Patent ID: 11895778

Abstract:
An etching method for manufacturing a substrate structure having a thick electrically conductive layer, and a substrate structure having a thick electrically conductive layer are provided. The etching method includes providing an electrically insulating substrate structure including a thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer, an electrically conductive layer, and a non-photosensitive polymer masking layer, removing one part of the non-photosensitive polymer masking layer and one part of the electrically conductive layer by a machining process to form at least one electrically conductive recess having the electrically conductive layer exposed, forming a predetermined thickness ratio between a thickness of the electrically conductive recess and a thickness of the electrically conductive layer, removing a reserved part of the electrically conductive layer between a bottom wall of the electrically conductive recess and a bottom surface of the electrically conductive layer, and removing a remaining part of the non-photosensitive polymer masking layer.
