Method of manufacturing printed circuit board having landless via hole

Abstract

Method of manufacturing printed circuit board, including: providing a substrate including a first circuit layer having a lower land of a via; forming an insulating layer on the first circuit layer; forming a via hole in the insulating layer; filling the via hole with a first metal, thus forming a via; forming a seed layer with a second metal on the insulating layer and an exposed surface of the via; applying a resist film on the seed layer, and forming a resist pattern having an opening for a second circuit layer with a width formed on the via being smaller than a width of the via; plating a circuit region defined by the opening with a third metal, thus forming a plating layer formed of the third metal; and removing the resist film, and selectively removing an exposed portion of the seed layer, thus forming a second circuit layer.
