Abstract
A re-work method for removing extraneous plated metal layer areas from the surface of a ceramic substrate containing refractory metal areas wherein the substrate is heated at a temperature for a time sufficient to strengthen the bond between the plated metal layer and the refractory metal areas while simultaneously reducing the strength of the bond between the extraneous plated metal layer overlying the ceramic and the ceramic, immersing the substrate in a liquid, and applying localized ultrasonic energy in close proximity to the extraneous metal areas to be removed.
