A process for connecting at least two electrically conductive patterns through a dielectric material by a landless electrical connection is provided. The process includes providing a composite containing a dielectric substrate having a conductive plane on at least one of its major surfaces and a temporary support layer covering the conductive plane. Blind vias are provided in the dielectric substrate and are plated with an electrically conductive material. The temporary support layer is removed thereby providing a landless electrical connection through the dielectric material and the conductive plane is available for providing external electrical conductive pattern.

Process for providing a landless via connection

A method for forming electrical interconnections in vias is provided by laser drilling vias in a composite that contains at least two circuitized organic polymeric substrates superimposed upon each other. The laser drilling causes metallic circuit lines contained within each substrate to melt and form a fused mass protruding a short distance out of the side of the drilled vias. Next, the drilled vias are plated with a conductive metal to thereby provide the interconnections.

Method for forming electrical interconnections in laminated vias

A structure and method are disclosed for making high density circuit board. Using photosensitive or other dielectric materials over a circuitized power core, vias and lands are opened up, filled with joining metal and aligned with the next level, eliminating a major registration problem in building up a high density composite and reducing the number of steps in the manufacturing process.

Encapsulated circuitized power core alignment and lamination

Two cores for circuit boards or cards are simultaneously processed. In particular, two cores are provided wherein each is a dielectric material having conductive planes on both major surfaces thereof. The two cores are temporarily fixed together by sealing the peripheral face planes thereof. The two external conductive planes are then simultaneously processed to thereby form signal patterns. The seal is then removed from the peripheral face planes and the two cores are separated from each other, thereby simultaneously providing the two cores.
