Embodiment

FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional view of a printed wiring board according to an embodiment.

A printed wiring board 10 has a core substrate 30 having a first surface (F) and a second surface (S) on an opposite side with respect to the first surface (F), a first build-up layer (Bu1) formed on the first surface (F) of the core substrate 30, a second build-up layer (Bu2) formed on the second surface (S) of the core substrate 30, a first solder resist layer (70F) formed on the first build-up layer (Bu1), and a second solder resist layer (70S) formed on the second build-up layer (Bu2).

The core substrate 30 has a core layer 20, a first conductor layer (34F) formed on the first surface (F) of the core layer 20, and a second conductor layer (34S) formed on the second surface (S) of the core layer 20. The core substrate further has through-hole conductors 36 respectively formed in through holes 28 penetrating the core layer 20. The core layer 20 is formed of a resin such as an epoxy resin and a reinforcing material such as a glass cloth. The core layer may further contain inorganic particles such as silica particles. The first conductor layer (34F) and the second conductor layer (34S) are connected to each other via the through-hole conductors 36. The through-hole conductors 36 are formed by filling the through holes 28 with an electrolytic plating film.

The first build-up layer (Bu1) includes a first resin insulating layer (50F) formed on the first surface (F) of the core substrate 30 and on the first conductor layer (34F), an inner side first conductor layer (58F) formed on the first resin insulating layer (50F), a third resin insulating layer (150F) formed on the first resin insulating layer (50F) and on the inner side first conductor layer (58F), an inner side third conductor layer (158F) formed on the third resin insulating layer (150F), an outermost first resin insulating layer (250F) formed on the third resin insulating layer (150F) and on the inner side third conductor layer (158F), and an outermost first conductor layer (258F) formed on the outermost first resin insulating layer (250F). The first build-up layer further has via conductors (60F, 160F, 260F) respectively penetrating the resin insulating layers (50F, 150F, 250F).

The first conductor layer (34F) and the inner side first conductor layer (58F) are connected to each other via the first via conductors (60F) penetrating the first resin insulating layer (50F). The inner side first conductor layer (58F) and the inner side third conductor layer (158F) are connected to each other via the third via conductors (160F) penetrating the third resin insulating layer (150F). The inner side third conductor layer (158F) and the outermost first conductor layer (258F) are connected to each other via the outermost first via conductors (260F) penetrating the outermost first resin insulating layer (250F). The first solder resist layer (70F) having first openings (71F) is formed on the outermost first resin insulating layer (250F) and on the outermost first conductor layer (258F). The outermost first conductor layer (258F) exposed from the first openings (71F) forms first pads (73F) for mounting an electronic component.

The second build-up layer (Bu2) includes a second resin insulating layer (50S) formed on the second surface (S) of the core substrate 30 and on the second conductor layer (34S), an inner side second conductor layer (58S) formed on the second resin insulating layer (50S), a fourth resin insulating layer (150S) formed on the second resin insulating layer (50S) and on the inner side second conductor layer (58S), an inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) formed on the fourth resin insulating layer (150S), an outermost second resin insulating layer (250S) formed on the fourth resin insulating layer (150S) and on the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S), and an outermost second conductor layer (258S) formed on the outermost second resin insulating layer (250S). The second build-up layer (Bu2) further has via conductors (60S, 160S, 260S) respectively penetrating the resin insulating layers (50S, 150S, 250S). The second conductor layer (34S) and the inner side second conductor layer (58S) are connected to each other via the second via conductors (60S) penetrating the second resin insulating layer (50S). The inner side second conductor layer (58S) and the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) are connected to each other via the fourth via conductors (160S) penetrating the fourth resin insulating layer (150S). The inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) and the outermost second conductor layer (258S) are connected to each other via the outermost second via conductors (260S) penetrating the outermost second resin insulating layer (250S). The second solder resist layer (70S) having second openings (71S) is formed on the outermost second resin insulating layer (250S) and on the outermost second conductor layer (258S). The outermost second conductor layer (258S) exposed from the second openings (71S) forms second pads (73S) for connecting to a motherboard or an electronic component.

The first resin insulating layer (50F), the second resin insulating layer (50S), the third resin insulating layer (150F), the fourth resin insulating layer (150S), the outermost first resin insulating layer (250F), and the outermost second resin insulating layer (250S) are each formed of a resin such as an epoxy resin, a reinforcing material such as a glass cloth, and inorganic particles such as silica particles.

The through holes 28 of the core substrate 30 are each formed by a first opening (28F) tapering from the first surface (F) toward the second surface (S) and a second opening (28S) tapering from the second surface (S) toward the first surface (F). The first opening (28F) and the second opening (28S) are connected to each other in the core layer 20. The through holes 28 or the through-hole conductors 36 each have a joining area (28P) at a joining place between the first opening (28F) and the second opening (28S). The joining area (28P) is illustrated in FIG. 2B. In FIG. 2B, oblique lines are drawn in the joining area (28P). An outer periphery of the joining area (28P) is referred to as a neck part (28C). In the embodiment, the joining area (28P) is formed at a substantially central portion of each of the through holes 28. Therefore, when the through-hole conductors 36 are respectively formed in the through holes 28 by plating, voids are unlikely to remain at central portions of the through holes 28. Connection reliability via the through-hole conductors 36 can be increased.

The first conductor layer (34F) has first through-hole lands (36F) respectively formed directly on the through-hole conductors 36. The first through-hole lands (36F) are respectively integrally formed with the through-hole conductors 36. Further, the first through-hole lands (36F) respectively extend on the first surface (F) of the core layer 20 so as to surround the through-hole conductors 36.

The second conductor layer (34S) has second through-hole lands (36S) respectively formed directly on the through-hole conductors 36. The second through-hole lands (36S) are respectively integrally formed with the through-hole conductors 36. Further, the second through-hole lands (36S) respectively extend on the second surface (S) of the core layer 20 so as to surround the through-hole conductors 36. The first through-hole lands (36F) and the second through-hole lands (36S) respectively extend directly from the through-hole conductors 36. Through-hole structures are formed by the through-hole conductors 36, the first through-hole lands (36F) and the second through-hole lands (36S).

Since the through-hole conductors 36 are respectively integrally formed with the through-hole lands (36F, 36S), connection reliability between the through-hole conductors 36 and the first conductor layer (34F) and connection reliability between the through-hole conductors 36 and the second conductor layer (34S) can be increased.

The first surface (F) of the core substrate 30 and the first surface (F) of the core layer 20 are the same surface, and the second surface (S) of the core substrate 30 and the second surface (S) of the core layer 20 are the same surface.

The conductor layers (34F, 58F, 158F, 258F, 34S, 58S, 158S, 258S) are each formed by a metal foil, a seed layer on the metal foil, and an electrolytic plating film on the seed layer. An example of a metal foil is copper foil, an example of a seed layer is an electroless copper plating film, and an example of an electrolytic plating film is an electrolytic copper plating film. Metal foils respectively have mat surfaces between the core layer 20 and the conductor layers (34F, 34S). Via the mat surfaces, the core layer 20 and the conductor layers (34F, 34S) are bonded to each other. Further, metal foils respectively have mat surfaces between the resin insulating layers (50F, 150F, 250F, 50S, 150S, 250S) and the conductor layers (58F, 158F, 258F, 58S, 158S, 258S). Via the mat surfaces, the resin insulating layers (50F, 150F, 250F, 50S, 150S, 250S) and the conductor layers (58F, 158F, 258F, 58S, 158S, 258S) are bonded to each other.

Via the unevenness of the first mat surface (32tfm) of the first metal foil (tf), the first through-hole lands (36F) are bonded to the core layer 20. Further, the printed wiring board of the embodiment has first via structures (60Ft) respectively formed directly on the through-hole structures. The first via structures (60Ft) are formed by the first via conductors (60F), and first via lands (60FR) of first via conductors respectively directly connected to the first via conductors (60F). The first via lands (60FR) have the inner side first metal foil (32sf). And, via the unevenness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf), the first via lands (60FR) are bonded to the first resin insulating layer (50F).

The size (depth) of the unevenness of the first mat surface (32tfm) of the first metal foil (tf) is larger than the size (depth) of the unevenness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf). The inner side first mat surface (32sfm) is a mat surface having a small roughness, and the first mat surface (32tfm) is a mat surface having a large roughness. Therefore, for example, an adhesion strength between the first through-hole lands (36F) and the core layer 20 is higher than an adhesion strength between the first via lands (60FR) and the first resin insulating layer 50. When the printed wiring board of the embodiment is manufactured, the first resin insulating layer (50F) and the second resin insulating layer (50S) are laminated on the core substrate 30 having the through-hole conductors 36. During the manufacturing, an external force such as a pressure acts on the printed wiring board. The mat surfaces (32sfm, 32ssm) of the metal foils (32sf, 32ss) are respectively formed in the resin insulating layers (50F, 50S). The mat surfaces (32sfm, 32ssm) are respectively pressed into the resin insulating layers (50F, 50S). Therefore, the printed wiring board is thought to have a residual stress inside the printed wiring board. For example, it is expected that the larger are the depths (sizes) of the unevennesses of the mat surfaces of the metal foils, the larger is the stress accumulated in the printed wiring board. Further, when the via conductors (60F, 60S) are respectively formed directly on the through-hole structures, a stress inside the printed wiring board is presumably transmitted to the through-hole structures via the via conductors (60F, 60S). Due to the stress transmitted to the through-hole structures via the via conductors (60F, 60S), the through-hole conductors presumably peel off from the core layer. Reliability of the through-hole conductors 36 from the neck parts (28C) presumably decreases.

However, in the printed wiring board of the embodiment, since the unevenness of the mat surface (32sfm) of the first via lands (60FR) is small, it is thought that the residual stress can be reduced. For example, in the printed wiring board of the embodiment, the depth (size) of the unevenness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf) forming the via lands (60FR) of the first via structures (60Ft) respectively positioned directly above the through-hole structures is smaller than the depth (size) of the unevenness of the first mat surface (32tfm) of the first metal foil (tf) forming the first through-hole lands (36F) of the through-hole structures. When the depth (size) of the unevenness of the mat surface of the metal foil forming the via lands is small, the magnitude of the stress transmitted to the through-hole structures is thought to be reduced. Then, since the depth (size) of the unevenness of the first mat surface (32tfm) of the first metal foil (tf) forming the first through-hole lands (36F) is large, even when the stress is transmitted to the through-hole conductors 36 via the first via structures (60Ft), the through-hole conductors 36 are thought to be unlikely to peel off from the core layer 20. Therefore, a defect such as reduction in connection reliability or peeling of a conductor layer is unlikely to occur.

In the embodiment, the size (depth) of the unevenness of the first mat surface (32tfm) of the first metal foil (tf) is larger than the size (depth) of the unevenness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf). Therefore, even when a stress that occurs due to that the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf) forming the first via lands (60FR) is formed in the first resin insulating layer (50F) is transmitted to the interface between the first metal foil (tf) forming the first through-hole lands (36F) and the core layer 20, the stress is thought to be smaller than the bonding strength between the first through-hole lands (36F) and the core layer 20. Therefore, it is thought that through-hole structures will not peel off from the core layer.

The through-hole conductors 36 of the embodiment each have the neck part (28C). Further, the through-hole conductors 36 are positioned substantially at a center in a thickness direction of the printed wiring board. Therefore, a stress is thought to concentrate on the through-hole conductors. And, the stress is thought to be released in a form of heat or the like. Due to the concentration of the stress and the release of the stress, it is expected that the through-hole conductors 36 are likely to peel off from the core layer. Presumably, the reliability of the through-hole conductors from the neck parts (28C) is likely to decrease. However, the through-hole lands (36F, 36S) respectively directly connected to the through-hole conductors 36 are bonded to the core layer 20 via the mat surfaces (32tfm, 32tsm) each having a relatively large unevenness. Therefore, the through-hole conductors of the embodiment are unlikely to peel off from the core layer 20. Further, the connection reliability via the through-hole conductors is unlikely to decrease.

When the unevenness (roughness) of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf) forming the first via lands (60FR) of the first via structures (60Ft) is small (shallow), even when the stress released from the through-hole structures is transmitted to the first via lands (60FR) of the first via structures (60Ft), the stress is unlikely to reach a deep portion of the first resin insulating layer (50F.). Therefore, a crack is unlikely to occur in the first resin insulating layer (50F). For example, when the roughness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf) forming the first via lands (60FR) is smaller than the roughness of the first mat surface (32tfm) of the first metal foil (tf) forming the through-hole lands (36F), occurrence of a crack can be effectively prevented. When the roughness of the mat surface of the metal foil forming the via lands included in an inner side conductor layer is smaller than the roughness of the mat surface of the metal foil forming the through-hole lands, the same effect can be expected. Further, when the roughness of the mat surface of the metal foil forming the via lands included in an inner side conductor layer is smaller than the roughness of the mat surface of the metal foil forming an outermost conductor layer, the same effect can be expected.

The core substrate 30 is positioned at a center in the thickness direction of the printed wiring board. Therefore, a stress is thought to concentrate on the core substrate. When the size of the unevenness of the inner side first met surface (32sfm) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf) forming the first via lands (60FR) is larger than the size of the unevenness of the first mat surface (32tfm) of the first metal foil (tf) forming the first through-hole lands (36F), the magnitude of the stress that occurs due to that the inner side first mat surface of the inner side first metal foil (32sf) forming the first via lands (60FR) is formed in the first resin insulating layer (50F) is expected to exceed the adhesion strength between the first through-hole lands and the core layer. In this case, the through-hole lands are expected to peel off from the core layer.

When a residual stress is released, for example, the stress is transmitted to the outermost conductor layers (258F, 258S) via the through-hole conductors and the via conductors. Due to the stress, it is thought that peeling occurs between the outermost conductor layers (258F, 258S and the outermost resin insulating layers (250F, 250S). However, in the printed wiring board of the embodiment, the size of the unevenness of the outermost first mat surface (32ufm) of the outermost first metal foil (32uf) forming the outermost first conductor layer (258F) is larger than the size of the unevenness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf) forming the inner side first conductor layer (58F). Therefore, peeling is unlikely to occur between the outermost first conductor layer and the outermost first resin insulating layer. When the size of the unevenness of the mat surface of a metal foil forming at least one inner side conductor layer in the first build-up layer (Bu1) is smaller than the size of the unevenness of the mat surface of the metal foil forming the outermost first conductor layer, it is thought that the same effect can be obtained. Similarly, when the size of the unevenness of the mat surface of a metal foil forming at least one inner side conductor layer in the second build-up layer (Bu2) is smaller than the size of the unevenness of the mat surface of the metal foil forming the outermost second conductor layer, it is thought that the same effect can be obtained.

The roughness (Rz1) of the first mat surface (32tfm) of the first metal foil (tf) forming the first conductor layer (34F) and the roughness (RzO1) of the outermost first mat surface (32ufm) of the outermost first metal foil (32uf) forming the outermost first conductor layer (258F) are substantially equal to each other. For example, a ratio (R1) (Rz1/RzO1) is 0.9 or more and 1.1 or less. In this case, a crack is unlikely to occur from the outermost first mat surface (32ufm) of the outermost first metal foil (32uf) forming the outermost first conductor layer (258F) to the outermost first resin insulating layer (250F).

The roughness (Rz2) of the second mat surface (32tsm) of the second metal foil (ts) forming the second conductor layer (34S) and the roughness (RzO2) of the outermost second mat surface (32usm) of the outermost second metal foil (32us) forming the outermost second conductor layer (258S) are substantially equal to each other. For example, a ratio (R2) (Rz2/RzO2) is 0.9 or more and 1.1 or less. In this case, a crack is unlikely to occur from the outermost second mat surface (32usm) of the outermost second metal foil (32us) forming the outermost second conductor layer (258S) to the outermost second resin insulating layer (250S).

The first conductor layer (34F) has a thickness (Tf). The second conductor layer (34S) has a thickness (Ts). The inner side first conductor layer (58F) has a thickness (Sf). The inner side second conductor layer (58S) has a thickness (Ss). The inner side third conductor layer (158F) has a thickness (Gf). The inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) has a thickness (Gs). The outermost first conductor layer (258F) has a thickness (Uf). The outermost second conductor layer (258S) has a thickness (Us).

The thickness of a conductor layer is preferably related to the roughness of the mat surface. When the roughness (unevenness) of the mat surface is large, the thickness of the conductor layer is large. Conversely, when the roughness (unevenness) of the mat surface is small, the thickness of the conductor layer is small. The thickness of a conductor layer formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a large roughness is larger than the thickness of a conductor layer formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a small roughness. As a result, for example, high-speed transmission becomes possible. When the roughness of a mat surface is small, a resistance due to a skin effect is small. Therefore, even when the thickness of a conductor layer is small, high-speed transmission becomes possible. When the roughness of a mat surface is large, the resistance due to a skin effect is large. However, when the thickness of a conductor layer is large, a resistance of the conductor layer is small. Therefore, high-speed transmission becomes possible. A difference between a speed of data transmitted by a conductor layer having a large thickness and a speed of data transmitted by a conductor layer having a small thickness can be reduced. When the printed wiring board has a conductor layer having a large thickness, a strength of the printed wiring board can be increased. Warpage of the printed wiring board can be reduced.

For example, the size of the roughness of the first mat surface (32tfm), the size of the roughness of the second mat surface (32tsm), the size of the roughness of the outermost first mat surface (32um) and the size of the roughness of the outermost second mat surface (32usm) are substantially equal to each other. Then, when the size of the roughness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) is smaller than the size of the roughness of the first mat surface (32tfm), the thickness (Sf) is smaller than the thickness (Tf). The thickness (Tf), the thickness (Ts), the thickness (Uf) and the thickness (Us) are substantially equal to each other. Further, when the size of the roughness of the inner side second mat surface (32ssm) is smaller than the size of the roughness of the first mat surface (32tfm), the thickness (Ss) is smaller than the thickness (Tf). Then, for example, the size of the roughness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) and the size of the roughness of the inner side second mat surface (32ssm) are substantially equal to each other. the thickness (Sf) and the thickness (Ss) are substantially equal to each other. Further, when the size of the roughness of the inner side third mat surface (32gfm) and the size of the roughness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm) are substantially equal, the thickness (Gf) is smaller than the thickness (Tf). Then, the thickness (Gf) and the thickness (Sf) are substantially equal to each other. Further, when the size of the roughness of the inner side fourth mat surface (32gsm) and the size of the roughness of the inner side second mat surface (32ssm) are substantially equal to each other, the thickness (Gs) is smaller than the thickness (Tf). Then, the thickness (Gs) and the thickness (Ss) are substantially equal to each other.

When the size of roughness of the inner side third mat surface (32gfm) is larger than the size of the roughness of the inner side first mat surface (32sfm), the thickness (Gf) is larger than the thickness (Sf). Further, the thickness (Gf) and the thickness (Tf) are substantially equal to each other. In this case, the size of the roughness of the inner side third mat surface (32gfm) is substantially equal to the size of the roughness of the first mat surface (32tfm).

When the size of the roughness of the inner side fourth mat surface (32gsm) is larger than the size of the roughness of the inner side second mat surface (32ssm), the thickness (Gs) is larger than the thickness (Ss). Further, the thickness (Gs) and the thickness (Tf) are substantially equal to each other. In this case, the size of the roughness of the inner side fourth mat surface (32gsm) is substantially equal to the size of the roughness of the first mat surface (32tfm).

In this way, the thickness of a conductor layer having a mat surface having a relatively small roughness is smaller than the thickness of a conductor layer having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness. When the first build-up layer (Bu1) includes multiple inner side conductor layers, the first build-up layer (Bu1) is formed by one or more conductor layers each having a mat surface having a relatively small roughness and one or more conductor layers each having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness. Similarly, when the second build-up layer (Bu2 includes multiple inner side conductor layers, the second build-up layer (Bu2 is formed by one or more conductor layers each having a mat surface having a relatively small roughness and one or more conductor layers each having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness.

The thickness of a metal foil forming a conductor layer preferably relates to the size of the roughness of the mat surface. When the size of the roughness of the mat surface is large, the thickness of the metal foil is large. Conversely, when the size of the roughness of the mat surface is small, the thickness of the metal foil is small. The thickness of a metal foil having a mat surface having a large roughness is larger than the thickness of a metal foil having a mat surface having a small roughness. As a result, for example, high-speed transmission becomes possible. When the roughness of a mat surface is small, a resistance due to a skin effect is small. Therefore, even when the thickness of a metal foil is small, high-speed transmission becomes possible. When the roughness of a mat surface is large, the resistance due to a skin effect is large. However, since the thickness of the metal foil is large, high-speed transmission becomes possible. When the printed wiring board has a metal foil having a large thickness, the strength of the printed wiring board can be increased. Warpage of the printed wiring board can be reduced.

The thickness of a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively small roughness is smaller than the thickness of a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness. When the first build-up layer (Bu1) includes multiple inner side conductor layers, the first build-up layer (Bu1) is formed by one or more conductor layers each including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively small roughness and one or more conductor layers each including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness. Similarly, when the second build-up layer (Bu2) includes multiple inner side conductor layers, the second build-up layer (Bu2) is formed by one or more conductor layers each including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively small roughness and one or more conductor layers each including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness.

The thickness of an electrolytic plating film forming a conductor layer relates to the size of the roughness of the mat surface. When the size of the roughness of the mat surface is large, the thickness of the electrolytic plating film is small. Conversely, when the size of the roughness of the mat surface is small, the thickness of the electrolytic plating film is large. The thickness of an electrolytic plating film formed on a metal foil having a mat surface having a large roughness is smaller than the thickness of an electrolytic plating film formed on a metal foil having a mat surface having a small roughness.

A thickness of the first electrolytic plating film (44tf) forming the first conductor layer (34F) is a thickness (t1), and a thickness of the second electrolytic plating film (44ts) forming the second conductor layer (34S) is a thickness (t2). A thickness of the inner side first electrolytic plating film (44sf) forming the inner side first conductor layer (58F) is a thickness (s1), and a thickness of the inner side second electrolytic plating film (44ss) forming the inner side second conductor layer (58S) is a thickness (s2). A thickness of the inner side third electrolytic plating film (44gf) forming the inner side third conductor layer (158F) is a thickness (g1), and a thickness of the inner side fourth electrolytic plating film (44gs) forming the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) is a thickness (g2). A thickness of the outermost first electrolytic plating film (44uf) forming the outermost first conductor layer (258F) is a thickness (u1), and a thickness of the outermost second electrolytic plating film (44us) forming the outermost second conductor layer (258S) is a thickness (u2).

For the conductor layers (34F, 34S) of the core substrate and the outermost conductor layers (258F, 258S), a ratio ((the thickness of the electrolytic plating film)/(the thickness of the metal foil)) is smaller than 1.

Among the inner side conductor layers formed in the first build-up layer (Bu1), for at least one inner side conductor layer, the ratio ((the thickness of the electrolytic plating film)/(the thickness of the metal foil)) is larger than 1. Among the inner side conductor layers formed in the first build-up layer (Bu1), for at least one inner side conductor layer, the ratio ((the thickness of the electrolytic plating film)/(the thickness of the metal foil)) is smaller than 1.

Among the inner side conductor layers formed in the second build-up layer (Bu2), for at least one inner side conductor layer, the ratio ((the thickness of the electrolytic plating film)/(the thickness of the metal foil)) is larger than 1. Among the inner side conductor layers formed in the second build-up layer (Bu2), for at least one inner side conductor layer, the ratio ((the thickness of the electrolytic plating film)/(the thickness of the metal foil)) is smaller than 1.

For example, a ratio (t1/T1) of the thickness (t1) of the first electrolytic plating film (44tf) to the thickness (T1) of the first metal foil (tf) is smaller than 1. A ratio (t2/T2) of the thickness (t2) of the second electrolytic plating film (44ts) to the thickness (T2) of the second metal foil (ts) is smaller than 1. A ratio (u1/U1) of the thickness (u1) of the outermost first electrolytic plating film (44uf) to the thickness (U1) of the outermost first metal foil (32uf) is smaller than 1. A ratio (u2/U2) of the thickness (u2) of the outermost second electrolytic plating film (44us) to the thickness (U2) of the outermost second metal foil (32us) is smaller than 1. A ratio (s1/S1) of the thickness (s1) of the inner side first electrolytic plating film (44sf) to the thickness (S1) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf) is larger than 1. A ratio (s2/S2) of the thickness (s2) of the inner side second electrolytic plating film (44ss) to the thickness (S2) of the inner side second metal foil (32ss) is larger than 1.

The printed wiring board 10 of the embodiment includes conductor layers each including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively small roughness, and conductor layers each including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness. Then, the conductor layers each include a metal foil on the core layer or on a resin insulating layer, and an electrolytic plating film on the metal foil. For a conductor layer including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively small roughness, a ratio ((the thickness of the electrolytic plating film)/(the thickness of the metal foil)) of the thickness of the electrolytic plating film to the thickness of the metal foil is larger than 1. Further, for a conductor layer including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness, the ratio ((the thickness of the electrolytic plating film)/(the thickness of the metal foil)) of the thickness of the electrolytic plating film to the thickness of the metal foil is smaller than 1.

For example, in the printed wiring board illustrated in FIG. 2A, the inner side first metal foil (32sf) and the inner side second metal foil (32ss) each have a mat surface having a relatively small roughness, and the other metal foils (tf, 32ts, 32gf, 32gs, 32uf, 32us) each have a mat surface having a relatively large roughness. In this case, the thickness (S1) of the inner side first metal foil (32sf) and the thickness (S2) of the inner side second metal foil (32ss) are substantially equal to each other. Further, the thickness (S1) and the thickness (S2) are smaller than the thicknesses (T1, T2, G1, G2, U1, U2) of the other metal foils (tf, 32ts, 32gf, 32gs, 32uf, 32us).

For example, in the printed wiring board illustrated in FIG. 2A, the inner side first metal foil (32sf), the inner side second metal foil (32ss), the inner side third metal foil (32gf) and the inner side fourth metal foil (32gs) each have a mat surface having a relatively small roughness, and the other metal foils (tf, 32ts, 32uf, 32us) each have a mat surface having a relatively large roughness. In this case, the thickness (S1), the thickness (S2), the thickness (G1) and the thickness (G2) are substantially equal to each other. Further, the thickness (S1), the thickness (S2), the thickness (G1) and the thickness (G2) are smaller than the thicknesses (T1, T2, U1, U2) of the other metal foils (tf, 32ts, 32uf, 32us).

In the printed wiring board of the embodiment, since the thickness (Uf) of the outermost first conductor layer (258F) and the thickness (Us) of the outermost second conductor layer (258S) are large, the thickness (U1) of the outermost first metal foil (32uf) forming the outermost first conductor layer (258F) and the thickness (U2) of the outermost second metal foil (32us) forming the outermost second conductor layer (258S) can be increased. As a result, the size of the roughness of the mat surface of the outermost first metal foil (32uf) and the size of the roughness of the mat surface of the outermost second metal foil (32us) can be increased. Therefore, the adhesion strength between the outermost first resin insulating layer (250F) and the outermost first metal foil (32uf) and the adhesion strength between the outermost second resin insulating layer (250S) and the outermost second metal foil (32us) can be increased. Therefore, mounting reliability of an electronic component mounted on the outermost first conductor layer (258F) or the outermost second conductor layer (258S) can be increased.

Further, the thickness of at least one inner side conductor layer in the first build-up layer (Bu1) is smaller than the thicknesses of the conductor layers of the core substrate and the thicknesses of the outermost conductor layers. Further, the thickness of at least one inner side conductor layer in the second build-up layer (Bu2) is smaller than the thicknesses of the conductor layers of the core substrate and the thicknesses of the outermost conductor layers. For example, the thickness of the inner side first conductor layer (58F), the thickness of the inner side second conductor layer (58S), the thickness of the inner side third conductor layer (158F) and the thickness of the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) are smaller than the thicknesses of the conductor layers of the core substrate and the thicknesses of the outermost conductor layers. Therefore, fine wirings can be formed in the inner side first conductor layer (58F), the inner side second conductor layer (58S), the inner side third conductor layer (158F) and the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S). A printed wiring board having a high wiring density can be provided. A small printed wiring board can be provided.

The core substrate 30 is positioned at the center of the printed wiring board 10 in the thickness direction. Therefore, a large thermal stress is thought to act on the conductor layers forming the core substrate. Therefore, due to heat cycles, the first conductor layer (34F) or the second conductor layer (34S) is likely to peel off from the core layer. However, in the printed wiring board of the embodiment, the thickness (Tf) of the first conductor layer (34F) and the thickness (Ts) of the second conductor layer (34S) are large. Therefore, the thickness (T1) of the first metal foil (tf) forming the first conductor layer (34F) and the thickness (T2) of the second metal foil (ts) forming the second conductor layer (34S) can be increased. The roughness of the mat surface of the first metal foil (tf) and the roughness of the mat surface of the second metal foil (ts) can be increased. As a result, the adhesion strength between the core layer 20 and the first conductor layer (34F) can be increased. The adhesion strength between the core layer 20 and the second conductor layer (34S) can be increased. Even when the printed wiring board 10 is subjected to heat cycles, the first conductor layer (34F) and the second conductor layer (34S) are unlikely to peel off from the core layer.

The printed wiring board 10 of the embodiment has conductor layers each having a relatively large thickness and conductor layers each having a relatively small thickness. The conductor layers are classified into conductor layers each having a relatively large thickness and conductor layers each having a relatively small thickness. For example, the thicknesses of the conductor layers belonging to the conductor layers each having a relatively large thickness are substantially equal to each other. For example, the thicknesses of the conductor layers belonging to the conductor layers each having a relatively small thickness are substantially equal to each other.

The conductor layers of the printed wiring board 10 of the embodiment include conductor layers each having a first type metal foil and conductor layers each having a second type metal foil. A size of an unevenness forming a mat surface of a first type metal foil is larger than a size of an unevenness forming a mat surface of a second type metal foil. A first type metal foil has a mat surface having a relatively large roughness. A second type metal foil has a mat surface having a relatively small roughness. For example, in the printed wiring board 10 of the embodiment, a metal foil forming a conductor layer is classified as a first type metal foil or a second type metal foil. The printed wiring board 10 of the embodiment has conductor layers each including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness, and conductor layers each including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively small roughness. The thicknesses of the conductor layers each including a first type metal foil are substantially equal to each other. The thicknesses of the conductor layers each including a second type metal foil are substantially equal to each other. A size of an unevenness of a mat surface of a first type metal foil is 3.0 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less. A size of an unevenness of a mat surface of a second type metal foil is 1.0 μm or more and 2.5 μm or less.

For example, the first conductor layer (34F), the second conductor layer (34S), the outermost first conductor layer (258F) and the outermost second conductor layer (258S) belong to the conductor layers each having a relatively large thickness. At least one of the inner side conductor layers in the first build-up layer (Bu1) belongs to the conductor layers each having a relatively small thickness. Further, at least one of the inner side conductor layers in the second build-up layer (Bu2) belongs to the conductor layers each having a relatively small thickness. A ratio (RTT) of the thickness of a conductor layer having a relatively large thickness to the thickness of a conductor layer having a relatively small thickness is 1.2 or more and 3 or less. When the ratio (RTT) is less than 1.2, the adhesion strength cannot be significantly improved. When the ratio (RTT) exceeds 3, the change in the adhesion strength becomes small.

For example, in the printed wiring board 10 illustrated in FIG. 2A, the inner side first conductor layer (58F), the inner side second conductor layer (58S), the inner side third conductor layer (158F) and the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) belong to the conductor layers each having a relatively small thickness. In this example, the ratio (RTT) is 1.2 or more and 1.8 or less.

In the embodiment, the thickness (Uf) of the outermost first conductor layer (258F) and the thickness (Us) of the outermost second conductor layer (258S) are large. Therefore, the printed wiring board 10 is reinforced by these outermost conductor layers. The printed wiring board is reinforced by the conductor layers positioned outermost. Therefore, warpage of the printed wiring board can be reduced. Connection reliability between the first conductor layer (34F) and the second conductor layer (34S) via the through-hole conductors 36 can be increased.

Since the thickness (Tf) of the first conductor layer (34F) and the thickness (Ts) of the second conductor layer (34S) are large, the strength of the core substrate 30 can be increased. Therefore, a stress acting on the through-hole conductors 36 can be reduced. Connection reliability between the first conductor layer (34F) and the second conductor layer (34S) via the through-hole conductors 36 can be increased.

For example, the thickness (Sf) of the inner side first conductor layer (58F), the thickness (Ss) of the inner side second conductor layer (58S), the thickness (Gf) of the inner side third conductor layer (158F), and the thickness (Gs) of the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) are small. Or, for example, the thickness (Sf) of the inner side first conductor layer (58F) and the thickness (Ss) of the inner side second conductor layer (58S) are relatively small, and the thickness (Gf) of the inner side third conductor layer (158F) and the thickness (Gs) of the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) are relatively large. Or, for example, the thickness (Sf) of the inner side first conductor layer (58F) and the thickness (Ss) of the inner side second conductor layer (58S) are relatively large, and the thickness (Gf) of the inner side third conductor layer (158F) and the thickness (Gs) of the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S) are relatively small. When the inner side conductor layers include conductor layers each having a relatively small thickness, fine conductor circuits can be formed in the inner side conductor layers. The number of the conductor layers and the number of the resin insulating layers can be reduced. The number of the via conductors laminated directly on the through-hole conductors 36 can be reduced. Therefore, a stress acting on the through-hole conductors 36 can be reduced. Connection reliability between the first conductor layer (34F) and the second conductor layer (34S) via the through-hole conductors 36 can be increased.

For a conductor layer having a relatively large thickness, the thickness of the metal foil forming the conductor layer is larger than the thickness of the electrolytic plating film forming the conductor layer. For a conductor layer including a metal foil having a mat surface having a relatively large roughness, the thickness of the metal foil forming the conductor layer is larger than the thickness of the electrolytic plating film forming the conductor layer.

For example, for each of the first conductor layer (34F), the second conductor layer (34S), the outermost first conductor layer (258F) and the outermost second conductor layer (258S), the thickness of the metal foil forming the conductor layer is larger than the thickness of the electrolytic plating film forming the conductor layer. Therefore, variation in the thickness of each of these conductor layers can be reduced. The thickness of each of these conductor layers can be made uniform. This is because variation in the thickness of the metal foil is smaller than variation in the thickness of the electrolytic plating film. Since variation in the thickness of each of the outermost conductor layers is small, for example, flatness of a surface on which an electronic component is mounted or flatness of a surface for connecting to another circuit substrate can be increased. Therefore, connection reliability between the printed wiring board of the embodiment and the electronic component or connection reliability between the printed wiring board of the embodiment and the other circuit substrate can be increased.

Since the variation in the thickness of the first conductor layer forming the core substrate and the variation in the thickness of the second conductor layer forming the core substrate 30 can be reduced, for example, the flatness of the core substrate can be increased. In the printed wiring board of the embodiment, the build-up layers are laminated on the core substrate. Therefore, by increasing the flatness of the core substrate, for example, the flatness of a surface on which an electronic component is mounted or the flatness of a surface for connecting to another circuit substrate can be increased.

The via conductors are formed by filling openings for the via conductors with an electrolytic plating film. Therefore, when the thickness of the electrolytic plating film is larger than the thickness of the metal foil, the openings for the via conductors can be easily filled with the electrolytic plating film. When a thickness of an electrolytic plating film forming via lands is larger than a thickness of a metal foil forming the via lands, upper surfaces of the via lands are likely to be flat. Therefore, other via conductors can be laminated directly on the via lands. Among the inner side conductor layers in the first build-up layer (Bu1), for ⅔ or more of the inner side conductor layers, the thickness of the electrolytic plating film is larger than the thickness of the metal foil. Similarly, among the inner side conductor layers in the second build-up layer (Bu2), for ⅔ or more of the inner side conductor layers, the thickness of the electrolytic plating film is larger than the thickness of the metal foil.

For example, in the printed wiring board 10 of the embodiment, for the inner side first conductor layer (58F), the inner side second conductor layer (58S), the inner side third conductor layer (158F) and the inner side fourth conductor layer (158S), the thickness of the electrolytic plating film is larger than the thickness of the metal foil. In this example, for all of the inner side conductor layers, the thickness of the electrolytic plating film is larger than the thickness of the metal foil. Therefore, the flatness of the upper surfaces of the first via lands on the first via conductors (60F), the second via lands on the second via conductors (60S), the third via lands on the third via conductors (160F) and the fourth via lands on the fourth via conductors (160S) can be increased. This is because the first via conductors (60F), the second via conductors (60S), the third via conductors (160F) and the fourth via conductors (160S) are mainly formed by the electrolytic plating films. When the thicknesses of the electrolytic plating films are small, the openings of the via conductors are difficult to be filled. However, in the embodiment, since the thicknesses of the electrolytic plating films are large, the openings of the via conductors can be filled. When the upper surfaces of the via lands on the via conductors are flat, via conductors can be formed directly on via conductors. A high density printed wiring board can be provided. Further, the number of the resin insulating layers and the number of the conductor layers can be reduced. Therefore, warpage of the printed wiring board can be reduced. A stress acting on the through-hole conductors of the core substrate can be reduced.

For example, the inner side first metal foil (32sf), the inner side second metal foil (32ss), the inner side third metal foil (32gf) and the inner side fourth metal foil (32gs) each have a mat surface having a relatively small rough surface.

Or, for example, the inner side first metal foil (32sf) and the inner side second metal foil (32ss) each have a mat surface having a relatively small rough surface, and the inner side third metal foil (32gf) and the inner side fourth metal foil (32gs) each have a mat surface having a relatively large rough surface.

Or, for example, the inner side first metal foil (32sf) and the inner side second metal foil (32ss) each have a mat surface having a relatively large rough surface, and the inner side third metal foil (32gf) and the inner side fourth metal foil (32gs) each have a mat surface having a relatively small rough surface.

The first metal foil (tf) has a first mat surface (32tfm) at an interface between the first surface (F) of the core layer 20 and the first metal foil (tf). The roughness (Rz1) of the first mat surface (32tfm) is 3.5 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less. The second metal foil (ts) has a second mat surface (32tsm) at an interface between the second surface (S) of the core layer 20 and the second metal foil (ts). The roughness (Rz2) of the second mat surface (32tsm) is 3.5 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less. The core layer 20 is formed of a resin and a reinforcing material. The core layer 20 may have inorganic particles. Examples of the resin of the core layer 20 include an epoxy resin and a BT (bismaleimide triazine) resin. Examples of the reinforcing material of the core layer 20 include a glass cloth and an aramid fiber. Examples of the inorganic particles of the core layer 20 include silica particles and alumina particles.

As illustrated in FIG. 3B, CO2 laser is irradiated to the first metal foil (tf). The first openings (28F) are formed on the first surface (F) side of the insulating substrate. The first openings (28F) are each tapered from the first surface (F) toward the second surface (S). Conditions of the laser are set such that the tapered shapes are formed. The conditions of the laser include the number of shots, a pulse width, an output, and the like. A diameter of a second shot can be set to be smaller than a diameter of a first shot.

As illustrated in FIG. 3C, CO2 laser is irradiated to the second metal foil (ts). The second openings (28S) are formed on the second surface (S) side of the insulating substrate. The second openings (28S) are each tapered from the second surface (S) toward the first surface (F). Conditions of the laser are set such that the tapered shapes are formed. The conditions of the laser include the number of shots, a pulse width, an output, and the like. A diameter of a second shot can be set to be smaller than a diameter of a first shot. The through holes 28 are formed by the first openings (28F) and the second openings (28S). A joining area (28P) is formed at a joining place between a first opening (28F) and a second opening (28S). An outer periphery of the joining area (28P) forms a neck part (28C).

The first seed layer (42tf) and the second seed layer (42ts) are formed on the first metal foil (tf), the second metal foil (ts), and side walls of the through holes 28 by an electroless plating treatment (FIG. 3D). The first electrolytic plating film (44tf) is formed using the first seed layer (42tf), and the second electrolytic plating film (44ts) is formed using the second seed layer (42ts) (FIG. 4A). A first etching resist (48tf) is formed on the first electrolytic plating film (44tf). A second etching resist (48ts) is formed on the second electrolytic plating film (44ts) (FIG. 4B). The first electrolytic plating film (44tf), the first seed layer (42tf) and the first metal foil (tf) exposed from the first etching resist are removed by etching. The second electrolytic plating film (44ts), the second seed layer (42ts) and the second metal foil (ts) exposed from the second etching resist are removed by etching. The etching resists are removed, and the core substrate 30 is completed (FIG. 4C). The through-hole conductors 36 are respectively formed in the through holes 28. Simultaneously, the first conductor layer (34F) including the first through-hole lands (36F) and the second conductor layer (34S) including the second through-hole lands (36S) are formed.

In the embodiment, the joining area (28P) and the neck part (28C) are formed at a substantially central portion of each of the through holes 28.

The first build-up layer (Bu1) has multiple inner side conductor layers, and the second build-up layer (Bu2) has multiple inner side conductor layers. The inner side conductor layers are conductor layers other than the outermost conductor layers among the conductor layers included in the build-up layers.

The first build-up layer (Bu1) has multiple inner side conductor layers. The inner side conductor layers include one or more conductor layers (MFC) each formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a small rough surface and one or more conductor layers (MBC) each formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a large rough surface. And, the second build-up layer (Bu2) has multiple inner side conductor layers. The inner side conductor layers include one or more conductor layers (MFC) each formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a small rough surface and one or more conductor layers (MBC) each formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a large rough surface. In this case, the one or more inner side conductor layers each formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a small rough surface in the first build-up layer (Bu1) and the one or more inner side conductor layers each formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a small rough surface in the second build-up layer (Bu2) are symmetrically formed with respect to the core substrate. An example of this case is illustrated in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8, numbers are sequentially assigned to the conductor layers. The number “1” is assigned to the inner side conductor layers closest to the core substrate 30, and the largest number is assigned to the inner side conductor layers closest to the outermost conductor layers (258F, 258S).

As illustrated in FIG. 8, when the inner side conductor layer indicated by the number “1” in the first build-up layer (Bu1) is a conductor layer (MFC) formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a small rough surface, the inner side conductor layer indicated by the number “1” in the second build-up layer (Bu2) is a conductor layer (MFC) formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a small rough surface. The other inner side conductor layers (2, 3) are conductor layers (MBC) each formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a large rough surface. And, as illustrated in FIG. 8, when the inner side conductor layers respectively indicated by the numbers “2” and “3” in the first build-up layer (Bu1) are conductor layers (MFC) each formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a large rough surface, the inner side conductor layers respectively indicated by the numbers “2” and “3” in the second build-up layer (Bu2) are conductor layers (MFC) each formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a large rough surface. When the inner side conductor layer indicated by the number “3” in the first build-up layer (Bu1) is a conductor layer (MFC) formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a small rough surface, the inner side conductor layer indicated by the number “3” in the second build-up layer (Bu2) is a conductor layer (MFC) formed by a metal foil having a mat surface having a small rough surface.

The seed layers are preferably each formed by an electroless copper plating film. The electrolytic plating films are preferably each formed by an electrolytic copper plating film.

A ratio ((a size of a mat surface having a large unevenness)/(a size of a mat surface having a small unevenness)) of a size of a mat surface having a large unevenness to a size of a mat surface having a small unevenness is 1.5 or more and 2.0 or less. A printed wiring board suitable for high-speed transmission can be provided.

A ratio (RTT) ((a thickness of a conductor layer having a large thickness)/(a thickness of a conductor layer having a small thickness)) of a thickness of a conductor layer having a large thickness to a thickness of a conductor layer having a small thickness is preferably 1.2 or more and 3 or less. When the ratio (RTT) is larger than 1 and less than 1.2, the adhesion strength cannot be significantly improved. When the ratio (RTT) exceeds 3, the change in the adhesion strength becomes small.

For example, when the ratio (RTT) is less than 1.2, the thicknesses of the two conductor layers being compared to each other are substantially equal to each other. For example, when the ratio (RTT) exceeds 1.2, the two conductor layers being compared to each other are classified into a conductor layer having a small thickness and a conductor layer having a large thickness.

A thickness of a conductor layer and a thickness of a metal foil forming the conductor layer are related to each other. A conductor layer having a large thickness is formed by a metal foil having a large thickness, and a conductor layer having a small thickness is formed by a metal foil having a small thickness. A thickness of a metal foil having a large thickness is larger than a thickness of a metal foil having a small thickness. A ratio ((a thickness of a metal foil having a large thickness)/(a thickness of a metal foil having a small thickness)) of a thickness of a metal foil having a large thickness to a thickness of a metal foil having a small thickness is preferably 1.2 or more.

A thickness of a conductor layer and a thickness of an electrolytic plating film forming the conductor layer are related to each other. A conductor layer having a large thickness is formed by an electrolytic plating film having a small thickness, and a conductor layer having a small thickness is formed by an electrolytic plating film having a large thickness. A thickness of an electrolytic plating film having a large thickness is larger than a thickness of an electrolytic plating film having a small thickness. A ratio ((a thickness of an electrolytic plating film having a large thickness)/(a thickness of an electrolytic plating film having a small thickness)) of a thickness of an electrolytic plating film having a large thickness to a thickness of an electrolytic plating film having a small thickness is preferably 1.2 or more.

A thickness of a conductor layer and a size of an unevenness of a mat surface of a metal foil forming the conductor layer are related to each other. A conductor layer having a large thickness is formed by a metal foil having a large unevenness, and a conductor layer having a small thickness is formed by a metal foil having a small unevenness. A size of an unevenness is represented, for example, by a ten-point average roughness. A size of a large unevenness is larger than a size of a small unevenness. A ratio ((a size of a large unevenness)/(a size of a small unevenness)) of a size of a large unevenness to a size of a small unevenness is preferably 1.2 or more.

In the printed wiring board 10 of the embodiment, the conductor layers of the core substrate and the outermost conductor layers belong to the conductor layers each having a large thickness. An inner side conductor layer belongs to either a conductor layer having a large thickness or a conductor layer having a small thickness. The thicknesses of the inner side conductor layers each having a large thickness are substantially equal to the thicknesses of the conductor layers of the core substrate.

A thickness of a metal foil forming a conductor layer and a thickness of an electrolytic plating film forming the conductor layer are related to each other. When the thickness of the metal foil is large, the thickness of the electrolytic plating film is small. Therefore, for a conductor layer having a small thickness, a ratio ((the thickness of the metal foil)/(the thickness of the electrolytic plating film)) of the thickness of the metal foil to the thickness of the electrolytic plating film is smaller than 1. Conversely, for a conductor layer having a large thickness, the ratio ((the thickness of the metal foil)/(the thickness of the electrolytic plating film)) is larger than 1.

The thicknesses of the conductor layers (34F, 34S) forming the core substrate 30 are 15 μm or more and 35 μm or less. The thicknesses of the metal foils forming the conductor layers of the core substrate are 2 μm or more and 15 μm or less. The thicknesses of the electrolytic plating films forming the conductor layers of the core substrate are 1 μm or more and 12 μm or less. The ten-point average roughnesses (Rz) of the unevennesses of the mat surfaces of the metal foils forming the conductor layers of the core substrate are 3.0 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less.

The thicknesses of the outermost conductor layers (258F, 258S) are 15 μm or more and 35 μm or less. The thicknesses of the metal foils forming the outermost conductor layers are 2 μm or more and 15 μm or less. The thicknesses of the electrolytic plating films forming the outermost conductor layers are 1 μm or more and 12 μm or less. The ten-point average roughnesses (Rz) of the unevennesses of the mat surfaces of the metal foils forming the outermost conductor layers are 3.0 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less. The thicknesses of the metal foils forming the outermost conductor layers can be made smaller than the thicknesses of the metal foils forming the conductor layers of the core substrate. The ten-point average roughnesses of the unevennesses of the mat surfaces of the metal foils forming the outermost conductor layers can be made smaller than the ten-point average roughnesses of the unevennesses of the mat surfaces of the metal foils forming the conductor layers of the core substrate.

An example of an inner side conductor layer having a small thickness is described below.

A thickness of an inner side conductor layer having a small thickness is 5 μm or more and 25 μm or less. A thickness of a metal foil forming an inner side conductor layer having a small thickness is 2 μm or more and 5 μm or less. A thickness of an electrolytic plating film forming an inner side conductor layer having a small thickness is 5 μm or more and 25 μm or less. A ten-point average roughness (Rz) of an unevenness of a mat surface of a metal foil forming an inner side conductor layer having a small thickness is 1.5 μm or more and 2.5 μm or less.

An example of an inner side conductor layer having a large thickness is described below.

A thickness of an inner side conductor layer having a large thickness is 15 μm or more and 35 μm or less. A thickness of a metal foil forming an inner side conductor layer having a large thickness is 2 μm or more and 15 μm or less. A thickness of an electrolytic plating film forming an inner side conductor layer having a large thickness is 1 μm or more and 12 μm or less. A ten-point average roughness (Rz) of an unevenness of a mat surface of a metal foil forming an inner side conductor layer having a large thickness is 3.0 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less.

According to the printed wiring board 10 of the embodiment, a difference between a transmission speed of data transmitted by a conductor layer having a large thickness and a transmission speed of data transmitted by a conductor layer having a small thickness can be reduced. For example, a malfunction of an electronic component can be prevented.

In the printed wiring board, insulating layers and conductor layers are alternately laminated, and adjacent conductor layers are connected to each other by via holes formed in the insulating layers. Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2012-156525 describes a method for manufacturing the multilayer printed wiring board in FIG. 9A-9E, 10A-10E, 11, and 12A-12B. According to FIG. 9B of Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2012-156525, openings for via hole formation reaching a copper foil are formed in an insulating layer. Thereafter, the via holes are respectively formed in the openings. Thereafter, as illustrated in FIG. 9E, conductor layers are formed on both sides of the insulating layer. Then, by alternately laminating insulating layers and conductor layers on both sides of the circuit substrate of FIG. 9E, the multilayer printed wiring board illustrated in FIG. 12A of Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2012-156525 is manufactured.

According to a manufacturing method illustrated in FIG. 9A-9E, 10A-10E, 11, and 12A-12B of Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2012-156525, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2012-156525, the circuit substrate of FIG. 9E is thought to be a core substrate. Then, the core substrate has the via holes reaching the copper foil. For example, when the multilayer printed wiring board illustrated in FIG. 12A of Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2012-156525 is subjected to a stress due to heat cycles, the circuit substrate (core substrate) illustrated in FIG. 9E is thought to be subjected to a large stress. In particular, a stress acting on interfaces between bottom surfaces of the via holes formed in the circuit substrate (core substrate) illustrated in FIG. 9E of Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2012-156525 and the copper foil (conductor circuits) in contact with the bottom surfaces is thought to be large. Due to the stress, connection reliability between the bottom surfaces of the via holes in the circuit substrate (core substrate) illustrated in FIG. 9E and the copper foil (conductor circuits) is expected to decrease.

The first conductor layer is formed by a first metal foil, a first seed layer on the first metal foil, and a first electrolytic plating film on the first seed layer.

The outermost second conductor layer is formed by an outermost second metal foil, an outermost second seed layer on the outermost second metal foil, and an outermost second electrolytic plating film on the outermost second seed layer. The first metal foil has a first mat surface at an interface between the first surface of the core layer and the first metal foil. The second metal foil has a second mat surface at an interface between the second surface of the core layer and the second metal foil. The inner side first metal foil has an inner side first mat surface at an interface between the first resin insulating layer and the inner side first metal foil. The inner side second metal foil has an inner side second mat surface at an interface between the second resin insulating layer and the inner side second metal foil. The outermost first metal foil has an outermost first mat surface at an interface between the outermost first resin insulating layer and the outermost first metal foil.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the size (depth) of the unevenness (roughness) of the first mat surface of the first metal foil is larger than the size (depth) of the unevenness (roughness) of the inner side first mat surface of the inner side first metal foil. Therefore, even when a stress that occurs due to that the inner side first mat surface of the inner side first metal foil forming the first via lands is formed in the first resin insulating layer is transmitted to the interface between the first metal foil forming the first through-hole lands and the core layer, the stress is thought to be smaller than the bonding strength between the first through-hole lands and the core layer. Therefore, it is thought that the through-hole conductors will not peel off from the core layer.

When a residual stress is released, for example, the stress is transmitted to the outermost conductor layers via the through-hole conductors and the via conductors. Due to the stress, it is thought that peeling occurs between the outermost conductor layers and the outermost resin insulating layers. However, in the printed wiring board of the embodiment, the unevennesses of the mat surfaces of the metal foils forming the outermost conductor layers are larger than the unevennesses of the mat surfaces of the metal foils forming the inner side conductor layers. Therefore, the peeling is unlikely to occur.

Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.
