次に、回路基板10の製造方法について図面を参照しながら説明する。図5及び図6は、回路基板10の製造時の断面図である。なお、本実施形態では、一つの回路基板10を製造する方法について説明する。ただし、実際には、大判のマザー樹脂層を積層及び熱圧着してマザー回路基板を作成し、マザー回路基板を複数の回路基板10にカットする。
回路基板10によれば、高周波信号の反射を低減できる。より詳細には、特許文献1に記載の伝送線路では、複数の層間接続導体が直列接続されるために、複数の層間接続導体の間に接続用の導体パターンが設けられる。このような接続用の導体パターンは、層間接続導体の周囲の導体パターンと容量を形成しやすい。よって、複数の層間接続導体において特性インピーダンスの変動が発生する場合がある。このような特性インピーダンスの変動は、高周波信号の反射の原因となる。
