Abstract
The invention is a process for building-up printed wiring boards using metal foil coated with toughened benzocyclobutene-based dielectric polymers. The invention is also a toughened dielectric polymer comprising benzocyclobutene-based monomers or oligomers, ethylenically unsaturated polymer additive, and, optionally, a photoactive compound.
Claims7
A curable composition comprising:
- a) at least one precursor compound selected from arylcyclobutene monomers, arylcyclobutene oligomers, and combinations thereof;
- and
- b) a polymer or oligomer having a backbone comprising ethylenic unsaturation and terminal acrylate or methacrylate groups.
A photoimageable composition comprising (a) at least one precursor compound selected from arylcyclobutene monomers, arylcyclobutene oligomers, and combinations thereof;
- (b) a polymer or oligomer having a backbone comprising ethylenic unsaturation;
- and (c) a photoactive compound selected from the group consisting of azides, bismaleimides, acrylates, acetylenes, isocyanates, aromatic ketones such as 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl acetophenone, conjugated aromatic ketones, and benzophenone-containing polymers.
