  • Patent number: 8247705
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a circuit substrate includes the following steps. A dielectric layer is formed on at least one surface of a substrate. An insulating layer is formed on the dielectric layer. A portion of the insulating layer and a portion of the dielectric layer are removed, so as to form at least one blind via in the dielectric layer and the insulating layer. An electroless plating layer is formed on the sidewall of the blind via and a remaining portion of the insulating layer, wherein the binding strength between the insulating layer and the electroless plating layer is greater than that between the dielectric layer and the electroless plating layer.

  • Publication number: 20120015304
    Abstract: Method for fabricating an interposer is provided. A substrate is provided having thereon at least a conductive via and at least a flange. The flange is bonded on the substrate and shades a portion of the via. A photoresist layer is formed on the interior surface of the via, on a contact surface of the flange and on an inner surface of the flange opposite to the contact surface. An opening is formed in the photoresist layer to expose a portion of the contact surface of the flange, while the photoresist layer still covers the interior surface of the via and the inner surface of the flange. A plating layer is formed on the exposed contact surface of the flange. The photoresist layer is then removed.
