Abstract:
A method to produce a substrate suitable for diffusion bonding is described. A flexible dielectric substrate is provided. An alkaline modification is applied to the dielectric substrate to form a polyamic acid (PAA) anchoring layer on a surface of the dielectric substrate. A Ni—P seed layer is electrolessly plated on the PAA layer. Copper traces are plated within a photoresist pattern on the Ni—P seed layer. A surface finishing layer is electrolytically plated on the copper traces. The photoresist pattern and Ni—P seed layer not covered by the copper traces are removed to complete the substrate suitable for diffusion bonding.

Claim (Index 21):
The method according to  claim 18  further comprising depositing catalyst layers comprising Palladium (Pd) or Nickel (Ni) on said top and bottom PAA layers by immersion into an ionic metal solution to activate said first and second PAA layers for subsequent electroless Ni\u2014P seed layer plating.
