Appeal No. 2000-0314 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 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
