    Abstract: A circuit board is formed from a catalytic laminate having a resin rich surface with catalytic particles dispersed below a surface exclusion depth. The catalytic laminate is subjected to a drilling and blanket surface plasma etch operation to expose the catalytic particles, followed by an electroless plating operation which deposits a thin layer of conductive material on the surface. A photo-masking step follows to define circuit traces, after which an electro-plating deposition occurs, followed by a resist strip operation and a quick etch to remove electroless copper which was previously covered by photoresist.

    Abstract: A circuit board is formed from a catalytic laminate having a resin rich surface with catalytic particles dispersed below a surface exclusion depth. Trace channels and apertures are formed into the catalytic laminate, electroless plated with a metal such as copper, filled with a conductive paste containing metallic particles, which are then melted to form traces. In a variation, multiple circuit board layers have channels formed into the surface below the exclusion depth, apertures formed, are electroless plated, and the channels and apertures filled with metal particles. Several such catalytic laminate layers are placed together and pressed together under elevated temperature until the catalytic laminate layers laminate together and metal particles form into traces for a multi-layer circuit board.

    Abstract: A circuit board is formed from a non-catalytic laminate coated with an optically curable catalytic adhesive, which, after curing with an optical source such as UV, has a resin rich surface with catalytic particles dispersed below a surface exclusion depth. The catalytic laminate is subjected to a drilling and blanket surface plasma etch operation to expose the catalytic particles, followed by an electroless plating operation which deposits a thin layer of conductive material on the surface. A photo-masking step follows to define circuit traces, after which an electro-plating deposition occurs, followed by a resist strip operation and a quick etch to remove electroless copper which was previously covered by photoresist.

    Abstract: A circuit board has a dielectric core, a foil top surface, and a thin foil bottom surface with a foil backing of sufficient thickness to absorb heat from a laser drilling operation to prevent the penetration of the thin foil bottom surface during laser drilling. A sequence of steps including a laser drilling step, removing the foil backing step, electroless plating step, patterned resist step, electroplating step, resist strip step, tin plate step, and copper etch step are performed, which provide dot vias of fine linewidth and resolution.

    Abstract: A catalytic laminate is formed from a resin, a fiber reinforced layer, and catalytic particles such that the catalytic particles are disposed throughout the catalytic laminate but excluded from the outer surface of the catalytic laminate. The catalytic laminate has trace channels and vias formed to make a single or multi-layer catalytic laminate printed circuit board. Apertures with locations which match the locations of integrated circuit pads are formed in the laminate PCB. The integrated circuit is bonded to the catalytic laminate PCB, and the integrated circuit and laminate are both subjected to electroless plating, thereby electrically connecting the integrated circuit to the single or multi-layer catalytic laminate PCB.
