Process for assembly and bonding of electronic components on an insulating support

A process for printed circuit board production, assembly and bonding of uncased electronic components by currentless metal deposition comprising:

• providing a support with holes which correspond to spatial arrangements of bonds of the uncased electronic components;
• applying a catalyst for currentless metal deposition at locations provided on the support for formation of strip conductors and formation on walls of the holes;
• positioning the uncased electronic components with their bonds in registration with the holes;
• and
• forming by currentless metal deposition the strip conductors on the catalyst applied to the support simultaneously with formation of an electrically conducting metal layer on the walls of the holes and the bonds of the uncased electronic components wherein the bonds have a dimension along the electrically conducting metal layer in the holes of no more than 100 microns.

A process for assembly and bonding of uncased electrical components provided with metal connections on an area of an insulating support to be provided with strip conductors comprising:

• applying a catalyst to two sides of the insulating support for a currentless metal deposition on the insulating support in the area of the insulating support where the strip conductors are provided;
• providing holes through the insulating support with walls of the holes through the insulating support being coated with the catalyst;
• positioning the uncased electrical components with their metal connections in registration with the holes on the two sides of the insulation support;
• bonding by currentless metal deposition from a chemical metallization bath the metal connections in registration with the walls of the holes and the walls of the holes simultaneously with the forming of metallic strip conductors;
• wherein the bonding of the metal connections has a dimension along the connections of no more than 100 microns.
