Abstract
The invention relates to the manufacture of metal foil electrodes useful in the manufacture of printed circuit boards having passive circuit components such as capacitors, resistors or inductors configured in a planar orientation. A copper foil is coated on each opposite side with a thin layer of nickel, which increases the range of functionality of the foil.
