Publication number: 20030014863Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) and method of forming same is performed without incoming lines for plating. The plating is preferably performed on ball pad areas and/or bonding pad areas being the top layer of a multi-layer PCB. A metal layer that later forms circuit patterns serves to supply a power for plating ball pads for solder-ball bonding and bonding pads for wire-bonding with gold (Au). Thus, the gold (Au)-plating is performed prior to forming the circuit patterns. A positive-type first photoresist is coated on the metal layer to form the ball pads and the bonding pads. The coated first photoresist is also used to form circuit patterns. The gold (Au)-plated metal layer of ball pad areas and the bonding pad areas are protected by a second photoresist, which is reactive with a larger quantity of light than the first photoresist. Both first and second photoresists can be concurrently developed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2002Publication date: January 23, 2003Applicant: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Sung Gue Lee, Yong Il Kim, Yong Soon Jang
