Abstract
A method of making a surface planarization is provided using a separate pre-cut or precured film laminated onto a metallized surface to form planarized dielectric coating. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a thin film interconnect module with a polyimide adhesive laminated with a pre-cut or pre-cured polyimide lamination film on the top of the polyimide adhesive, the polyimide lamination film being covered with a glass plate; (b) applying pressure and heat in a synchronized format to ensure a uniform curing and gap filling in the thin film module metal for the adhesive layer; and (c) releasing the glass plate to expose a smooth lamination film surface.
