Abstract: A method by which a conventional circuit trace (14) is modified with a layer (16) of high-conductivity solder alloy to yield a high-current circuit trace (12) for high-current routing on a substrate (10). The method generally entails the use of a solder composition that contains a dispersion of metal particles (18) in a solder alloy (20). The metal particles (18) are selected on the basis of having a higher electrical conductivity than the solder alloy (20), and are present in sufficient amounts so that the electrical conductivity of the solder composition is significantly higher than that of the solder alloy (20). The solder composition is deposited on a conductor (14), and then reflowed to form a conductive layer (16) on the conductor (14). The metal particles (18) remain as a discrete dispersion within the conductive layer (16) in order to suitably promote the conductivity of the layer (16).
