  • Patent number: 11051410
    Abstract: A semifinished product with a sacrificial structure and two component carriers releasably formed on opposing main surfaces of the sacrificial structure. The component carriers include at least one electrically insulating layer structure, and at least one electrically conductive layer structure. The at least one electrically insulating layer structure relates to a respective one of the component carriers. Located closest to the sacrificial structure are pure or unprocessed electrically insulating layers without electrically conductive material therein.

  • Publication number: 20200006135
    Abstract: A plater arrangement for filling a hole formed in a component carrier with copper is disclosed. The plater arrangement includes an electroless plater section for forming a layer of an electrically conductive material, which layer covers at least part of a surface of a wall of a component carrier and where the wall delimits the hole in the component carrier and an electro-plater section for covering at least partially the layer and filling at least partially an unfilled volume of the hole with copper by an electro-plating process, wherein at least partially covering the layer and at least partially filling the hole is done by flash-plating. The electro-plater section having a bath for plating with copper.

  • Patent number: 10455704
    Abstract: A method of filling a hole formed in a component carrier with copper is disclosed. The method comprises i) forming a layer of an electrically conductive material covering at least part of a surface of a wall, wherein the wall delimits the hole, and subsequently ii) covering at least partially the layer and filling at least partially an unfilled volume of the hole with copper using a plating process including a bath. Hereby, the bath comprises a concentration of a copper ion, in particular Cu2+, in a range between 50 g/L and 75 g/L, in particular in a range between 60 g/L and 70 g/L.
