Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing a printed wiring board includes forming an interlayer insulation layer on a conductive circuit, applying laser to a portion of the interlayer insulation layer such that an opening reaching to the conductive circuit is formed for a via conductor, subjecting the opening to a plasma treatment using a processing gas which includes a reactive gas including a fluorovinyl ether gas having a double bond of two carbon atoms and a fluoroalkyl ether group, forming an upper conductive circuit on the interlayer insulation layer, and forming a via conductor in the opening such that the via conductor connects the conductive circuit and the upper conductive circuit.
