Abstract

Electrical coupling high in reliability without using an adhesive layer is disclosed by stacking a plurality of laminates ( 30 ) including a first insulating substrate ( 14 ), a metal layer ( 18 ) formed on a first surface ( 14 a ) of the first insulating substrate ( 14 ) to have a pattern, a second insulating substrate ( 20 ( 40 )) stacked in a place of the first surface ( 14 a ) where the metal layer ( 18 ) is not disposed so as to have a same thickness as the metal layer ( 18 ), a third insulating substrate ( 22 ) stacked on a second surface ( 14 b ) at an opposite side to the first surface ( 14 a ) of the first insulating substrate ( 14 ), and a via ( 26 ) formed from a surface at an opposite side to the first insulating substrate ( 14 ) side of the third insulating substrate ( 22 ) until the via ( 26 ) reaches the metal layer ( 18 ).
