A coupled via structure includes a plate via penetrating through an board body and having first and second plates spaced apart from each other by a first gap distance, a contact pad connected to the plate via on a surface of the board body and having first and second contacts connected to the first and second plates, respectively, and a connection line connected to the contact pad on the surface of the board body and having first and second lines connected to the first and second contacts, respectively, and spaced apart from the first line by a second gap distance.

A printed wiring board according to an aspect of the present invention includes an insulating resin, a plated copper formed on a front surface side of the insulating resin, and a plated copper formed on a back surface side of the insulating resin. The plated copper and the plated copper are electrically connected via a plated copper that fills a through hole penetrating the insulating resin from the front surface side to the back surface side. Furthermore, the through hole includes a conical section whose opening diameter decreases from the front surface side to the back surface side of the insulating resin, and a cylindrical section that communicates with the conical section at a bottom surface of the conical section.

A method for manufacturing traces of a printed circuit board (PCB) comprises an application of the periodic pulse reverse (PPR) pattern plating process. In the first stage, walls and bottoms in drilled holes of the PCB are modified with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) so that the vias can be formed by filling with copper and a very thin copper layer can be formed on the substrate through the electroplating process. In the second stage, a pattern of very fine traces with width/space less than 30/30 m is formed on the thin copper layer and then the traces are formed through the PPR pattern plating process. After removing unwanted copper layer, the traces with even thicknesses and square profiles are achieved and thus conform to requirements of the high density interconnection (HDI) technology.
