Abstract A multilayer printed wiring board and a method of manufacturing the board are provided. The board has a printed wiring incorporating metal powder consisting of fine grains and a layer of insulation material which is adhesive when uncured. The fine grains of the metal powder are securely fixed to the layer of insulation material so as to strengthen the bond between the printed wiring and the layer of insulation material. Alternatively, the layer of insulation material incorporates a layer of glass powder to enhance the insulation thereof. In this case, the layer of glass powder is made by evenly spreading glass powder on a first coat of uncured adhesive insulation material. The layer of glass powder is covered by a second coat of insulation material after the first coat of insulation material is cured so that the layer of glass powder is sandwiched between the two coats of insulation material. The metal powder is evenly spread on a layer of insulation material or the second coat of insulation material while the insulation material is uncured and adhesive. After the insulation material is cured, the surface of the insulation material covered with metal powder is copper-plated and is etched to form a printed wiring incorporating the metal powder.
An improved multilayer printed wiring board, comprising: (a) a base board; (b) a first printed wiring rigidly attached to a surface of said base board; (c) a layer of an insulation material attached to said surface covering said first printed wiring, said layer of said insulation material comprising a first coat of said insulation material, a second coat of said insulation material and a layer of glass powder, said layer of glass powder being sandwiched between said first coat of said insulation material and said second coat of said insulation material, whereby said layer of glass powder enhances electrical insulation of said layer of said insulation material; (d) a second printed wiring securely bonded to said layer of said insulation material; and (e) metal powder consisting of fine grains which are incorporated in said second printed wiring, said fine grains being securely fixed to said layer of said insulation material, whereby the bonding between said second printed wiring and said layer of said insulation material is ensured.
