1Strength

If the surface roughness of electrically conductive layers is increased to improve adhesive strength, then adhesive strength between dielectric material layers and electrically conductive layers is improved, but resistance increases and electrical performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidelectrical performance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different surface roughness characteristics to different regions of the conductive layers. Specifically, the first and second main surfaces of the common electrically conductive layer are configured with a first roughness, while the third and fourth main surfaces are configured with a second roughness. This local differentiation allows optimization of adhesive strength at interfaces requiring it, while maintaining smooth surfaces in regions where electrical performance is critical, thereby resolving the contradiction between adhesive strength and electrical performance.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements different roughness configurations for different surfaces of the common electrically conductive layer. The first and second main surfaces (which interface with dielectric layers requiring strong adhesion) are configured with a first roughness to enhance adhesive strength, while the third and fourth main surfaces are configured with a second roughness. This allows fine line configurations to achieve high wiring density while maintaining adequate adhesive strength through localized surface optimization at critical interfaces.
