Abstract
Abstract A method of fabricating a body having a plurality of conductors is disclosed. The method comprises forming a dielectric base which has a plurality of extensions projecting therefrom, the extensions corresponding to the desired plurality of conductors. A conductive path is then formed on each of the extensions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A method of fabricating a body having a plurality of conductors, which comprises: forming a dielectric body having a plurality of first body portions configured to enhance electrodeposition thereon relative to electrodeposition on a second body portion, said plurality of first body portions corresponding to the desired plurality of conductors; depositing an electrically conductive coat on said body including at least said plurality of first body portions and said second body portion; electroplating said coated body to form a first metal deposit on said plurality of first body portions and a second metal deposit on said second body portion, said first deposit being greater than said second deposit; and etching said electroplated body to remove at least said second metal deposit to form a body having only said plurality of first body portions metal deposited.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
135 words
A method of fabricating a body having a plurality of conductors, which comprises: forming a dielectric body having a plurality of first body portions configured to enhance electrodeposition thereon relative to electrodeposition on a second body portion, said plurality of first body portions corresponding to the desired plurality of conductors; depositing an electrically conductive coat on said body including at least said plurality of first body portions and said second body portion; electroplating said coated body to form a first metal deposit on said plurality of first body portions and a second metal deposit on said second body portion, said first deposit being greater than said second deposit; and etching said electroplated body to remove at least said second metal deposit to form a body having only said plurality of first body portions metal deposited.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method as defined in claim 1 wherein said first body portions comprise extensions projecting from said body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
9 words
The body formed by the process of claim 1.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
86 words
A method of fabricating a body having a plurality of conductors, which comprises: (a) deforming a dielectric base comprising an organic polymer material with a memory to form a plurality of extensions projecting therefrom, said extensions corresponding to the plurality of conductors; (b) forming a conductive path on each of said formed extensions to form the plurality of conductors; (c) treating said deformed base to essentially render said deformed base back to its original non-deformed state; and (d) electrodepositing a metallic layer over the conductive paths.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
86 words
A method of fabricating a body having a plurality of conductors, which comprises: (a) deforming a dielectric base comprising an organic polymer material with a memory to form a plurality of extensions projecting therefrom, said extensions corresponding to the plurality of conductors; (b) forming a conductive path on each of said formed extensions to form the plurality of conductors; (c) treating said deformed base to essentially render said deformed base back to its original non-deformed state; and (d) electrodepositing a metallic layer over the conductive paths.
