  • Patent number: 5108553
    Abstract: A thin, preferably flexible circuit having multiple conductive planes separated by a non-conductive layer is provided. Conductive vias electrically interconnect the conductive planes. The conductive vias comprise carbon coated blind vias which are made conductive by the electrolytic deposition of a metal on the carbon. The invention is particularly suited for G-TAB wherein a first metal plane is patterned into signal plane circuit traces and a second metal plane is patterned into ground plane traces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 25, 1989
    Date of Patent: April 28, 1992
    Assignee: Olin Corporation
    Inventors: Craig A. Foster, Randolfo Galvez, Kurt R. Raab
