Abstract

Methods of fabricating multilayer circuits are presented. In accordance with the present invention, a plurality of circuit layers comprised of a dielectric substrate having a circuit formed thereon are stacked, one on top of the other. The dielectric substrate is composed of a polymeric material capable of undergoing fusion bonding such as a fluoropolymeric based substrate. Fusible conductive bonding material (e.g. solder) is applied on selected exposed circuit traces (prior to the stacking step) whereupon the entire stack-up is subjected to lamination under heat and pressure to simultaneously fuse all of the substrate and conductive layers together to form an integral multilayer circuit having solid conductive interconnects.
