Abstract: A permanent resist, such as TMMF, is used when patterning conductive material on a substrate, enabling lines that have a higher line-to-space ratio (L/S) or a higher aspect ratio (T/L) or both. Pattern density can thus be increased, allowing for improved performance (e.g., greater efficiency, in the case of transformer coil patterning) and greater heat dissipation. As examples, the permanent-resist-based patterning fabrication methods can be used to create transformer coils within an integrated circuit (IC) module, or a routable lead frame for one or more IC dies.
