Abstract:
1. An apparatus for making a plurality of circuitized substrates, said apparatus comprising: a first feed device for feeding a first conductive layer having first and second opposing surfaces; second and third feed devices for feeding first and second dielectric layers; a bonding device for bonding said first and second dielectric layers to said first and second opposing surfaces of said first conductive layer, respectively, to form a continuous, bonded structure; a hole-forming device for forming holes within said continuous, bonded structure in a plurality of patterns such that said holes extend entirely through the thickness of said structure; a metal depositing device for depositing electrically conductive material within said holes; and a segmenting device for segmenting said continuous bonded structure to define a plurality of circuitized substrates each having a respective one of said patterns of holes therein, all of said devices adapted for performing the above respective processes while said first conductive layer is in the form of a continuous, solid member.
