Composite laminate circuit structure and method of forming the same
First Claim
1. A method of forming a composite laminate structure comprising the steps of:
- providing first and second circuit board elements, each having city on at least one face thereof and plated through holes, providing a voltage plane element having at least one voltage plane having opposite faces with a layer of partially cured photopatternable dielectric material on each face thereof, photopatterning and etching at least one hole through said voltage plane element and at least one through each layer of photopatternable dielectric material terminating at said voltage plane, thereafter aligning each through hole and each opening in said voltage plane element with a plated through hole in at least one of said circuit board elements to provide surface on said voltage plane element communicating with said plated through holes and with said at least one face of each of said circuit board elements being oriented away from said voltage plane element, thereafter laminating said voltage plane element between said circuit board elements and fully curing said photopatternable dielectric material of said voltage plane element, and thereafter plating the surfaces on said voltage plane element communicating with said plated trough holes in said circuit board elements and said plated through holes in said circuit hoard elements.

Abstract
A method forming a composite laminate structure includes providing first and second circuit board element each having circuitry on at least one face thereof and plated through holes. A voltage plane element is provided having at least one voltage plane having opposite faces with layers of partially cured photodielectric material on each face. At least one hole is photopatterned and etched through the voltage plane element but completely isolated from the voltage plane. Each through hole in the voltage plane element is aligned with a plated through hole in each of the circuit board elements to provide a surface on the voltage plane element communicating with the plated through holes. The voltage plane is laminated between the circuit board elements and the photoimageable material on the voltage plane is fully cured. The surfaces of the voltage plane element communicating with the plated through holes in the circuit board elements are plated with a conducting material to establish a connection between the circuitry on the first and second circuit board elements.
