In the first wiring layer, the first wiring has a contact end, and the contact end is located on the side of the first wiring layer 301 away from the substrate 110.

For example, the board body material can be coated on the substrate 110, and the first wiring is formed in the board body material to form the first wiring layer 301. Then, the board body material is coated on the side of the first wiring layer 301 away from the substrate 110, and the second wiring is formed in the board body material.
