Abstract:
Printed circuit boards, cards and chip carriers are fabricated by treating an already circuitized substrate with a swelling agent, then treating the circuitized substrate with a composition containing an alkaline permanganate, a chromate and/or chlorite and then applying a metal layer to coat the circuitized portion of the substrate.
Abstract:
After the stripping or etching away of metal to expose surface areas of insulating resin material in a printed circuit process based upon metal-clad insulating substrate material, the exposed surface areas of insulating material are contacted with a liquid treatment composition, comprised of an aqueous acidic solution containing fluoride ion, effective to remove from the surface areas residual metal species otherwise associated therewith, such that the surface insulation resistance afforded by the insulating surface areas of the printed circuit is improved.
Abstract:
A method for removing residual precious metal catalyst from a plastic, metal-plated surface is disclosed. The method involves the oxidation of the precious metal without degrading the plated metal or the plastic, followed by washing away the oxidized precious metal. This invention further includes methods for the plating of metal directly on the surface of a plastic substrate.
Abstract:
A method for producing high resolution etched circuit patterns from a metal clad laminate of a conductive species on a nonconductive substrate is provided. The laminate is etched with an etchant solution for the conductive species to form a circuit pattern. The etched laminate is contacted with an oxidizing agent and aqueous acid to remove redeposited conductive species from the exposed substrate adjacent the circuit pattern. The side walls of the resulting circuit pattern are substantially vertical and free of "halo".
