The present invention relates to new methods for delivering solutions during electronic device manufacture. Methods of the invention include delivering metallization solutions to the device at an angle of less than 90 degrees with the surface of the device. The method may further comprise partially treating the device by delivering the metallization solutions from above the device, turning the device over, and then completing treatment by delivering the metallization solutions from below the article. The method is particularly useful in the formation of printed circuit boards and other electronic packaging devices having through-holes and blind vias.

Fluid delivery systems for electronic device manufacture

A method of providing an electrically conductive polymer coating on a copper clad circuit board prior to electroplating is disclosed. The method teaches the application of certain organic solvents to a conductive polymer composition already applied to the board but before drying the conductive polymer composition to remove liquids therefrom to form a conductive polymer film.

Method of manufacture of multilayer circuit boards

A microetch composition for a circuit board containing sulfuric acid in combination with a carboxylic acid having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, wherein the volume of the carboxylic acid is preferably greater than the amount of sulfuric acid. The method discloses the contacting of a electrically conductive polymer with the microetch composition disclosed above to expose copper underlying the electrically conductive polymer.
