Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9741713A1] A new method of forming circuit lines on a substrate by applying conductive metal(s) using copper foil as a carrier. The copper foil is etched away, leaving the conductive metals embedded in the surface of the substrate. A photoresist is used to expose trenches which define the desired circuit and copper is applied onto the exposed conductive metals. The method is particularly suited to manufacturing the outer layers of multi-layer circuit boards.
