Abstract
A multi-layered substrate is manufactured utilizing a sheet material. The sheet material is a dielectric material with a dielectric adhesive coated on one side. A catalyst layer is at a boundary between the dielectric material and the adhesive. The catalyst layer is thin in comparison to the dielectric material and the dielectric adhesive. In the manufacture of the multi-layered substrate, the material is processed using patterning and metallizing steps. During this manufacture the processed sheet material may be supported with a releasable layer. Laminating additional sheet materials onto previously processed sheets produces multiple layers. These additional sheets are then processed. Multiple lamination steps may be performed in order to obtain an end product of a desired number of layers.
