The patent application (Publication Number: US20240040692A1) describes a printed wiring board with specific features aimed at improving its performance. The board includes an insulating layer, a conductor layer with a defined roughness, an adhesive layer covering the conductor layer, and a resin insulating layer. The conductor layer's upper surface is designed to have a root mean square roughness Rq of 0.23 µm or less, ensuring optimal performance.

Furthermore, the adhesive layer on the printed wiring board is specifically designed to follow the unevenness of the conductor layer's upper surface. The adhesive layer includes a smooth film portion with a uniform thickness and a protruding part that enhances the overall structure. The patent application outlines various parameters for the adhesive layer, such as the height of the protruding part and the ratio of exposed smooth film portion to the total area of the adhesive layer. These features aim to enhance the functionality and reliability of the printed wiring board, making it suitable for various applications in the electronics industry.
