The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a circuit board including the steps of preparing a substrate containing silicon at least at a surface, applying a paste containing aluminum particles onto the substrate, forming a conductor layer on the substrate by firing the substrate to which the paste has been applied, forming a resist film having a specific pattern on the conductor layer, and removing with an etchant, the conductor layer in a portion where the resist film has not been formed, the etchant containing fluoride ions and metal ions of a metal M of which standard electrode potential is higher in value than a standard electrode potential of aluminum, and to a circuit board which can be manufactured with such a method.

A method of fabricating a capacitance touch panel module includes forming a plurality of first conductive patterns on a substrate comprising a touching area and a peripheral area along a first orientation, a plurality of second conductive patterns along a second orientation, and a plurality of connecting portions in the touching area; forming a plurality of insulated protrusions, in which each insulated protrusion covering one connecting portion, and forming an insulated frame on the peripheral area; and forming a bridging member on each insulated protrusion.

A wiring board that includes: a wiring conductor; a first dielectric layer around the wiring conductor and containing a first glass and a first ceramic filler; and a second dielectric layer interposed between the wiring conductor and the first dielectric layer, the second dielectric layer being in contact with the wiring conductor and the first dielectric layer, and the second dielectric layer containing a second glass and a second ceramic filler. A sintering temperature of the second glass contained in the second dielectric layer is higher than a sintering temperature of the wiring conductor, and a grain size of the second glass contained in the second dielectric layer is smaller than a grain size of the first glass contained in the first dielectric layer.

A circuit board that includes a ceramic substrate; a protruding electrode on a surface of the ceramic substrate; and a protective layer containing a metal oxide and covering at least a portion of a lateral surface of the protruding electrode and extending continuously across a boundary between the portion of the lateral surface of the protruding electrode and the surface of the ceramic substrate.

An electronic component that includes: an element body; and an insulating film covering an outer surface of the element body. The insulating film has a mix layer and a glass layer. The mix layer has a first glass and powder particles. The glass layer contains a second glass and has a smaller content percentage of the powder particles than the mix layer. The mix layer is on a side of the insulating film closer to the element body when viewed from the glass layer.
