METALLISATION OF 3D MOULDED INTERCONNECT DEVICES (MIDS) CREATES THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONNECTIONS WITH MULTIPLE CONTACTS
SelectConnect Technologies : 09 February 2010
The two-shot moulding process produces MIDs from a combination of plateable and non-plateable injection moulded resins. A non-plateable polymer is moulded in the first shot and is then selectively moulded with a second plateable material, leaving specified areas exposed. An etching step then activates the exposed areas of plateable polymer so that those areas can be plated with metal. |
