A sidewall is between the first surface and the second surface, and the substrate comprises a glass layer. In an embodiment, a via is provided through the substrate between the first surface and the second surface, and the via is electrically conductive. In an embodiment, a layer in contact with the sidewall of the substrate surrounds a perimeter of the substrate.
Abstract:
A build-up layer may be fabricated by forming a microelectronic dielectric layer comprising a dielectric material with a metallization catalyst dispersed therein, forming a primer layer on the microelectronic dielectric layer, and forming a recess through the primer layer and into the dielectric material layer. An activation layer may be formed in or on the exposed microelectronic dielectric layer within the recess, wherein the primer layer acts as a mask. A metal layer may be formed on the activation layer, such as with an electroless process. Thus, the resolution of the metal layer deposition may be precisely controlled by the process used to form the recess.

Abstract:
Embodiments describe the selective electroless plating of dielectric layers. According to an embodiment, a dielectric layer is patterned to form one or more patterned surfaces. A seed layer is then selectively formed along the patterned surfaces of the dielectric layer. An electroless plating process is used to deposit metal only on the patterned surfaces of the dielectric layer. According to an embodiment, the dielectric layer is doped with an activator precursor. Laser assisted local activation is performed on the patterned surfaces of the dielectric layer in order to selectively form a seed layer only on the patterned surfaces of the dielectric layer by reducing the activator precursor to an oxidation state of zero. According to an additional embodiment, a seed layer is selectively formed on the patterned surfaces of the dielectric layer with a colloidal or ionic seeding solution.
