Definitions
- PCB printed circuit board
- Electroless deposition is routinely employed in the electronic industry to form a seed layer in substrates for subsequent electroless plating of copper or other metals.
- the resulting metal plating may be used to form metallic interconnects on buildup films/composite polymeric materials of the substrates.
- Buildup films in semiconductor packaging typically include epoxy resins, surface finish films, molding compounds, photo imageable dielectrics, and other types of organic films.
- Electroless deposition typically uses a Desmear process to roughen a dielectric onto which copper plating is to be applied. Once applied, ions may be applied to the roughened surface and may sit in the pores created by the roughening for later reducing to be used as a seed layer.
