Abstract: A printed circuit board precursor includes a substrate, a catalytic layer, a conductive layer, and a metal layer. The substrate has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a wall defining a channel, and the channel completely penetrates through the substrate from the top surface to the bottom surface. The catalytic layer is formed on the top surface, the bottom surface, and the wall of the substrate. The conductive layer is attached to and covers the catalytic layer. The metal layer is disposed on the conductive layers and filled in the channel.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board precursor includes the steps of providing a substrate. Then the surface of the substrate is catalyzed to form a catalytic layer by a catalyst. Subsequently, a conductive layer is formed and attached to the surface of the catalytic layer. Finally, a metal layer is electroplated on the conductive layer. A printed circuit board precursor includes a substrate having a surface. Specifically, the surface is catalytically treated to form a catalytic layer. The precursor also includes a conductive layer which is attached to and covers the catalytic layer and a metal layer which is disposed on the conductive layer.

Abstract: A flexible circuit board comprises a substrate which has a polyimide layer recessed to define at least a compartment. The compartment includes an inner wall surface having a side wall and a bottom wall. The compartment is for containing a multilayer unit, wherein the multilayer unit includes an adhesion enhancing layer formed on the wall of the compartment, a first electrically conducting layer disposed on the adhesion enhancing layer, and a second electrically conducting layer formed on the first electrically conducting layer. The adhesion enhancing layer is palladium. The first electrically conducting layer is nickel. The substrate is composed of polyimide (PI).
