Abstract
A circuit board and method of manufacturing a circuit board. The circuit board includes a substrate, a conductor layer formed on the substrate, and an insulation layer formed on the substrate and the conductor layer, the insulating layer having an opening with an undercut therein, the opening reaching the conductor layer. A metal layer is formed in the opening of the insulation layer and connected to the conductor layer, a solder layer formed in the opening of the insulation layer and outside of the opening; and an alloy layer formed in a boundary region between the metal layer and the solder layer in the opening. The alloy layer includes a metal of the metal layer and a composition of the solder layer, the alloy layer being more fragile than the metal layer and being formed in a position misaligned from an edge of the undercut of the opening formed on the insulation layer.
