摘要:
A printed circuit board for use in an electronic device package such as a ball grid array package or organic chip carrier package includes a glass-free dielectric for separating and insulating power cores, circuitry or plated through holes from each other to prevent shorts caused by a migration of conductive material along glass-based prepreg substrates.

Bridging between electrically conductive circuit features during conformal plating is prevented by avoiding the deposition of catalytic seed material onto non-circuit areas of the substrate. Preparatory to forming electrical circuit features on a nonconductive substrate by the full additive process, extraneous seed material is either trapped between two layers of a photoimageable film, whereby it is unavailable during plating, or deposited on the surface of an aqueous photoimageable film, which is removed prior to plating. The method embodying the present invention eliminates the need for seed removal after initial plating and prior to conformal plating of a precious metal over the initial plating.

A process for making a circuitized substrate is defined wherein the substrate is treated with two different, e.g., additive and subtractive, metallization processes. The process is thus able to effectively produce substrates including conductive features, e.g., high density circuit lines and chip heat-sinking pads, of two different degrees of resolution in a cost effective and expeditious manner. The resulting product is also defined.
摘要:
Circuit boards are manufactured by forming a substrate with a dielectric surface and laminating a metal foil onto the substrate. The metal foil is patterned to form a first wiring layer. A permanent photoimagable dielectric layer is formed over the wiring layer and via holes are formed through the dielectric layer over pads and conductors of the wiring layer. Holes are formed through the substrate and substrate surfaces including the photoimagable dielectric, walls of the via holes, and walls of the through holes subjected to an electroless copper plating process. The process includes seeding the surface, coating the surface with a first solution containing surfactant and electroplating in a second solution in which the level of surfactant is regulated by determining the surface tension and metering surfactant addition to the second solution depending on the determination of surface tension. The copper plating on the photoimagable dielectric is patterned to form an exterior wiring layer which is covered by solder resist with windows over lands around the through holes and surface mount connection pads of the exterior wiring layer to form a high density circuitized substrate. Surface mount components and/or pin in hole components are attached to the circuitized substrate with solder joints between terminals of the components and the lands and/or connection pads to form a high density circuit board assembly. One or more of the circuit board assemblies are mounted in an enclosure with a power supply, CPU, RAM, and I/O means to form an information handling system with increased performance due to shorter signal flight times due to the higher device density.
