Printed circuit board and manufacturing method thereof
A printed circuit board and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The method of manufacturing a printed circuit board including a connecting layer configured to which is configured to electrically connect both sides of an insulator, and a pad part, electrically connect both sides of an insulator, and a pad part formed in one side of the insulator to be directly in contact with the connecting layer, includes: forming a seed layer part on one side of the insulator, a portion of the seed layer part being bulged, forming a via hole by processing the other side of the insulator, corresponding to the bulged portion of the seed layer part, forming the connecting layer inside the via hole, and forming a plating layer, corresponding to the pad part, on the seed layer part. A pattern having a finer pitch, maintaining a VOP structure, can be formed and a lower side of a substrate is not penetrated through when a via hole is processed.
1. A printed circuit board, comprising:
an insulator;
a connecting layer configured to electrically connect both sides of the insulator; and
a pad part formed on one side of the insulator to be directly in contact with the connecting layer,
wherein the pad part comprises:
a seed layer part, wherein the seed layer part is formed on one side of the insulator to be directly in contact with the connecting layer and the seed layer part includes a protruded portion such that the protruded portion corresponding to the connecting layer is bulged; and
a plating layer formed on the seed layer part.
2. The printed circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising a surface-treatment layer being formed on the plating layer.
3. The printed circuit board of claim 1 , wherein an area of the bulged portion is equal to or greater than a cross-section of the connecting layer that is in contact with the seed layer part.
4. A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board including a connecting layer and a pad part, wherein the connecting layer is configured to electrically connect both sides of an insulator, and the pad part is formed on one side of the insulator to be directly in contact with the connecting layer, the method comprising:
forming a seed layer part on one side of the insulator, wherein a portion of the seed layer part is bulged;
forming a via hole by processing the other side of the insulator, corresponding to the bulged portion of the seed layer part;
forming the connecting layer inside the via hole; and
forming a plating layer on the seed layer part, the plating layer corresponding to the pad part.
5. The method of claim of 4 , further comprising forming a surface-treatment layer on the plating layer.
6. The method of claim of 4 , wherein an area of the bulged portion of the seed layer part is equal to or greater than a cross-section of the connecting layer that is in contact with the seed layer part.
