The HD-DV Multi (High Density-Dimple Via Multi) Printed Wiring Board (
PWB) has been developed, by combining build-up process and additive pr
ocess for the high density interconnection such as Multichip Module (M
CM) packages. The key technologies in this PWB include the dryfilm typ
e photo-imageable dielectric material which is developed with an alkal
ine solution and the ultra fine patterning technology which is perform
ed by the additive process using photo-imageable permanent mask and hi
gh-speed electroless copper plating. By using these technologies, very
high-performance PWBs have been produced such as the conductor line w
idth/space of 35 mu m/35 mu m and the via diameter of 0.1 mm. This boa
rd has high peel strength and high reliability in the thermal shock te
st and the high humidity test. This board can also accommodate solder
bumps easily on narrow pitch pads for its solder dam structures and is
applicable to bare chip packaging.
