Abstract
A method 10 for making multi-layer electronic circuit boards 148, 248 having aperture 146, 246 which may be selectively connected to an electrical ground potential.
Claims12
A method for making a circuit board comprising the steps of:
- providing a core member having a first surface and a second surface;
- attaching a certain first material upon said first surface and upon said second surface, effective to form a first pre-circuit assembly;
- forming a first aperture within said first pre-circuit assembly;
- providing a first metal member having a first and a second surface and a second metal member having a first and a second surface;
- attaching a certain second material to said second surface of said first metal member and to said first surface of said second metal member;
- applying a certain liner material to said certain second material;
- engaging said first and second metal members;
- forming a second aperture through said engaged first and second metal members, through said certain second material, and through said certain liner material;
- separating said engaged first and second metal members;
- removing said certain liner material from said certain second material;
- selectively attaching said certain second material resident upon said first metal member to said certain first material resident upon said first pre-circuit assembly while causing said second aperture which is formed within said first metal member to communicate with said first aperture;
- selectively attaching said certain second material resident upon said second metal member to said certain material resident upon said first pre-circuit assembly while causing said second aperture which is formed within said first metal member to communicate with said first aperture;
- selectively removing said certain first and second metal members, effective to form a second pre-circuit assembly;
- providing third and fourth pre-circuit assemblies;
- attaching said third and fourth pre-circuit assemblies to said second pre-circuit assembly;
- and
- removing certain portions of said third and fourth pre-circuit assemblies, effective to form a third and fourth aperture which respectively communicate with said first and second apertures and which cooperate with said second pre-circuit assembly to form a circuit board having an aperture which extends through the formed circuit board.

A method for making a circuit board comprising the steps of:
- providing a first electrically conductive member having a first and a second surface;
- providing a second member having a first and a second surface;
- placing a dielectric material upon said first and second surface of said first electrically conductive member;
- forming a first aperture within said first electrically conductive member;
- placing an adhesive material upon said first surface of said second member;
- placing a liner material upon said adhesive material;
- providing a third member upon which a layer of said adhesive material is disposed;
- placing a layer of said liner material upon said adhesive material disposed upon said third member;
- attaching said layer of said liner material which is disposed upon said second member to said layer of said liner material which is disposed upon said third member;
- forming an aperture within said second and third members and within said adhesive material respectively disposed upon said second and third members;
- separating said attached layers of liner materials;
- removing said layers of said liner material;
- coupling said adhesive material which is resident upon said first surface of said second member to said dielectric material which is resident upon said first surface of said first electrically conductive member and coupling said adhesive material which is resident upon said second surface of said second member to said dielectric material which is resident upon said second surface of said first electrically conductive member while allowing said first aperture to communicate with said aperture formed within each of said second and third members and within said adhesive material respectively disposed upon said second and third members;
- removing said second and third members;
- providing a first pre-circuit assembly having a fourth member upon which a fifth member is disposed;
- providing a second pre-circuit assembly having a sixth member upon which a seventh member is disposed;
- coupling said fifth member to a first portion of said adhesive material;
- coupling said seventh member to a second portion of said adhesive material;
- and
- removing portions of said fourth and sixth members, thereby forming a circuit board assembly and extending said first aperture through said formed circuit board assembly.
