Abstract

A high density multi-layer printed circuit board (100) is formed by building additional dielectric and metallization layers over a central core (110) of conventional PCB laminate construction. The central core has a metallization pattern (113, 114) on at least one surface. A photoimaged dielectric layer (130) is deposited on one side of the central core and overlies the metallization pattern. Vias (136) are formed in this dielectric layer by a photoimaging process, and an additional metallization pattern (133) on this layer is electrically connected to the underlying metallization pattern through these vias. A non-photoimageable dielectric layer (120) is deposited on the other side of the central core. Vias (126) are formed in this dielectric layer by a laser drilling process, and an additional metallization pattern (123) on this layer is electrically connected to an underlying metallization pattern through these laser drilled vias.
