A stacked body includes a first resin layer including a thermoplastic first resin as a main material, a pattern including a conductor layer on one principal surface of the first resin layer, and a second resin layer including a thermoplastic second resin as a main material. The first resin layer is softer than the second resin layer. The first resin layer has a lower dielectric constant than the second resin layer. A pattern including the conductor layer is at least partially embedded in the first resin layer, and includes a portion in contact with the first resin layer along a layer direction (X-Y plane) of the first resin layer and a portion in contact with the first resin layer along a stacking direction (X-Z plane) of the first resin layer, the second resin layer, and the pattern including the conductor layer.

A power electronic substrate includes a metallic baseplate having a first and second surface opposing each other. An electrically insulative layer also has first and second surfaces opposing each other, its first surface coupled to the second surface of the metallic baseplate. A plurality of metallic traces each include first and second surfaces opposing each other, their first surfaces coupled to the second surface of the electrically insulative layer. At least one of the metallic traces has a thickness measured along a direction perpendicular to the second surface of the metallic baseplate that is greater than a thickness of another one of the metallic traces also measured along a direction perpendicular to the second surface of the metallic baseplate. In implementations the electrically insulative layer is an epoxy or a ceramic material. In implementations the metallic traces are copper and are plated with a nickel layer at their second surfaces.

Disclosed is a printed circuit board (PCB) design for a multi-flex PCB system aimed at wearable devices that is capable of meeting requirements such as ultra-thin thickness profile of the board (thereby allowing 360 degree of bendability) and less manufacturing cost, as desired by consumer electronics, such as wearable motion controlled mobile gaming devices. The PCB design suggests two thickness levels for the multi-flex PCB system. The thicker parts are four-layer sections with 20 mils thickness and thinner parts are two-layer sections with 7-8 mils thickness. The ground and supply planes are only solid on the four-layer sections. Since the two-layer segments including signal paths are completely bendable, the entire rectangular board can bend as a cycle. This two thickness-level structure can be easily modified to three thickness-level structure with the third three-layer sections with 12-13 mils thickness. The three thickness-level structure is to accommodate more complicated electronics circuit design.

A resin multilayer substrate includes a multilayer body including resin layers and adhesive layers that are laminated, via conductors in the resin layers, and bonding portions in the adhesive layers.

The bonding portion includes an organic substance, or has a higher void content rate per unit plane sectional area than the via conductor. At least a portion of each of the bonding portions contacts the gas high-permeable layers.

A multilayer resin substrate includes a stacked body including first resin layers made of a thermoplastic resin, conductor patterns on the stacked body, and a protective layer including a second resin layer made of a thermosetting resin.

The protective layer covers at least the bent portion, on the main surface of the stacked body.
