Abstract
Abstract The herein disclosed process comprises forming conductors of desired shape on a substrate comprised of a metal that is selectively etchable with respect to the metal of conductors, such that the conductors are formed on both sides of the substrate and that the conductors have at least one constricted portion at the substrate side opposite to that on which a base will be laminated. Then, the panel base is laminated onto the appropriate side of the substrate, and the substrate metal is etched selectively with respect to the conductor metal through the entire thickness of the substrate until the metal of the latter is fully removed from under the constricted portions only.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
300 words
A process for manufacturing a printed circuit board having at least two conductor layers, comprising the steps of: disposing first and second masks on first and second opposed major surfaces of a substantially planar substrate comprising a metal etchable in a given etchant; a first electrodeposition step of selectively electrodepositing a first layer comprising a first conductor pattern including bridging elements on said first major surface of said substrate through said first mask, said first layer comprising a metal substantially impervious to said etchant; a second electrodeposition step, carried out simultaneously with said first electrodeposition step, of selectively electrodepositing a second layer comprising a second conductor pattern, including conductor elements below and oriented transverse to said bridging elements, on said second major surface of said substrate through said second mask, said second layer comprising a metal substantially impervious to said etchant; said bridging elements having enlarged ends and a constricted portion between said enlarged ends; removing said first and second masks from said substrate; pre-etching said second major surface of said substrate by immersing the same in said etchant, to etch said second major surface to a depth in the range of 0.01 to 0.5 times the width of said conductor elements comprising said second layer; thereafter immersing said substrate and the first and second layers thereon in said etchant for a sufficient time so that said etchant removes the exposed portions of said substrate below said constricted portions of said bridging elements throughout the entire thickness of the substrate thereat; and securing an adhesive layer comprising an insulating material to said second layer so that said second layer becomes imbedded in one major surface of said adhesive layer, and securing the other major surface of said adhesive layer to one major surface of a base having two major surfaces.
Claim 2

A process for manufacturing a printed circuit board having at least two conductor layers, comprising the steps of: disposing first and second masks on first and second opposed major surfaces of a substantially planar substrate comprising a metal etchable in a given etchant; a first electrodeposition step of selectively electrodepositing a first layer comprising a first conductor pattern including bridging elements on said first major surface of said substrate through said first mask, said first layer comprising a metal substantially impervious to said etchant; a second electrodeposition step, carried out simultaneously with said first electrodeposition step, of selectively electrodepositing a second layer comprising a second conductor pattern, including conductor elements below and oriented transverse to said bridging elements, on said second major surface of said substrate through said second mask, said second layer comprising a metal substantially impervious to said etchant; said bridging elements having enlarged ends and a constricted portion between said enlarged ends; removing said first and second masks from said substrate; pre-etching said second major surface of said substrate by immersing the same in said etchant, to etch said second major surface to a depth in the range of 0.01 to 0.5 times the width of said conductor elements comprising said second layer; thereafter immersing said substrate and the first and second layers thereon in said etchant for a sufficient time so that said etchant removes the exposed portions of said substrate below said constricted portions of said bridging elements throughout the entire thickness of the substrate thereat; and securing an adhesive layer comprising an insulating material to said second layer so that said second layer becomes imbedded in one major surface of said adhesive layer, and securing the other major surface of said adhesive layer to one major surface of a base having two major surfaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The process according to claim 1, comprising the additional step of, just prior to said securing step, annealing the remaining portions of said substrate and said first and second layers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said base is provided with through holes for accomodating thermal elements.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein a metal layer is secured to the other major surface of said base.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
75 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said base comprises a second metal substrate on both sides of which additional conductor layers are disposed, at least one of said additional conductor layers having at least one constricted portion, said base also being immersed in said etchant during said immersing step, for a sufficient time so that the exposed portions of said second substrate under each said constricted portion are removed throughout the entire thickness thereof.
