Abstract

A conductive paste compound for via hole filling includes a conductive filler at 80 to 92 weight percent with an average particle size of from 0.5 to 20 μm and specific surface of from 0.1 to 1.5 m2 /g, a liquid epoxy resin at 4.5 to 20 weight percent containing 2 or more epoxy groups with room temperature viscosity of 15 Pa⋅sec or less, and a hardener at 0.5 to 5 weight percent, wherein the viscosity is 2,000 Pa⋅sec or less and the volatile amount is 2.0 weight percent or less. A filling paste and a printed circuit board with use thereof are provided which can conduct an inner-via-hole connection between electrode layers without using a through-hole plating technique.The conductive paste comprises a metallic particle such as copper, an epoxy resin, a hardener, and if necessary, a dispersant. The paste having low viscosity and low volatility under high shear is used to fill holes disposed in a laminated substrate. Then, this substrate is heated and pressurized together with copper foil on both sides to attain a printed circuit board where both sides are electrically inner-via-hole connected.
