Abstract
Abstract Printed circuit boards having a plurality of circuit layers are produced on a copper-clad substrate by first forming a pattern in a desired configuration to produce the first layer of the printed circuit board, then covering it with an energy-sensitive material comprising a rubber modified epoxy resin, an acrylated epoxy resin and a viscosity modifier; the energy-sensitive material is delineated in a desired pattern and developed to uncover portions of the underlying metallization pattern and the entire substrate is then blanket cured to produce a rigid layer having openings in appropriate places; the openings are metallized and a second copper pattern is produced on the cured polymer by conventional metallization and lithographic techniques. If desired, the process is repeated until a suitable number of copper patterned levels are obtained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A product comprising a first and second pattern of conductive material, an electrically insulating material interposed between said first and second pattern and an electrical connection between said first and second pattern through said insulating material by a conductive via wherein said conductive via and said insulating material is formed by subjecting an energy-sensitive material to electromagnetic radiation processing to form said via and to produce said insulating material wherein said energy-sensitive material comprises a mixture of an acrylated rubber modified epoxy polymer wherein the rubber is in the backbone of the epoxy polymer and is derived from reacting an epoxy resin with a carboxy terminated butadiene-acrylonitril based rubber, an acrylated epoxy having a glass transition temperature of at least 50° C. that is compatible with said acrylated rubber modified epoxy and a viscosity modifier.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A product comprising a first and second pattern of conductive material, an electrically insulating material interposed between said first and second pattern and an electrical connection between said first and second pattern through said insulating material by a conductive via wherein said conductive via and said insulating material is formed by subjecting an energy-sensitive material to electromagnetic radiation processing to form said via and to produce said insulating material wherein said energy-sensitive material comprises a mixture of an acrylated rubber modified epoxy polymer wherein the rubber is in the backbone of the epoxy polymer and is derived from reacting an epoxy resin with a carboxy terminated butadiene-acrylonitril based rubber, an acrylated epoxy having a glass transition temperature of at least 50° C. that is compatible with said acrylated rubber modified epoxy and a viscosity modifier.
