Printed circuit board and method for manufacturing the same

Disclosed are a printed circuit board and a method for manufacturing the same. The printed circuit board includes a core insulating layer, at least one via formed through the core insulating layer, an inner circuit layer buried in the core insulating layer, and an outer circuit layer on a top surface or a bottom surface of the core insulating layer, wherein the via includes a first part, a second part below the first part, a third part between the first and second parts, and at least one barrier layer including a metal different from a metal of the first to third parts. The inner circuit layer and the via are simultaneously formed so that the process steps are reduced. Since odd circuit layers are provided, the printed circuit board has a light and slim structure.
