          Application No. 08/944,192                                                  


          photoimageable dielectric layer.  A metallization pattern                   
          separates each of the dielectric layers from the central core               
          substrate.  Vias are formed in the photoimaged dielectric                   
          layer by a photoimaging process, and vias are formed in the                 
          non-photoimageable dielectric layer by a laser drilling                     
          process.                                                                    
               Claims 1 and 15 are illustrative of the claimed                        
          invention, and they read as follows:                                        
                    1.  A multi-layer printed circuit board, comprising:              
                    a central core substrate having first and second                  
               major opposing surfaces containing first and second                    
               respective metallization patterns;                                     
                    a photoimaged dielectric layer deposited on the                   
               first surface and overlying the first metallization                    
               pattern, said photoimaged dielectric layer containing a                
               third metallization pattern and photoimaged vias that                  
               electrically connect the third metallization pattern to                
               the underlying first metallization pattern; and                        
                    a non-photoimageable dielectric layer deposited on                
               the second surface and overlying the second metallization              
               pattern, said non-photoimageable dielectric layer                      
               containing a fourth metallization pattern and laser-                   
               formed vias that electrically connect the fourth                       
               metallization pattern to the underlying second                         
               metallization pattern.                                                 
          15.  A multi-layer printed circuit board comprising:                        
                    a photoimaged dielectric layer on one side of a                   
               cental core substrate and a non-photoimaged dielectric                 
                                          2
