Abstract:
The present invention is directed to non-lithographic patterning by laser (or similar-type energy beam) ablation, where the ablation system ultimately results in circuitry features that are relative free from debris induced over-plating defects (debris relating to the ablation process) and fully additive plating induced over-plating defects. Compositions of the invention include a circuit board precursor having an insulating substrate and a cover layer. The insulating substrate is made from a dielectric material and also a metal oxide activatable filler. The cover layer can be sacrificial or non-sacrificial and is used to remediate unwanted debris arising from the ablation process.
Abstract:
A semiconductor sensor component including a housing with a cavity and a sensor chip and a method for producing the same are described herein. The housing includes an opening to the surroundings of the housing and the sensor chip includes a sensor region which faces the opening. The sensor chip is embedded in the cavity of the housing into a rubber-elastic layer with its rear side and its edge sides, where the rubber-elastic layer includes cleavable included organometallic or inorganic metallic complexes. The metals of the complexes lie in a freely accessible manner on the top side of the rubber-elastic layer and form metallic nuclei for wiring lines which electrically connect the sensor region of the sensor chip to contact pads in the cavity of the cavity housing.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for making a circuitry comprising conductive tracks, chips and micro-vias, at the top surface of a dielectric (303) consisting of a polymer matrix, a compound capable of inducing subsequent metallization and, if required one or several non-conductive and inert fillers, said dielectric (303) covering a level of circuitry (302) or metallized layer, which comprises steps which consist in: a) perforating right through said dielectric (303) without perforating the subjacent metallized layer or the subjacent level of circuitry (302), so as to form one or several micro-vias (304) at desired sites; b) forming, by metallization, metal tracks (312), chips (313) and micro-vias (311) at the surface of the dielectric (314) and of the micro-vias (304), while providing selective protection by depositing a protective layer.
Abstract:
A fabrication method of a printed wiring board realizing high adhesion strength of a patterned conductive layer while keeping the high insulation reliability between adjacent conductive paths. First, an adhesive material is prepared, which is a mixture of a photo-setting resin as a matrix, fine particles of a photolyzable resin dispersed in the photo-setting resin, and a metal-organic compound/complex mixed with the photo-setting resin. The adhesive material is coated on an insulative base material to form an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is then selectively exposed to light, selectively curing the photo-setting resin and selectively photolyzing the particles of the photolyzable resin. The exposed adhesive layer is developed by an alkaline developer solution, thereby transferring the pattern on the mask to the adhesive layer and removing the photolyzed particles for surface roughening of the remaining, unexposed parts of the adhesive layer. The metal-organic compound/complex in the unexposed parts of the adhesive layer is reduced for activation, causing the metal-organic compound/complex to reveal plating catalytic activity. A conductive layer is selectively formed on the unexposed parts of the adhesive layer by electroless plating performed under the plating catalytic activity of the activated metal-organic compound/complex.
Abstract:
A masking method employing a photodefinable resin as a permanent dielectric mask, in which the resin contains a catalytic filler that when activated enables direct electroless plating of the resin. The resin serves to simplify selective electroplating of isolated surface features such as metal pads, while also improving the topology of the external surface of the circuit board, particularly when small metal pads require a controlled volume of a reflowable metal. The resin is preferably photodefined to eliminate recessed areas around the metal pads, thereby promoting definition of the metal features, and yielding a nearly planar surface. Additional features that can be provided with the method include external conductive ground planes and electromagnetic shield layers within a multilayer circuit board. The masking method can be advantageously used with both reflowable metals and metal alloys, such as tin/lead, and nonreflowable metals and metal alloys, such as gold, palladium and platinum.

The layers are stacked to form a laminate of crossing layers, and the laminate has a core plane relative to which the crossing layers are in mirror image relationship so that the laminate has orthotropic properties. The laminate comprises layers of adhesive material present at least between any pair of layers of UD-reinforced matrix material having different directions of orientation.
