You also have the option of the following metals deposited using sputtered
and/or electroplating:
Molybdenum
Pre-Deposited Patterned Solder
AuSn pre-deposited solder eliminates the need for
pre-forms and improves assembly efficiency and reliability.
Additionally, this option can be configured for feature
sizes as small as .002" square. Pre-deposited AuSn
thickness range is from 3 to 10 µm.
Plated Through-Holes and Filled Vias
Solid filled vias are available in gold, silver, and tungsten. Plated
through-holes have diameters as low as 50% of the
substrate thickness. Edge wrap-around techniques,
including patterned edge wraps, can connect isolated
front-to-back conductors.

plated through-holes and filled vias
Photolithography and Etching of Patterns
UltraSource incorporates the use of both Mylar and glass
photo masks for use in our photolithography processes.
We can routinely achieve accurate patterning of feature
sizes down to .001" (25.4 µm). On a custom basis, .0004"
(10 µm) can be achieved. Standard patterning tolerances
are ± .0002" (5 µm) with special tolerances from ± .0001"
(2.5 µm) down to ± .00005" (1.25 µm).
Singulation
Singulation of thin film circuits from the substrates is
achieved using the latest in high speed dicing saws and
diamond based blades. This technology offers the most
efficient means of singulating a broad range of
substrate materials and metals. The standard tolerance
is ± .001" (25.4 µm) and special tolerances of down to
± .0005" (12.7 µm) are available.
Multilayer Circuits
By combining our extensive knowledge of various
substrates with our advanced UltraBridgeTM, UltraInductorTM,
and UltraCapacitorTM technologies, we can offer you
multilayer solutions to circuit challenges that you
might never have thought possible.
