At the same time, the present application fills the second through-hole 83 with a thermally conductive material to form the thermally conductive portion 84. The heat generated by the two conductive circuit layers 93 can be transferred to the phase change structure 24 through the thermally conductive portion 84. The phase change structure 24 absorbs the heat generated by the conductive circuit layer 93, thereby reducing the temperature of the conductive circuit layer 93 and improving the heat dissipation performance of the conductive circuit layer 93.

In addition, the present application also embeds the electronic component 71 inside the circuit board 100, thereby reducing the thickness of the circuit board 100.
