An apparatus is used in preparing a printed circuit board (PCB). The apparatus can include a common chassis, an inkjet printer mounted on the common chassis, and a pattern exposer mounted on the common chassis. The inkjet printer can selectively print unexposed photosensitive patterns on a PCB substrate with a photosensitive ink. The pattern exposer can expose said photosensitive patterns to radiation thereby defining exposed patterns. A photosensitive ink for use in an ink jet printer can include a photoresist, a solvent, a humectant, a surfactant, an adhesion promoter, and a basic solution. The adhesion promoter is operative to increase anisotropy of a wet etching process of a copper component on which said photosensitive ink is printed.

A wiring circuit board includes a mounting region for mounting an electronic element and a circuit region surrounding the mounting region. The mounting region includes a terminal. The circuit region includes a circuit to be electrically connected to the terminal. The circuit region includes a metal support layer, a base insulating layer, and a conductive layer including the circuit. The mounting region does not include the metal support layer and includes a base insulating layer having an opening portion, and the conductive layer including the terminal. The terminal is disposed in the opening portion of the base insulating layer.

Techniques for low- or zero-misaligned vias are disclosed. In one embodiment, a high-photosensitivity, medium-photosensitivity, and low-photosensitivity layer are applied to a substrate and exposed at the same time with use of a multi-tone mask. After being developed, one layer forms a mold for a first via, one layer forms a mold for a conductive trace and a second via, and one layer forms an overhang over the position for the second via. The molds formed by the photosensitive layers are filled with copper and then etched. The overhang prevents the top of the copper infill below the overhang region from being etched. As such, the region under the overhang forms a pillar or column after etching, which can be used as a via. Other embodiments are disclosed.
