Patent ID: 8613136

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a printed wiring board, comprising: providing a laminate body comprising a first insulation layer and a conductive film provided on a first surface of the first insulation layer; forming an alignment mark in the laminate body by removing at least a portion of the conductive film; providing an adhesive layer on a second surface of the first insulation layer opposite to the first surface, the adhesive layer being provided at a position determined based on the alignment mark; placing an electronic component on the adhesive layer at a position determined based on the alignment mark; providing a second insulation layer having an opening for enclosing an electronic component on the second surface of the first insulation layer such that the electronic component is positioned in the opening; forming a third insulation layer over the second insulation layer to enclose the electronic component inside the opening of the second insulation layer; forming a via hole in the laminate body to expose a terminal of the electronic component, the via hole being formed at a position determined based on the alignment mark; plating a surface of the laminate body and a surface of the via hole to form a via conductor in the via hole and to form a conductive layer on the laminate body, the via conductor being connected to the terminal of the electronic component; and patterning the conductive layer to form a conductive circuit connected to the via conductor.
