Abstract

A manufacturing method for rigid-flexible multi-layer printed circuit board including: a flexible substrate of which circuits are formed on both sides and which is bendable; a rigid substrate which is laminated on the flexible substrate and circuits are formed on both sides and a cavity within which a semiconductor chip is mounted is formed; and a bonding sheet adhering the flexible substrate and the rigid substrate and having a insulating property. When the same numbers of the semiconductor chips are mounted or the POP is embodied, the whole thickness of the package can be lower. Also, two more semiconductor chips can be mounted using the space as the thickness of the core layer, and the structure impossible when the number of semiconductor chip mounted on the bottom substrate becomes two from one in conventional technology can be embodied.
