A printed wiring board includes a core substrate, a first build-up layer, and a second build-up layer. Each build-up layer includes a first insulating layer including reinforcing material, a second resin insulating layer not containing reinforcing material, a first via conductor through the first insulating layer, and a second via conductor through the second insulating layer such that the top diameter of the first via conductor is substantially equal to the top diameter of the second via conductor and that the bottom diameter of the first via conductor is smaller than the bottom diameter of the second via conductor. The conductor layer on the first insulating layer includes a metal foil, a seed layer and an electrolytic plating film. The conductor layer on the second insulating-layer includes a seed layer and an electrolytic plating film and has thickness substantially equal to thickness of the conductor layer on the first insulating-layer.

A printed board includes: a plate-shaped base member having an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface and having an insulation property; a first metal layer disposed on the upper surface; and a second metal layer disposed on the lower surface. The base member has a through-hole penetrating the base member in a thickness direction thereof. The second metal layer is spaced apart from the through-hole by a predetermined distance in a bottom view. The printed board may further include a third metal layer that continuously covers the first metal layer, the second metal layer, and an inner surface of the through-hole. A light emitting device includes the printed board and a light emitting element mounted on the printed board such as to be electrically connected with a wiring pattern composed of the first metal layer, the second metal layer, and the third metal layer.

A lighting device including a light-emitter including light emitting elements, and a support having a first surface that carries a wiring line electrically connecting element electrodes of the light emitting elements and a light emitting surface, and a substrate including a base substrate, a conductor formed on a first surface of the base substrate, an adhesive member formed on a second surface of the base substrate, and a through-hole penetrating the substrate. A space is formed between the substrate and the light-emitter to communicate with a bottomed hole formed in a location of the through-hole as a result of adhering an adhesive surface of the adhesive member to a surface of the light-emitter having the wiring line formed thereon. The wiring line is connected to the conductor via a filler filling the bottomed hole, and the space is located outside an opening of the bottomed hole.

A method for manufacturing a multilayer wiring board includes a step (1) and a step (2). The step (1) disposes a hole for through-hole, a squirt of metal foils, and a lower space. The squirt of the metal foils on both the sides of the insulating layer is formed at an opening of the hole for through-hole. The lower space is formed between the squirt of the metal foils and an inner wall of the hole for through-hole. The step (2) plugs up the hole for through-hole by forming an electrolytic filled plating layer at an inside of the hole for through-hole and on the metal foils on both the sides of the insulating layer. The plugging of the hole for through-hole in the step (2) is performed by once decreasing a current density of an electrolytic filled plating in a middle of the electrolytic filled plating and then increasing the current density again.
