Abstract
Abstract Multilayer printed circuit boards and multichip-module substrates having at least one layered composite of high-temperature-stable plastic and conductive tracks wherein the plastic is provided with a thin layer of amorphous, hydrogenated carbon (a--C:H) having a water permeation coefficient of <1.1×10 -13 m 2 /s. The a--C:H-layer also has a hardness gradient across it.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A moisture-resistant layered composite for use as a multilayer printed circuit board or a multichip-module substrate, the layered composite comprising: a layered composite of high-temperature-stable plastic and conductive tracks; and a layer of amorphous, hydrogenated carbon (a--C:H) having a thickness of 0.1 to 5 μm and having a water permeation coefficient of <1.1×10 -13 m 2 /s and a hardness gradient, the a--C:H layer being situated on the plastic of the plastic/conductor composite.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
