherein a first angle, which is greater than 45 degrees, is formed between the first reference plane and the side wall of the first depressed portion, and a second angle, which is greater than 45 degrees, is formed between the second reference plane and the side wall of the second depressed portion.

3. The wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein axes of the first depressed portion and the tunnel portion are not parallel to each other, and axes of the second depressed portion and the tunnel portion are not parallel to each other.

4. The wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the side wall of the first depressed portion decreases in diameter from the first surface toward the second surface, while the side wall of the second depressed portion decreases in diameter from the second surface toward the first surface.

5. The wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the first depressed portion has a first depth from the first surface, the second depressed portion has a second depth from the second surface, wherein the sum of the first depth and the second depth is not greater than a vertical distance, which is measured between the first surface and the second surface.

6. The wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the first depressed portion has a first depth from the first surface, the second depressed portion has a second depth, which is not equal to the first depth, from the second surface, wherein the sum of the first depth and the second depth is greater than a vertical distance, which is measured between the first surface and the second surface.

7. A method of manufacturing wiring board comprising:

forming at least one through-via passing through an initial substrate from a first surface of the substrate to an opposing second surface of the substrate, wherein the through-via has a first depressed portion exposed in the first surface, a second depressed portion exposed in the second surface, and a cylindrical tunnel portion between the first depressed portion and the second depressed portion for connecting the first depressed portion and the second depressed portion, wherein the first depressed portion and the second depressed portion are non-coaxial, the first and second depressed portions being formed with corresponding first and second bore axes slanting toward each other at an angle in a range of 5 to 70 degrees, the bore axis of the second depressed portion is substantially perpendicular to the second surface of the substrate, and an internal diameter of the tunnel portion is of substantially constant diameter and less than a diameter of the first depressed portion in the first surface and a diameter of the second depressed portion in the second surface, the first depressed portion being formed with a first opening in the first surface, the second depressed portion being formed with a second opening in the second surface, wherein a vertical projection of a center point of the first opening on the second surface and a center point of the second opening are offset from each other by a distance in a range of 5 micrometer to 40 micrometers;
