Abstract
Abstract A high temperature circuit board made by flame spraying a high temperature resistant metal film, such as aluminum, zinc or silver solder braze alloy, onto a high temperature resistant insulative substrate in which in one embodiment a reverse circuit image resist is layed on the board surface and the metal is flame sprayed onto the board surface and the reverse image resist screen is then removed leaving the circuit without etching. In the other embodiment aluminum is flame sprayed onto the substrate and then a silver solder braze alloy or copper or nickel is flame sprayed onto the aluminum film, and then resist and etching stops are applied to remove unwanted metal to the substrate and the resist is stripped providing the high temperature printed circuit board.
