Apparatus with a Wire Bond and Method of Forming the Same
First Claim
1. A printed circuit board, comprising:
- a substrate comprising an insulating material;
a plurality of conductive tracks attached to at least one surface of the substrate;
a coating deposited on the at least one surface of the substrate, wherein;
the coating covers at least a portion of the plurality of conductive tracks; and

Abstract
In some embodiments, a printed circuit board (PCB) comprises a substrate comprising an insulating material. The PCB further comprises a plurality of conductive tracks attached to at least one surface of the substrate. The PCB further comprises a multi-layer coating deposited on the at least one surface of the substrate. The multi-layer coating (i) covers at least a portion of the plurality of conductive tracks and (ii) comprises at least one layer formed of a halo-hydrocarbon polymer. The PCB further comprises at least one electrical component connected by a solder joint to at least one conductive track, wherein the solder joint is soldered through the multi-layer coating such that the solder joint abuts the multi-layer coating.
