Abstract

Abstract A metal cored printed wiring board and a manufacturing method therefor, in which an organic non-conductive layer will not separate from the metal core even in an environment of high temperature and high humidity since both the metal core and the organic non-conductive layer are firmly adhered. An organic non-conductive layer is formed over the metal core (e.g., of aluminum) with a metal plated layer (e.g., nickel) therebetween for protecting the metal core. A metal oxide layer is also used for enhancing adhesive force. By utilizing such a metal oxide layer, it is possible to more effectively prevent the organic non-conductive layer from separating from the plated layer (and thus the metal core). Further, the protecting metal plated layer can protect the metal core from erosion caused by contact with a strong alkali solution, etc. as may be used in a process of forming the metal oxide layer. Still further, copper plating inside the through hole can be performed easily.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 75 words
A method of manufacturing a printed wiring board, comprising the steps of: providing a metal core; forming a through hole in said metal core; plating a first metal layer over said core forming a second metal layer over said plated first metal layer; blackening said second metal layer; forming an organic, non-conductive layer over said blackened second metal layer; and forming a wiring layer over said organic non-conductive layer to provide said printed wiring board.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 75 words
A method of manufacturing a printed wiring board, comprising the steps of: providing a metal core; forming a through hole in said metal core; plating a first metal layer over said core forming a second metal layer over said plated first metal layer; blackening said second metal layer; forming an organic, non-conductive layer over said blackened second metal layer; and forming a wiring layer over said organic non-conductive layer to provide said printed wiring board.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said second metal layer is formed by plating.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
The method according to claim 1 further including subjecting said metal core to an etching process prior to plating said first metal layer over said metal core.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 38 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said blackening of said second metal layer is accomplished by etching said second metal layer and thereafter processing said second metal layer using a solution of sodium hydroxide and potassium persulfate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said forming of said organic, non-conductive layer is accomplished by lamination.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 29 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said wiring layer on said organic, non-conductive layer is formed by applying at least two metal layers on said organic, non-conductive layer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method according to claim 6 wherein said two metal layers are each applied using plating.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said first metal layer is formed by plating.
