Abstract

Polymer (preferably polyimide) sheets (10) with laser ablated through-holes plated with metal (20) are used for making electrical conections to specified microcircuits, especially unbumped microchips and Tape Automated Bonding (TAB) articles. Bonding with different melting point materials at opposite ends of the plated holes is disclosed. Preferred polyimides are those derived from polymerisation of 4,4'-biphenyldianhydride and (4,4'-diaminobiphenyl, or 4,4'-diaminobiphenylether, or phylenediamine, preferably p-phenylenediamine).
