Patent ID: 6860000

Claim:
A method for embedding a thick film resistor component into a printed wiring board comprising the steps of: providing a metallic substrate; applying onto at least a portion of the metallic substrate a thick film composition for forming a thick film component; applying onto at least a portion of the metallic substrate a dielectric reinforcing composition to coat at least a portion of the thick film resistor composition disposed on at least a portion of the metallic substrate to form an assembly; processing the assembly by subjecting to heat or UV radiation to form a lamination assembly comprising a reinforcing layer formed from the dielectric reinforcing composition and a thick film resistor component formed from the thick film resistor composition; providing a substrate that is at least partially coated on one side with an adhesive layer for receiving the reinforcing layer and the thick film resistor component of the lamination assembly; applying the lamination onto the at least partially coated side of the substrate to embed the thick film resistor component and dielectric reinforcing layer into the adhesive layer.
