Copper plated PTH barrels and methods for fabricating

摘要

A circuitized semiconductor substrate comprising a layer of dielectric material having holes therethrough, a catalyst seed layer lining the walls of the holes along the surface of the dielectric material, and a nickel layer in the openings and a layer of copper above the nickel layer, along with a method for its fabrication. The invention also provides copper-nickel laminate PTH barrels and methods for their fabrication.
