Abstract:
The method comprises depositing a thin layer of a first metal having a relatively high degree of solubility in a particular etchant over both plated areas (if a previously deposited pattern is being repaired) and unplated areas on a substrate, this first metal being catalytic to electroless deposition of a second metal to be subsequently deposited, electrolessly depositing on the first metal either an overall pattern of areas of a second metal which has a relatively low degree of solubility in the etchant or a pattern limited to parts of a previously deposited pattern that were missing or incompletely formed, and then treating the plated areas with the etchant, where desired, so that the first metal is removed where it is not covered by the second metal but the second metal is substantially unaffected.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an ultra-thin copper foil with a carrier foil and a method for manufacturing an embedded substrate by using the same, the ultra-thin copper foil with a carrier foil including: a carrier foil; a non-etching release layer on the carrier foil; a first ultra-thin copper foil layer on the non-etching release layer; an etch stop layer on the first ultra-thin copper foil layer; and a second ultra-thin copper foil layer on the etch stop layer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for producing an interconnect. An electronic device of the present disclosure includes a deformable substrate including a circuit. The circuit includes a channel extending from a first portion of the deformable substrate to a second portion of the deformable substrate. A first circuit component is adjacent to the first portion of the deformable substrate. A second circuit component is adjacent to the second portion of the deformable substrate. A first metal material is formed overlaying a first portion of the deformable substrate including a first portion of the channel. A second metal material interfaces with the first metal material, thereby substantially occupying an interior volume of the channel.
Abstract:
A high density region for a low density circuit. At least a first liquid dielectric layer is deposited on the first surface of a first circuitry layer. The dielectric layer is imaged to create plurality of first recesses. Surfaces of the first recesses are plated electro-lessly with a conductive material to form first conductive structures electrically coupled to, and extending generally perpendicular to, the first circuitry layer. A plating resist is applied. A conductive material is electro-plated to the first conductive structure to substantially fill the first recesses, and the plating resist is removed.
Abstract:
Some novel features pertain to a substrate that includes a first dielectric layer, a first interconnect, a first cavity, and a first electroless metal layer. The first dielectric layer includes a first surface and a second surface. The first interconnect is on the first surface of the substrate layer. The first cavity traverses the first surface of the first dielectric layer. The first electroless metal layer is formed at least partially in the first cavity. The first electroless metal layer defines a second interconnect embedded in the first dielectric layer. In some implementations, the substrate further includes a core layer. The core layer includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface of the core layer is coupled to the second surface of the first dielectric layer. In some implementations, the substrate further includes a second dielectric layer.
Abstract:
A thin-film multi-layer micro-wire structure includes a substrate and a layer located on the substrate or forming a part of the substrate. One or more micro-channels are located in the layer. Each micro-channel has a width less than or equal to 20 microns. A cured electrically conductive micro-wire is located only within each micro-channel. The micro-wire has a thickness less than or equal to 20 microns, including silver nano-particles, and having a percent ratio of silver that is greater than or equal to 40% by weight. An electrolessly plated layer is located at least partially within each micro-channel between the micro-wire and the layer surface and in electrical contact with the micro-wire. The plated layer has a thickness less than a thickness of the micro-wire so that the micro-wire and plated layer form the thin-film multi-layer micro-wire.
Abstract:
A system for backside metallization and reinforcement of glass substrates to provide support and protection during handling and processing of the glass substrates. A sacrificial substrate is removeably attached to a glass substrate comprising through-holes, backside metallized pads, and under-bump metallization (UBM) pads enclosing the backside metallized pads. The sacrificial substrate comprises a sacrificial layer, an opaque film, and an adhesive. The sacrificial substrate protects the backside metallized pads and UBM pads, and reinforces the glass substrate.
