HIGH DENSITY TRACE FORMATION METHOD BY LASER ABLATION

摘要

A method for making a microelectronic substrate includes forming a pattern of a selected metallic layer of an in-process unit using laser ablation such that the pattern corresponds to desired locations for conductive features. Conductive material is than added to the in-process unit by a process that uses the pattern to concentrate application of the conductive material to the in-process unit such that the conductive material forms conductive features of the substrate according to the pattern. The step forming a pattern of a selected metallic layer of an in-process unit using laser ablation can includes the use of a UV laser, a CO2 or an excimer laser.
