Abstract
Abstract A method for the manufacture of an electronic circuit is provided. A substrate is provided with an indexing means and personality windows by etching. An adhesive is deposited on one surface of the substrate to coat at least those regions to be laminated to a metallic foil. The foil is bonded to the nonconductive substrate and patterned into a plurality of circuit traces. These steps may be repeated a plurality of time for a multi-metal layer structure.
