Appeal No. 2001-1305 Application 08/872,782 Upon our view of Bindra, we find that Bindra teaches in the background of the invention that the prior art high density circuit boards use a dielectric constant (Er) of about 3.2 or less, in order to reduce signal propagation delays and reduce signal noise and attenuation. See column 1, lines 37 through 50. Bindra further discloses that the prior art suitable materials which can be used to provide an Er of 3.2 or below. These suitable materials are fluorocarbons such as, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE), and polyperfluoropropylene, optionally filled with a filler, such as certain kinds of quartz or silicon particles. See column 2, lines 13 through 18. Bindra is concerned with the method or structure, wherein a dielectric material encapsulizes each high density wire core, and wherein encapsulated high density cores are aligned, using the joining material for alignment, to test on the subcomposite level and build for a high density printed circuit board or card. See column 3, lines 34 through 42. Bindra discloses that figure 1 shows the best mode for carrying out the invention. In particular, figure 1A shows an encapsulated circuitized power core ready for joining to a like core. A dielectric material 1 is disposed on top the CPC, except 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
