摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus for coating the internal surface of nano-scale cavities on a substrate are contemplated. A first fluid of high wettability is applied to the nano-scale cavity, filling the cavity. A second fluid carrying a conductor or a catalyst is applied over the opening of the nano-scale cavity. The second fluid has a lower vapor pressure than the first fluid. The first fluid is converted to a gas, for example by heating the substrate. The gas exits the nano-scale cavity, creating a negative pressure or vacuum in the nano-scale cavity. The negative pressure draws the second fluid into the nano-scale cavity. The conductor is deposited on the interior surface of the nano-scale cavity, preferably less than 10 nm thick.

摘要: The present invention relates to methods and systems for deposition of metal conductors using asymmetrical electrolytic plating, in which one surface (e.g., top) of a substrate is coated with an electrical conductor, and an opposite (e.g., bottom, or other) surface of which is not coated. A channel is formed between the two sides of the substrate, passing through the substrate and, in some embodiments, passing through the conductor. Electrolytic plating is performed such that metal is deposited from the edge of the conduct proximal to the channel, along the side walls of the channel, and up to, and in some embodiments on to, the other side of the substrate. Use of etching or plate resist layers are also contemplated.

摘要: The present invention relates to methods and systems that utilize a catalyst or thin metal film by atomic level deposition (ALD) of one or more metals that allows fine traces deposition to the trench formed in a dielectric material, thereby minimizing potential physical damage due to embedded conductor format and making the fine space between traces to prevent electromigration in the traces.

摘要: Devices, methods, and systems for forming an electrical circuit out of a conductor embedded in two layers of substrate are disclosed. Portions of the two layers of substrate and the conductor are removed, forming a cavity through the two layers and the conductor. A blocker material is deposited along the wall of the cavity. A portion of the blocker material and adjacent layer of the substrate is removed forming another cavity in contact with a part of the conductor. A surface of the second cavity is then electroless plated by a conductive metal to form part of the electrical circuit.

A channel is formed between the two sides of the substrate, passing through the substrate and, in some embodiments, passing through the conductor. Electrolytic plating is performed such that metal is deposited from the edge of the conduct proximal to the channel, along the side walls of the channel, and up to, and in some embodiments on to, the other side of the substrate. Use of etching or plate resist layers are also contemplated.

摘要: Systems, methods, and devices related to catalyzed metal foils are disclosed. Contemplated metal foils have a bottom surface, preferably roughened to Ra of at least 0.1 μm, bearing a catalyst material. The metal foils are etchable, typically of aluminum or derivative thereof, and is less than 500 μm thick. Methods and systems for forming circuits from catalyzed metal foils are also disclosed. The catalyst material bearing surface of the metal foil is applied to a substrate and laminated, in some embodiments with a thermoset resin or thermoplastic resin therebetween or an organic material first coating the catalytic material. The metal foil is removed to expose the catalyst material, and a conductor is plated to the catalyst material.
