Abstract:
A method of forming a passive electrical component in an organic circuit board, the method comprising the steps of:providing a thick-film material chosen from the group consisting of electrically-resistive and dielectric compositions; applying the thick-film material to an electrically-conductive foil; heating the thick-film material to a temperature above what the organic circuit board can tolerate so as to bond the thick-film material to the foil and form a solid mass having an electrical property chosen from the group consisting of electrical resistance and dielectric; laminating the foil with the solid mass bonded thereto to the organic circuit board so as to attach the solid mass to the organic circuit board; and then etching the foil to form at least one of two terminals that contact the solid mass to yield a passive electrical component.
