Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and systems for deposition of metal conductors using asymmetrical electrolytic plating, in which one surface (e.g., top) of a substrate is coated with an electrical conductor, and an opposite (e.g., bottom, or other) surface of which is not coated. A channel is formed between the two sides of the substrate, passing through the substrate and, in some embodiments, passing through the conductor. Electrolytic plating is performed such that metal is deposited from the edge of the conduct proximal to the channel, along the side walls of the channel, and up to, and in some embodiments on to, the other side of the substrate. Use of etching or plate resist layers are also contemplated.
