Abstract
A multilayer circuit board includes a base layer, a conductive layer and a soldermask. The soldermask layer has two sets of openings. One of the openings are vent openings, that expose the base layer to provide ventilation so that gases may escape during processing. The second openings expose selective regions of a conductor layer. The multi-layer circuit board provides for less occurrences of delamination.
Claims24
An electrical device, comprising:
- an integrated circuit supported by a base layer and having a plurality of integrated circuit devices, wherein at least one of the plurality of integrated circuit devices has a semiconductor structure formed by a method comprising:
- forming an insulator layer on a base layer, wherein the insulator layer has a surface;
- patterning the insulator layer to define a hole, wherein the hole has sidewalls defined by the insulator layer and a bottom defined by an exposed portion of the base layer;
- forming at least one titanium-containing layer overlying the surface of the insulator layer and the sidewalls and the bottom of the hole by chemical vapor deposition;
- forming a plug layer overlying the titanium-containing layer and filling the hole;
- and
- removing a portion of the plug layer overlying the surface of the insulator layer subsequent to removing the portion of the plug layer by exposing the portion of the titanium-containing layer to a sulfuric acid solution.
