Abstract
An insulated metal substrate printed wiring board includes a thermally conductive base plate. A first dielectric layer is disposed on the base plate. An electrically conductive trace is disposed on the top surface of the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is disposed on the top surface of the first electrically conductive trace. A second electrically conductive trace is disposed on the top surface of the second dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer and the second electrically conductive trace include an aperture to expose the electrically conductive trace disposed on the top surface of the first dielectric layer. High power dissipating components are mounted through the aperture in the second electrically conductive layer and second dielectric layer for electrical connection to the electrically conductive trace disposed on the top surface of the first dielectric layer. Similar construction can be extended to more than two layers of electrically conductive traces and the aperture is through all the layers except the first dielectric layer and the first electrically conductive layer.
