Abstract:
A wiring substrate includes an electrical wiring part including insulating layers and conductor layers, and an optical wiring part formed on a surface of the electrical wiring part and including a support plate and an optical waveguide formed on the support plate. The optical wiring part is formed such that the optical waveguide includes at least one core part that transmits light and a cladding part surrounding the at least one core part and that the support plate has a thermal expansion coefficient that is lower than a thermal expansion coefficient of the optical waveguide.
Abstract:
A wiring substrate includes an insulating layer, a conductor layer formed on surface of the insulating layer and including a conductor pad, a covering layer covering a portion of the insulating layer, an optical waveguide positioned on the surface of the insulating layer and including core part, and a conductor post including plating metal and formed on the conductor pad such that the post is penetrating through the covering layer and connected to a component. The insulating layer has component region covered by the component when the component is connected, the core part has side surface extending in direction along the surface of the insulating layer, the side surface has an exposed portion exposed in the component region and facing the opposite direction with respect to the insulating layer, and distance between the exposed portion and the surface of the insulating layer is greater than thickness of the covering layer.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a printed wiring board includes forming, on a surface of an insulating layer, a patterned catalyst film including a catalyst for electroless plating such that the patterned catalyst film has a pattern corresponding to a conductor circuit, and applying electroless plating on the patterned catalyst film such that a conductor metal is deposited on the patterned catalyst film and that the conductor circuit is formed on the surface of the insulating layer.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a wiring board includes positioning on a first insulation layer a wiring structure including an insulation layer and conductive patterns formed on the insulation layer, forming a second insulation layer on the first insulation layer and the wiring structure such that the wiring structure is interposed between the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer, forming a via conductor through the second insulation layer, and forming conductive patterns on the second insulation layer such that one of the conductive patterns on the second insulation layer is connected to the via conductor in the second insulation layer.
