Abstract:
A surface of an object to be plated is subjected to a treatment for palladium catalyst impartation to impart a palladium catalyst to the surface of an insulating part thereof. A palladium conductor layer is formed on the insulating part from a solution for palladium conductor layer formation which contains a palladium compound, an amine compound, and a reducing agent. On the palladium conductor layer is then directly formed a copper deposit by electroplating. Thus, the work is converted to a conductor with the solution for palladium conductor layer formation, which is neutral, without using an electroless copper plating solution which is highly alkaline. Consequently, the polyimide is prevented from being attacked and no adverse influence is exerted on adhesion. By adding an azole compound to the solution for palladium conductor layer formation, a palladium conductor layer is prevented from depositing on copper. Thus, the reliability of connection between the copper part present on a substrate and the copper deposit formed by electroplating is significantly high.
Abstract:
A multilayer printed circuit board (5010) comprises a core board (5030) and, as constructed on both sides thereof, a buildup wiring layer obtainable by building up an interlayer resin insulating layer (5050, 5150) and a conductor layer (5058, 5158) alternately with said conductor layers (5058, 5158) being interconnected by via holes (5160). The via holes (5060, 5160) are formed immediately over plated-through holes (5036) in the manner of plugging the through holes (5016) in the core board (5030). In a process for manufacturing the multilayer printed circuit board (5010), the through holes (5016) are pierced by laser light to be not larger than 200 µm in diameter.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a multilayer printed circuit board comprises a step for providing openings in an interlayer insulating layer (4002), and a step for filling up the openings with a plating metal to construct via holes (4007) and, at the same time, build up an upper-layer conductor layer (4005). The electroplating is performed using an aqueous solution containing a metal ion and 0.1 to 1.5 mmol/L of at least one additive selected from the group consisting of thioureas, cyanides and polyalkylene oxides as a plating solution.
Abstract:
A method of forming circuit lines on a substrate by applying a roughened conductive metal layer using a copper foil carrier. The copper foil is etched away, leaving the roughened conductive metal embedded in the surface of the substrate. The conductive metal may be treated to remove an oxide layer. A photoresist may also be applied over the treated conductive metal layer to define a fine line circuit pattern. The photoresist defining the fine line circuit pattern is then removed to expose trenches in accordance with the desired circuit pattern. Copper is applied into the trenches over the exposed conductive metal, and the remaining photoresist, and conductive metal underlying the remaining photoresist, is removed to finish the fine line circuit pattern.

A method for manufacturing a printed wiring board having a high-density wiring and a highly-reliable connection between conductor layers even if the annealing process is omitted because a conductor circuit made of an electroplating layer excellent in crystallinity and uniform electrodepositability and formed on a base sheet and a via hole are provided. The method comprising forming an interlayer resin insulating layer on a conductor wiring forming board, making an opening for making a via hole in the interlayer resin insulating layer, forming an electroless plating layer (1008) on the interlayer resin insulating layer, applying a resist film (1003) to the layer (1008), forming an electroplating film thereon, removing the resist film, and removing the electroless plating layer by etching so as to form a conductor wiring and a via hole characterized in that the electroless plating layer (1008) serves as a cathode, the plating metal serves as an anode, and electroplating is performed intermittently while maintaining the voltage between the anode and cathode at a constant value.

A laminate for use as a surface laminate in a multi-layer printed circuit board. The laminate is comprised of a film substrate (12) formed of a first polymeric material. At least one layer of a flash material (14) is applied to a first side of the film substrate. At least one layer of copper (16) is disposed on the layer of flash material. An adhesive layer (18) formed of a second polymer material has a first surface that is attached to a second side of the film substrate.

A method of making a plate through hole printed circuit board, comprises the steps of: a) forming conductive circuit elements (10) on two opposed faces of a paper phenolic containing substrate (11); b) coating the substrate and circuit elements with a de-sensitising material (12); c) forming holes (13) through the substrate, each hole passing through a circuit element on each of the opposed faces of the board; d) treating the board to render the substrate exposed in the holes receptive to the action of a metallic plating solution; e) removing the de-sensitising material; f) printing an acid-resist mask (14) on to both faces of the board, the mask leaving exposed only a small area of the board surrounding each hole therethrough; and g) treating the board with an electroless nickel-plating solution to deposit nickel (15) in the holes to the desired thickness to provide an electrical connection through each hole between two opposed conductive circuit elements.
