Abstract

Disclosed is a method of producing vias and through holes through a metal laminate. The laminate is a multi-layer, for example, a trilayer of a relatively hard metal between two layers of a relatively soft metal. The method includes the steps of first etching a clearance hole through the soft metal on one side of the trilayer laminate, followed by partially etching the hard metal layer. Next, drilling the remaining thickness of the hard metal, and drilling through the second layer of soft metal.
