Abstract

For rapid prototyping and repair of printed wiring boards, direct laser patterning techniques of Cu are investigated. Laser direct writing techniques reported in the literature are compared and contrasted. The approach taken in this work is laser-induced Ag seeding of the substrate followed by subsequent electroless Cu plating. The Ag seeds were deposited on FR4 and Al ₂O₃ substrates using 3^rd harmonic Nd:YVO ₄ and CO₂ laser beams. Laser-written Ag seeds were catalytic for electroless deposition of Cu. A minimum resistivity of 6 μΩ-cm was obtained.
