Abstract
Methods of manufacturing printed circuit boards having circuit layers laminated with stacked (or staggered) micro via(s). Aspects of embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board with Z-axis interconnect(s) or micro via(s) that can eliminate a need for plating micro vias and/or eliminate a need for planarizing plated bumps of a surface, that can be fabricated with one or two lamination cycles, and/or that can have carrier-to-carrier (or substrate-to-substrate) attachments with conductive vias, each filled with a conductive material (e.g., with a conductive paste) in the Z-axis. In one embodiment, a printed circuit board having a plurality of circuit layers with at least one z-axis interconnect can be fabricated using a single lamination cycle.
