A novel method for the manufacturing of fine line circuitry on a transparent substrates is provided, the method comprises the following steps in the given order providing a transparent substrate, depositing a pattern of light-shielding activation layer on at least a portion of the front side of said substrate, placing a photosensitive composition on the front side of the substrate and on the pattern of light-shielding activation layer, photo-curing the photosensitive composition from the back side of the substrate with a source of electromagnetic radiation, removing any uncured remnants of the photosensitive composition; and thereby exposing recessed structures and deposition of at least one metal into the thus formed recessed structures whereby a transparent substrate with fine line circuitry thereon is formed. The method allows for very uniform and fine line circuitry with a line and space dimension of 0.5 to 10 &#x3bc;m.

Procedure and device for the chemical and electrolytic treatment of

Film-stripping process

An apparatus for removing polymer particles from the stripping solution used in the treatment of printed wireboards comprises passing a solution having resist particles dispersed therein over a screen having openings of 100 microns, where the screen is maintained at an angle of from 40 to 70.degree. to the horizontal. The apparatus comprises a curtain tube consisting of an inner concentric tube with a plurality of holes and an outer concentric tube with a slot wherein the position of the slot is adjustable, a filter comprising a screen, and a pump for circulating the solution. In one embodiment, the filter comprises a cylindrical screen. The stripping solution comprises an aqueous solution of an organoamine, ionic nitrogen compound or alkali or alkaline-earth hydroxide, or mixtures thereof.
