Abstract:
Printed circuit boards (6) with integral high and low value resistors (2 and 4) are efficiently produced. The method of their manufacture entails applying a first layer of a low resistance material (8) onto a dielectric substrate (6) in a predetermined thickness and pattern. The pattern defines the electrical lengths and widths of low value resistors (2), as well as pairs of terminal electrode pads (28 and 30) for the high value resistors (4). A second layer of a high resistance material (18) is applied between and in contact with the top surfaces of the facing ends of each member of the terminal pad pairs (28 and 30). The fixed lengths, widths and thicknesses of the patterned high resistance material determine the values of the high value resistors. Conductive metal terminals are provided at the ends of the low value resistors and at the distal ends of the high value resistor pad to complete the resistors.

A thin film circuit board device having passive elements in a wiring layer comprises a base substrate (2) and a circuit section (3) with insulation layers (11) (16) pattern wirings (14) (17) formed on a build-up face (2a), and a receiving electrode section (21) on the first insulation layer (11), and with a passive element electrically connected to the receiving electrode section (21). The circuit section (3) comprises a substrate layer (23) and substrate titanium layer (22) formed by so stacking a substrate titanium film and substrate film as to coat the receiving electrode section (21) and each passive element, and by etching the substrate film and substrate titanium film in a region free of the metal film with a mask of a metal film of the first pattern wiring (14) formed on the substrate film. Thus, the substrate titanium film serving as the substrate titanium layer (22) prevents the receiving electrode section and each passive element from being corroded by an etchant, so that a high-performance passive element is constituted.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thin film circuit board device having passive elements in wiring layers. The thin film circuit board device includes a base board (2) and a circuit part (3) including insulating layers (11) and (16) and pattern wiring (14) and (17) formed on a build-up forming surface (2a). On the first insulating layer (11), a receiving electrode part (21) is formed and the passive elements electrically connected to the receiving electrode part (21) are formed. In the circuit part (3), a substrate titanium film and a substrate film are laminated so as to cover the receiving electrode part (21) and the passive elements respectively. The substrate film and the substrate titanium film in areas in which a metallic film is not formed are etched through the metallic film serving as the first pattern wiring (14) formed on the substrate film as a mask. Thus, a substrate layer (23) and a substrate titanium layer (22) are formed. Consequently, the substrate titanium film serving as the substrate titanium layer (22) prevents the corrosion of the receiving electrode part and the respective passive elements due to etching liquid to form the passive elements with high performance.
