The step of providing the first substrate 120 includes first providing the first base 122, wherein the first base 122 is in a B-stage state at this time, that is, has not yet been completely cured. The material of the first base 122 is, for example, epoxy, PTFE, PPE, PI, BT, PN, hydrocarbon, but is not limited thereto. Then, a release film can be attached to opposite sides of the first base 122, wherein the material of the release film is, for example, PET. Then, the first base 122 is routed to form a through hole. Then, the first dielectric material 126 is filled in the through hole, wherein the opposite sides of the first dielectric material 126 are respectively aligned with the release films at this time. Then, the first dielectric material 126 is drilled to form a through hole, wherein the drilling process is, for example, laser drilling or mechanical drilling or punching, but is not limited thereto. Finally, the conductive adhesive is filled in the through hole by printing or injection to form the first conductive pillar 124 surrounding the first dielectric material 126. Then, the release films attached to the opposite sides of the first base 122 are removed, so that the opposite surfaces of the first conductive pillar 124 and the first dielectric material 126 respectively protrude from the opposite surfaces of the first base 122, and the fabrication of the first substrate 120 is completed.
[0108] Furthermore, the second substrate 130 includes a second base 132, a second dielectric material 135, a first circuit layer 134, a second circuit layer 136, and a conductive connecting layer 138. The second base 132 has a first surface 131 and a second surface 133 opposite to each other, and an opening 139 penetrating through the second base 132. The first circuit layer 134 and the second circuit layer 136 are respectively located on the first surface 131 and the second surface 133. The conductive connecting layer 138 covers the inner wall of the opening 139 and electrically connects the first circuit layer 134 and the second circuit layer 136.

Here, the manufacturing method of the third substrate 140 is the same as that of the first substrate 120, please refer to the manufacturing method of the first substrate 120 described above, which will not be repeated here. It should be noted that the first conductive pillar 124, the second conductive pillar 144, the first circuit layer 134, the second circuit layer 136, and the conductive connecting layer 138 described above can be regarded as a plurality of conductive structures, and thus a plurality of conductive structures surrounding the first dielectric material 126, the second dielectric material 135, and the third dielectric material 146 have been formed. Here, the first metal layer 110, the first substrate 120, the second substrate 130, the third substrate 140, and the second metal layer 150 can be regarded as a composite PCB, wherein the first metal layer 110 and the second metal layer 150 are, for example, copper foil layers, but are not limited thereto.

As a result of the thermal compression process, the first base 122 of the first substrate 120 and the third base 142 of the third substrate 140 are converted from a B-stage state to a C-stage state, i.e. a fully cured state, so that the first metal layer 110, the second substrate 130 and the second metal layer 150 are attached to the first substrate 120 and the third substrate 140. At this point, the second dielectric material 135 is located between the first dielectric material 126 and the third dielectric material 146. Preferably, the dielectric constant of the first dielectric material 126 is different from the dielectric constant of the second dielectric material 135 and the dielectric constant of the third dielectric material 146.

Moreover, the dielectric constant of the first dielectric material 126 and the dielectric constant of the third dielectric material 146 are each preferably lower than 3.2, and the dielectric loss (Df) of the first dielectric material 126 and the dielectric loss of the third dielectric material 146 are each greater than 0 and lower than 0.006, thereby providing proper insulation and impedance matching, and reducing dielectric loss. In addition, the dielectric constant of the second dielectric material 135 is lower than 3.4, and the dielectric loss (Df) of the second dielectric material 135 is greater than 0 and lower than 0.008, thereby providing proper insulation and impedance matching, and reducing dielectric loss. Thus, the step of compressing the first dielectric material 126, the second dielectric material 135 and the third dielectric material 146 is completed.
[0111] Next, referring to Figure 1C , a via hole 162 is formed to pass through the first dielectric material 126, the second dielectric material 135 and the third dielectric material 146. Next, referring to Figure 1D , a conductive material layer 163 is formed to cover the inner wall of the via hole 162, wherein the conductive material layer 163 also extends to cover the first metal layer 110 and the second metal layer 150.
[0112] Subsequently, referring to Figure 1D and Figure 1EThe first external circuit layer 110a is formed on the first substrate 120, the first conductive pillar 124 and the first dielectric material 126, and electrically connects the first conductive pillar 124 and the via structure 160a. The second external circuit layer 150a is formed on the third substrate 140, the second conductive pillar 144 and the third dielectric material 146, and electrically connects the second conductive pillar 144 and the via structure 160a. In particular, the first external circuit layer 110a, the second external circuit layer 150a and the via structure 160a are electrically connected to define a signal path Ll 1. The conductive structure electrically connects the first external circuit layer 110a and the second external circuit layer 150a to define a ground path L12, which surrounds the signal path Ll 1. In this way, the fabrication of the circuit board 100a is completed.
[0113] In structure, please refer to Figure 1E and Figure 1FThe circuit board 100a of the present embodiment includes a first dielectric material 126, a second dielectric material 135, a third dielectric material 146, a first external line layer 110a, a second external line layer 150a, a plurality of conductive structures, and a via structure 160a.

The via structure 160a includes a via hole 162 and a conductive material layer 164. The via hole 162 penetrates the first dielectric material 126, the second dielectric material 135, and the third dielectric material 146. The conductive material layer 164 covers the inner wall of the via hole 162 and is electrically connected to the first external line layer 110a and the second external line layer 150a. The conductive structures include a first conductive pillar 124, a second conductive pillar 144, a first line layer 134, a second line layer 136, and a conductive connection layer 138, wherein the conductive structures are electrically connected to each other and surround the first dielectric material 126, the second dielectric material 135, and the third dielectric material 146. The conductive structures are electrically connected to the first external line layer 110a and the second external line layer 150a to define a ground path Ll 2. The ground path Ll 2 surrounds the signal path Ll 1.
[0114] In detail, the circuit board 100a of the present embodiment further comprises a first substrate 120, a second substrate 130 and a third substrate 140. The first substrate 120 comprises a first base 122, a first dielectric material 126 and a first conductive post 124. The first dielectric material 126 and the first conductive post 124 penetrate through the first base 122, and the first conductive post 124 is located between the first base 122 and the first dielectric material 126, wherein the first conductive post 124 surrounds the first dielectric material 126. The second substrate 130 comprises a second base 132, a second dielectric material 135, a first circuit layer 134, a second circuit layer 136 and a conductive connecting layer 138. The second base 132 has a first surface 131 and a second surface 133 opposite to each other, and an opening 139 penetrating through the second base 132. The first circuit layer 134 and the second circuit layer 136 are located on the first surface 131 and the second surface 133 respectively. The conductive connecting layer 138 covers the inner wall of the opening 139 and electrically connects the first circuit layer 134 and the second circuit layer 136. The second dielectric material 135 fills the opening 139, and the conductive connecting layer 138 surrounds the second dielectric material 135. The third substrate 140 comprises a third base 142, a third dielectric material 146 and a second conductive post 144. The third dielectric material 146 and the second conductive post 144 penetrate through the third base 142, and the second conductive post 144 is located between the third base 142 and the third dielectric material 146, wherein the second conductive post 144 surrounds the third dielectric material 146.
[0115] In addition, the first external circuit layer 110a of the present embodiment comprises a first signal line 115 and a first ground line 117. The second external circuit layer 150a comprises a second signal line 155 and a second ground line 157. The first signal line 115, the via structure 160a and the second signal line 155 define a signal path L11. The first ground line 117, the first conductive post 124, the first circuit layer 134, the conductive connecting layer 138, the second circuit layer 136, the second conductive post 144 and the second ground line 157 define a ground path L12. Since the signal path L11 is surrounded and enclosed by the ground path L12, a good high frequency and high speed loop can be formed. In addition, the two sides of the signal path L11 are located on the same plane as the two sides of the ground path L12 respectively, and since the circuit board 100a of the present embodiment has the first conductive post 124 and the second conductive post 144, the shielding gap can be filled up to form a complete shielding, which can effectively reduce the signal energy loss and noise interference, and thus the signal transmission reliability can be improved.
[0116] In short, the signal path L11 defined by the first signal line 115, the via structure 160a, and the second signal line 155 is surrounded by the ground path L12 defined by the first ground line 117, the first conductive post 124, the first circuit layer 134, the conductive connection layer 138, the second circuit layer 136, the second conductive post 144, and the second ground line 157. That is, the signal path L11 capable of transmitting high-frequency high-speed signals such as 5G is surrounded by the ground path L12 with good sealing, thereby forming a good high-frequency high-speed loop, so that the circuit board 100a of the present embodiment can have better signal integrity. Here, the high frequency refers to a frequency greater than 1 GHz; and the high speed refers to a data transmission speed greater than 100 Mbps. Furthermore, it is generally known that high-frequency circuits emphasize the speed and quality of transmitted signals, and the main factors affecting these two are the electrical properties of the transmission material, i.e. the material dielectric constant (Dk) and dielectric loss (Df). By reducing the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the substrate, signal propagation delay time can be effectively reduced, and signal transmission rate and signal transmission loss can be improved.
[0117] Since the present embodiment only provides the first dielectric material 126, the second dielectric material 135, and the third dielectric material 146 around the via 162, compared with the prior art in which the entire substrate uses this dielectric material, the present embodiment can effectively reduce the amount of dielectric material used, effectively reduce costs, and improve signal transmission rate and reduce signal transmission loss. Furthermore, the first substrate 120, the second substrate 130, and the third substrate 140 provided by the present embodiment are finished circuit boards, while the first metal layer 110 and the second metal layer 150 are semi-finished products, and the first metal layer 110, the first substrate 120, the second substrate 130, the third substrate 140, and the second metal layer 150 are integrated together by pressing. The via structure 160a, the conductive connection layer 138 of the second substrate 130, and the second dielectric material 135 define a coaxial via, wherein the second dielectric material 135 is located between the via structure 160a and the conductive connection layer 138. Compared with the prior art in which the insulation layer is pressed to increase the number of layers to block the internal conductor layer and the external conductor layer of the coaxial via, the manufacturing method of the circuit board 100a of the present embodiment can avoid the problem of impedance mismatch affecting the integrity of high-frequency signals. In addition, since the present embodiment does not use the insulation layer pressing method to increase the number of layers of the circuit board, the via hole design is not used to connect adjacent structure layers. Therefore, in addition to overcoming the energy loss of the via hole, the manufacturing method of the circuit board 100a of the present embodiment can also avoid the problem of poor reliability of the thermal stress of the via hole.
