Abstract
A printed circuit board and a method for making same is disclosed whereby a very high wiring density is provided in those regions of the printed circuit board in which external components (e.g., semiconductor chips) are to be attached directly. An automated registration routine permits very precise registration and positioning in those regions.
Claims6
A printed circuit board comprising:
- a dielectric material having at least one inner electrically conductive layer;
- electrically conducting lines located on an external surface of said dielectric material in a first region of a first width and having a first wiring density;
- a layer of a second dielectric material substantially covering a localized sub-region of said first region of said electrically conducting lines and including a plurality of holes therein, selected ones of said holes being located relative to respective ones of said conducting lines in said sub-region, said localized sub-region having a second width less than said first width of said first region, said layer of second dielectric material not including an internal layer of conductive wiring therein;
- and
- a plurality of electrical conductors located only on said layer of second dielectric material and electrically coupled to said respective ones of said conducting lines in said localized sub-region through said holes, said electrical conductors being of a second wiring density substantially greater than said first wiring density of said electrically conducting lines.
