Abstract

A method of forming a subassembly for use in a printed circuit board is described. This method includes providing a subassembly including a circuit board layer laminated to two sheets of conductive material with two intermediate sheets of prepreg material, forming a via in the assembly, plating the via, filling the via with a plug material in a volatile solvent, evaporating the volatile solvent, and curing the plug material. Also described is a method of forming a partially filled via in a circuit board layer and a method of forming a thermally conductive plug in a circuit board layer for the transfer of thermal energy from one surface of the circuit board to the other.
