Abstract:
This disclosure relates to materials prepared using a laser-direct structuring (LDS) method. The LDS materials of the present disclosure comprise polymeric film or polymeric sheet structures containing a LDS additive and which can undergo laser-direct structuring and chemical plating to form conductive paths on their surface. The present disclosure finds use, for example, in the automotive, electronics, RFID, communications, and medical device industries.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing an electrical conductive structure, in particular a conductor path, on a non-conductive support material which contains an additive having at least one metal compound. Said support material is at least partially exposed to electromagnetic radiation in order to activate the metal compounds contained in the additive, catalytically active germs thus forming in the activated areas with respect to an external, currentless metallization, said germs generating the electrically conductive structure on the non-conductive support material. During the method and prior to metallization, in order to efficiently and economically increase the proportion and the activity of the catalytically active germs, at least one part of the germs in the activated areas is substituted by a chemical exchange reaction by means of at least one catalytically active metal as an exchange metal. Also, the metallization takes place on the exchange metal and the optionally remaining, catalytically active germs in an external currentless metallization bath. As a result, in particular all two-step metallization processes become superfluous due to the fact that the claimed essentially increased catalytic activity allows a simple and fast metallization. The claimed method is suitable, preferably, also for plastic materials as support material which display a lower metallization suitability.

Abstract:
A printed circuit board includes a laminate substrate. The laminate substrate includes catalytic material that resists metal plating except where a surface of the catalytic material is ablated. Metal traces are formed within in trace channels within the laminate substrate. The channels extend below the surface of the catalytic material.
Abstract:
A conductive pattern is prepared in a polymeric layer that has (a) a reactive polymer comprising pendant tertiary alkyl ester groups, (b) a compound that provides an acid upon exposure to radiation having a λ max of at least 150 nm and up to and including 450 nm, and (c) a crosslinking agent. The polymeric layer is patternwise exposed to provide a polymeric layer comprising non-exposed regions and exposed regions comprising a polymer comprising carboxylic acid groups. The exposed regions are contacted with electroless seed metal ions to form a pattern of electroless seed metal ions. The pattern of electroless seed metal ions is then reduced to provide a pattern of corresponding electroless seed metal nuclei. The corresponding electroless seed metal nuclei are then electrolessly plated with a conductive metal.
