Metal-clad laminate and printed wiring board
View Patent ↗A metal-clad laminate of the present invention comprises an insulating layer, and a metal layer that is present at least on one surface side of the insulating layer. The insulating layer is a laminate of at least three layers: a center layer, a first resin layer that is present on one surface side of the center layer, and a second resin layer that is present on the other surface side of the center layer. The center layer, the first resin layer and the second resin layer each contain a cured product of a respective resin composition. The elastic modulus of the cured product of the resin composition contained in the center layer is lower than the elastic moduli of both the cured product of the resin composition contained in the first resin layer and the cured product of the resin composition contained in the second resin layer.
1. A metal-clad laminate, comprising:
an insulating layer; and
a first metal layer that is present on one surface of the insulating layer, wherein:
the insulating layer is a laminate of at least a center layer, a first resin layer that is present on one surface of the center layer, and a second resin layer that is present on the other surface of the center layer,
the center layer contains a cured product of a resin composition and a fibrous base material,
the first resin layer and the second resin layer each contain a cured product of a resin composition and do not contain a fibrous base material,
the resin composition of the center layer is a resin composition that contains a thermosetting resin and that is different from the resin compositions of the first resin layer and the second resin layer, and
an elastic modulus of the cured product of the resin composition contained in the center layer, which is measured without the fibrous base material, is lower than elastic moduli of both the cured product of the resin composition contained in the first resin layer and the cured product of the resin composition contained in the second resin layer.
2. The metal-clad laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic modulus of the cured product of the resin composition contained in the first resin layer and the elastic modulus of the cured product of the resin composition contained in the second resin layer each range from 115 to 900% of the elastic modulus of the cured product of the resin composition contained in the center layer.
3. The metal-clad laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the first resin layer and the thickness of the second resin layer each range from 5 to 50% of the thickness of the center layer.
4. The metal-clad laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the thicknesses of the first resin layer and the second resin layer each range from 1 to 25 μm.
5. The metal-clad laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the insulating layer ranges from 5 to 200 μm.
6. The metal-clad laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition of the center layer contains a radical polymerizable thermosetting compound.
7. The metal-clad laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the resin composition of the center layer is a liquid resin composition.
8. The metal-clad laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic modulus of the cured product of the resin composition contained in the first resin layer and the elastic modulus of the cured product of the resin composition contained in the second resin layer each range from 1 to 30 GPa at 25° C.
9. The metal-clad laminate according to claim 1 , wherein a second metal layer is disposed on the other surface of the insulating layer.
10. A printed wiring board, which is obtained through formation of a circuit by partial removal of the first metal layer of the metal-clad laminate according to claim 1 .
