Abstract

Abstract A multi-layered printing wiring board and a method for manufacture where the multi-layered printing wiring board has a thermal expansion controller Copper-Invar-Copper core therein with portions of the invar core therein with portions of the Invar being selectively removed and replaced with superior materials for plating conductive material there to and further having a reduced coefficient of thermal conductivity by providing for a noble metal layer to be selectively deposited on pre-determined positions on the Copper-Invar-Copper core thereby selectively etching portions of the copper and Invar up to the noble metal layer and thereby providing for selectively removing the Invar and replacing it with a laminant material.
