Disclosed are a semifinished product (2) and a support component (1) which is formed therewith and is used for electrical circuit designs that are placed thereupon and make it possible to produce prototypes or small series in an inexpensive and time-saving manner. In order to be able to do so, the semifinished product (2) comprises a planar, e.g. flexible, basic support material, across the entire area of which through-contacts (7) that are formed with nanovias are disposed in a regular constant pattern. Such a component can be produced using a single exposure template for forming the nanovias while making it possible to produce circuit designs that have any appearance on the surfaces thereof.
Abstract:
A circuit board (200, 300, 400) design is disclosed that is useful in high speed differential signal applications uses either a via arrangement or a circuit trace exit structure. In the via arrangement, sets of differential signal pair vias (301, 303, 401, 402) and an associated ground (302) are arranged adjacent to each other in a repeating pattern. The differential signal vias (301, 303, 591) of each pair are spaced closer to their associated ground via (302a, 593a) than the spacing between the adjacent differential signal pair associated ground (302b, 593b) so that differential signal vias exhibit a preference for electrically coupling to their associated ground vias. The circuit trace exit structure involves the exit portions of the circuit traces (420, 550) of the differential signal vias (401, 402, 591) to follow a path where the traces then meet with and join to the transmission line portions (552) of the conductive traces.

The invention also relates to a multi-layer circuit assembly.
Abstract:
The process for producing subsequently contactable contact points between two conductive track planes on a circuit substrate separated by an electrically insulating layer makes it possible to produce, for example, a basic conductor pattern which can subsequently be easily adapted to requirements. By laying windows in the conductive track planes out in such a way that, when the electrically insulating layer is subsequently through-etched due to under-etching, rod-like parts connected to the aperture periphery are revealed between or in the apertures which can be brought into contact with electrically conductive parts of the other conductive track plane, these conductive tracks can be electrically interconnected by mechanical bending.
