Printed circuit board
A printed circuit board according to an embodiment includes an insulating layer; and a via portion disposed on the insulating layer; wherein the via portion includes: a first pad disposed under the insulating layer; a second pad disposed on the insulating layer; and a via part disposed between the first and second pads in the insulating layer; and wherein a width of the first pad is less than or equal to a width of a lower surface of the via part.
1. A circuit board comprising:
an insulating layer including an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface;
a via part passing through the upper and lower surfaces of the insulating layer and having an inclination in which a width decreases in a horizontal direction from the upper surface to the lower surface of the insulating layer; and
a first pad disposed on the lower surface of the insulating layer;
wherein a width of the first pad is smaller than a width of a lower surface of the via part, and
wherein an upper surface of the first pad includes:
a first portion in contact with the through via part; and
a second portion connected to the first portion and in contact with the insulating layer.
2. The circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit pattern disposed on the lower surface of the insulating layer to be spaced apart from the first pad in the horizontal direction and not overlapped with the via part in a thickness direction.
3. The circuit board of claim 2 , wherein a width of the circuit pattern is the same as the width of the first pad.
4. The circuit board of claim 3 , wherein a lower surface of the via part, a lower surface of the first pad, and a lower surface of the circuit pattern are positioned on a same plane.
5. The circuit board of claim 2 ,
wherein the via part includes a plurality of via parts spaced apart from each other in the insulating layer in the horizontal direction, and
wherein a plurality of the circuit patterns are disposed between two via parts disposed adjacent to each other.
6. The circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second pad disposed on the upper surface of the insulating layer and the via part.
7. The circuit board of claim 6 , wherein a width of the second pad is greater than a width of the upper surface of the via part.
8. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein a central portion of the first pad and a central portion of the via part in a thickness direction are disposed to be shifted from each other on a same vertical line.
9. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein a width of an upper surface of the first pad in contact with the via part is greater than a width of an upper surface of the first pad in contact with the insulating layer.
10. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer is formed of a photo-curable resin (PID: Photoimageable dielectics).
11. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein an end of the second portion of the first pad intersects the inclination of the via part in a thickness direction.
