DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0006] [Problem that this disclosure aims to solve] For example, a coverlay may be used as the insulating layer. The coverlay has an adhesive layer disposed on the main surface of the base film so as to cover the conductive pattern, and an insulating film disposed on the adhesive layer. To electrically connect the conductive pattern to the outside, the coverlay has an opening formed therein to expose the upper surface of the terminal portion of the conductive pattern.

[0007] The edge of the opening on the lower surface of the adhesive layer is the first opening edge, and the edge of the opening on the lower surface of the insulating film is the second opening edge. When the coverlay is attached to the base film, a phenomenon (resin flow) may occur in which the adhesive layer flows so that the first opening edge is located more inward than the second opening edge in a plan view. If the resin flow results in the distance between the first opening edge and the second opening edge (resin flow width) becoming too large, the area of ​​the upper surface of the conductive pattern used for electrical connection to the outside becomes too small.

[0008] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the problems of the conventional techniques as described above. More specifically, the present disclosure provides a printed wiring board capable of ensuring a connection area of ​​a terminal portion of a conductive pattern.

[0009] [Effects of this disclosure] According to the printed wiring board of the present disclosure, it is possible to ensure a sufficient connection area for the terminal portion.

[0020] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] Next, details of an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, the same or corresponding parts are given the same reference symbols, and duplicated descriptions will not be repeated. A printed wiring board according to the embodiment is referred to as a printed wiring board 100.

[0021] (Configuration of printed wiring board 100) The configuration of the printed wiring board 100 will be described below.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a plan view of the printed wiring board 100. FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the printed wiring board 100. FIG. 2 shows the printed wiring board 100 as viewed from the opposite side to that of FIG. 1. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the coverlays 31 and 32 are omitted. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along III-III in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along IV-IV in FIG. 1. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along VV in FIG. 1. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along VI-VI in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the printed wiring board 100 has a base film 10, conductive patterns 21 and 22, and coverlays 31 and 32.

[0023] The base film 10 has a principal surface 10a and a principal surface 10b. The principal surface 10a and the principal surface 10b are end surfaces in the thickness direction of the base film 10. The principal surface 10b is the opposite surface to the principal surface 10a. The base film 10 is made of a flexible, electrically insulating material. The base film 10 is made of, for example, polyimide or a liquid crystal polymer. The normal direction of the principal surface 10a (principal surface 10b) is defined as a first direction DR1.

[0024] The conductive pattern 21 is disposed on the main surface 10a. The conductive pattern 21 is wound in a spiral shape in a plan view. The conductive pattern 21 has a plurality of wiring portions 21a.

[0025] The multiple wiring portions 21a may be multiple straight portion 21b or multiple curved portion 21c. The straight portion 21b extends linearly in a plan view. The curved portion 21c extends curvedly in a plan view. The extension direction of the wiring portion 21a (straight portion 21b, curved portion 21c) is defined as the second direction DR2. When the wiring portion 21a is the curved portion 21c, the second direction DR2 is the tangent direction of the curved portion 21c.

[0026] The wiring portions 21a (straight portions 21b and curved portions 21c) are arranged at intervals along a third direction DR3 that is perpendicular to the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2.

[0027] The conductive pattern 22 is disposed on the main surface 10b. The conductive pattern 22 is wound in a spiral shape in a plan view. The conductive pattern 21 has a plurality of wiring portions 22a.

[0028] The multiple wiring portions 22a may be multiple straight portion 22b or multiple curved portion 22c. The straight portion 22b extends linearly in a plan view. The curved portion 22c extends curvedly in a plan view. The wiring portion 22a (straight portion 22b, curved portion 22c) extends along the second direction DR2. When the wiring portion 22a is the curved portion 22c, the second direction DR2 is the tangent direction of the curved portion 22c. The multiple wiring portions 22a (straight portion 22b, curved portion 22c) are arranged at intervals along the third direction DR3.

[0029] The conductive pattern 21 has a land 21d at one end and a land 21e at the other end. The lands 21d and 21e are located at the outermost and innermost circumferences of the conductive pattern 21, respectively. The conductive pattern 22 has a land 22d at one end and a land 22e at the other end. The lands 22d and 22e are located at the innermost and outermost circumferences of the conductive pattern 22, respectively. The lands 21d and 22e are terminal portions provided for electrical connection to the outside. The lands 21e and 22d overlap each other in a plan view.

[0030] Each of the conductive patterns 21 and 22 is formed by, for example, a semi-additive method. More specifically, each of the conductive patterns 21 and 22 has a seed layer 23, an electroless plating layer 24, and an electrolytic plating layer 25. However, each of the conductive patterns 21 and 22 may be formed by a subtractive method.

[0031] The seed layer 23 is disposed on the main surfaces (main surfaces 10a, 10b) of the base film 10. The seed layer 23 is, for example, a sputtered layer (a layer formed by sputtering). The seed layer 23 has, for example, a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is disposed on the main surfaces (main surfaces 10a, 10b) of the base film 10. The second layer is disposed on the first layer. The first layer and the second layer are, for example, formed of a nickel-chromium alloy and copper, respectively.

[0032] The electroless plating layer 24 is a layer formed by electroless plating. The electroless plating layer 24 is disposed on the seed layer 23. The electroless plating layer 24 is formed of, for example, copper. The electrolytic plating layer 25 is a layer formed by electrolytic plating. The electrolytic plating layer 25 is disposed on the electroless plating layer 24. The electrolytic plating layer 25 is formed of, for example, copper.

[0033] Although not shown, a through hole 10c is formed in the base film 10. The through hole 10c penetrates the base film 10 in the thickness direction. The through hole 10c overlaps the land 21e and the land 22d in a plan view. The electroless plating layer 24 is also disposed on the inner wall surface of the through hole 10c. The electrolytic plating layer 25 is also embedded in the through hole 10c. This electrically connects the conductive pattern 21 and the conductive pattern 22 to each other. When a voltage is applied between the land 21d and the land 22e, a current flows in a spiral shape in the conductive pattern 21 and the conductive pattern 22, and a magnetic field is generated by this current. From another perspective, the printed wiring board 100 is a coil device.

[0034] The thickness of the conductive pattern 21 is defined as thickness T1. The thickness of the conductive pattern 22 is defined as thickness T2. The thicknesses T1 and T2 are, for example, not less than 30 μm and not more than 150 μm. The distance between two adjacent wiring portions 21a is defined as distance DIS1. The distance between two adjacent wiring portions 22a is defined as distance DIS2. The distance DIS1 and distance DIS2 are, for example, not less than 3 μm and not more than 30 μm.

[0035] Each of the coverlays 31 and 32 has an adhesive layer 33 and an insulating film 34. The adhesive layer 33 is a layer formed from an adhesive. The adhesive layer 33 of the coverlay 31 is disposed on the main surface 10a so as to cover the conductive pattern 21. The adhesive layer 33 of the coverlay 32 is disposed on the main surface 10b so as to cover the conductive pattern 22. The insulating film 34 is disposed on the adhesive layer 33. The insulating film 34 is formed from, for example, polyimide or a liquid crystal polymer.

[0036] The thickness of the adhesive layer 33 of the coverlay 31 between the upper surface of the conductive pattern 21 and the lower surface of the insulating film 34 of the coverlay 31 is defined as thickness T3. The thickness of the adhesive layer 33 of the coverlay 32 between the upper surface of the conductive pattern 22 and the lower surface of the insulating film 34 of the coverlay 32 is defined as thickness T4. Thicknesses T3 and T4 are, for example, not less than 3 μm and not more than 15 μm.

[0037] The thickness of the insulating film 34 of the coverlay 31 is defined as thickness T5. The thickness of the insulating film 34 of the coverlay 32 is defined as thickness T6. The thicknesses T5 and T6 are, for example, not less than 2 μm and not more than 7 μm.

[0038] The arithmetic mean height (Sa) of the irregularities on the upper surface of the insulating film 34 is 0.010 μm or more and 1.00 μm or less. The arithmetic mean height of the irregularities on the upper surface of the insulating film 34 is measured using a laser microscope. The definition of the arithmetic mean height is as specified in ISO25178.

[0039] The upper surface of the insulating film 34 has projections and recesses along the third direction DR3. The pitch between two adjacent wiring portions 21a is defined as pitch P1. The pitch between two adjacent wiring portions 22a is defined as pitch P2. The period of the projections and recesses on the upper surface of the insulating film 34 in the third direction DR3 is, for example, 0.80 to 1.20 times the pitch P1 on the portions of the insulating film 34 located on the multiple wiring portions 21a. The period of the projections and recesses on the upper surface of the insulating film 34 in the third direction DR3 is, for example, 0.80 to 1.20 times the pitch P2 on the portions of the insulating film 34 located on the multiple wiring portions 22a.

[0040] The period of the projections and recesses on the upper surface of the insulating film 34 in the third direction DR3 is obtained by measuring the upper surface of the insulating film 34 using a laser microscope at a magnification of 20x or more and 50x or less, and measuring the distance between two adjacent projections.

[0041] An opening 35 is formed in the coverlay 31. The opening 35 penetrates the coverlay 31 (the adhesive layer 33 and the insulating film 34) in the thickness direction. The upper surface of the land 21d is exposed from the opening 35. An opening 36 is formed in the coverlay 32. The opening 36 penetrates the coverlay 32 (the adhesive layer 33 and the insulating film 34) in the thickness direction. The upper surface of the land 22e is exposed from the opening 36.

[0042] The width of the opening 35 in the insulating film 34 and the width of the opening 36 in the insulating film 34 are defined as width W1 and width W2, respectively. Width W1 and width W2 are measured on the lower surface of the insulating film 34. Distance DIS3 is the distance between the edge of the opening 35 on the lower surface of the adhesive layer 33 and the edge of the opening 35 on the lower surface of the insulating film 34. Distance DIS4 is the distance between the edge of the opening 36 on the lower surface of the adhesive layer 33 and the edge of the opening 36 on the lower surface of the insulating film 34. Distance DIS3 and distance DIS4 correspond to the resin flow width. Note that width W1, width W2, distance DIS3, and distance DIS4 are measured by acquiring a planar image of the printed wiring board 100 using a microscope and based on the planar image.

[0043] The distance DIS3 is 30 percent or less of the minimum value of the width W1. In other words, the value obtained by dividing the distance DIS3 by the minimum value of the width W1 is 0.3 or less. The distance DIS4 is 30 percent or less of the minimum value of the width W2. In other words, the value obtained by dividing the distance DIS4 by the minimum value of the width W2 is 0.30 or less. The distances DIS3 and DIS4 are, for example, 0 mm or more and 0.3 mm or less.

[0044] (Method of Manufacturing Printed Wiring Board 100) A method for manufacturing the printed wiring board 100 will now be described.

[0045] Fig. 7 is a manufacturing process diagram of the printed wiring board 100. As shown in Fig. 7, the manufacturing method of the printed wiring board 100 includes a preparation step S1 and a coverlay application step S2. The coverlay application step S2 is performed after the preparation step S1.

[0046] In the preparation step S1, a base film 10, a coverlay 31, and a coverlay 32 are prepared. The base film 10 prepared in the preparation step S1 has a conductive pattern 21 and a conductive pattern 22 arranged on a main surface 10a and a main surface 10b, respectively. In the coverlays 31 and 32 prepared in the preparation step S1, the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer 33 is uncured. In the coverlays 31 and 32, an opening 35 and an opening 36 are formed, for example, by punching, respectively.

[0047] In the coverlay attachment process S2, the coverlays 31 and 32 are attached to the base film 10. In the coverlay attachment process S2, first, the coverlay 31 is placed on the main surface 10a so that the adhesive layer 33 covers the conductive pattern 21, and the coverlay 32 is placed on the main surface 10b so that the adhesive layer 33 covers the conductive pattern 22.

[0048] Secondly, the coverlays 31 and 32 are heat-pressed onto the base film 10. At this time, a cushioning material is interposed between the heat-pressing device and the coverlays 31 and 32. This causes the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer 33 to harden, and the coverlays 31 and 32 are attached to the base film 10.

[0049] The cushioning material is made of a resin material. The glass transition point of the resin material constituting the cushioning material is lower than the heating temperature during the above-mentioned heat pressing. Therefore, during the above-mentioned heat pressing, the insulating film 34 is deformed to conform to the shapes of the multiple wiring portions 21a (wiring portions 22a), and periodic unevenness is formed along the third direction DR3 on the upper surface of the insulating film 34 on the multiple wiring portions 21a (wiring portions 22a). In this way, the printed wiring board 100 having the structure shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 is formed.

[0050] <Modification> 8 is a cross-sectional view of a modified printed wiring board 100. As shown in FIG. 8, the printed wiring board 100 does not have to have the conductive pattern 22 and the coverlay 32.

[0051] (Effects of the printed wiring board 100) The effects of the printed wiring board 100 will be described below.

[0052] The resin flow width is small in the printed wiring board 100. More specifically, in the printed wiring board 100, the distance DIS3 is 30 percent or less of the minimum value of the width W1, and the distance DIS4 is 1 percent or less of the minimum value of the width W2. Therefore, in the printed wiring board 100, the area of ​​the upper surfaces of the lands 21d and 22d that are used for electrical connection to the outside is ensured.

[0053] The higher the aspect ratio of the conductive patterns 21 and 22 (i.e., the larger the thickness T1 and the thickness T2) and the higher the density of the conductive patterns 21 and 22 (i.e., the smaller the distance DIS1 and the distance DIS2), the more likely resin flow will occur when the coverlays 31 and 32 are applied.

[0054] However, in printed wiring board 100, thicknesses T5 and T6 are small, not less than 2 μm and not more than 7 μm. Also, in printed wiring board 100, a cushioning material that is easily softened (has a low glass transition point) is interposed between the heat press device and coverlays 31 and 32 when heat pressing is performed. Therefore, in printed wiring board 100, insulating film 34 is not easily deformed during heat pressing, and increases in distances DIS3 and DIS4 due to resin flow are unlikely to occur.

[0055] The larger the thicknesses T3 and T4, the smaller the pressure applied when the heat press is performed. The smaller the pressure applied when the heat press is performed, the less likely resin flow will occur, so the larger the thicknesses T3 and T4, the easier it is to ensure the area of ​​the upper surfaces of the lands 21d and 22d that are used for electrical connection to the outside.

[0056] On the other hand, the smaller the thicknesses T3 and T4, the closer the interface between the adhesive layer 33 and the insulating film 34 is to the neutral axis of the printed wiring board 100 when bent, and the easier it is to ensure adhesion between the adhesive layer 33 and the insulating film 34 when bent. When the thicknesses T3 and T4 are 3 μm or more and 15 μm or less, it is possible to ensure the adhesion between the adhesive layer 33 and the insulating film 34 while ensuring the area of ​​the upper surfaces of the lands 21d and 22d that are used for electrical connection to the outside.

[0057] (Example) Samples 1 to 72 were prepared to evaluate the relationship between thickness T1 (thickness T2), thickness T3 (thickness T4), thickness T5 (thickness T6) and distance DIS1 (distance DIS2) and distance DIS3 (distance DIS4). Details of Samples 1 to 72 are shown in Tables 1, 2, and 3. In Samples 1 to 72, the thickness T1, thickness T3, thickness T5, and distance DIS1 were changed, and then the distance DIS3 was measured. In Samples 1 to 72, the width W1 was constant at 〇 μm.

[0058] [Table 1]

[0059] [Table 2]

[0060] [Table 3]

[0061] Condition A is that thickness T1 is 30 μm or more and 150 μm or less. Condition B is that thickness T3 is 3 μm or more and 15 μm or less. Condition C is that thickness T5 is 2 μm or more and 7 μm or less. Condition D is that distance DIS1 is 3 μm or more and 30 μm or less.

[0062] All of Conditions A to D were satisfied in Sample 1 to Sample 51, Sample 53, Sample 54, Sample 57, Sample 61, Sample 62, and Sample 65. On the other hand, at least one of Conditions A to D was not satisfied in Sample 52, Sample 55, Sample 56, Sample 58 to Sample 60, Sample 63, Sample 64, and Sample 66 to Sample 72.

[0063] In Sample 1 to Sample 51, Sample 53, Sample 54, Sample 57, Sample 61, Sample 62, and Sample 65, the distance DIS3 was 0 mm or more and 0.3 mm or more (i.e., the distance DIS3 was 30 percent or less of the width W1). On the other hand, in Sample 52, Sample 55, Sample 56, Sample 58 to Sample 60, Sample 63, Sample 64, and Sample 66 to Sample 72, the distance DIS3 exceeded 0.3 mm.

[0064] This comparison reveals that by appropriately adjusting the thickness T1 (thickness T2), thickness T3 (thickness T4), thickness T5 (thickness T6) and distance DIS1 (distance DIS2), it is possible to set the distance DIS3 (distance DIS4) to be greater than or equal to 0 mm and less than or equal to 0.3 mm (i.e., less than 30 percent of the width W1 (width W2)).

[0065] The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and should not be considered as limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not by the above-described embodiments, and is intended to include all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the claims.
