The market for 3D-MIDs (three-dimensional Mould-Interco nnect-Devices) within the circuit board industry grows rapidly and has high future potentials. Miniaturization of electrical componentry, design flexibility, a more rational production and the reduction of production steps are the main driving forces behind this development. On this background a new technology, the so-called LPKF-LDS (Laser Direct Structuring) process, has been developed for the manufacturing of 3D-MIDs. The surface of a modified thermoplastic is partially activated by a focussed laser beam. In a following electroless plating process copper, nickel and gold are deposited on the activated areas completing the circuit tracks. In addition to being highly flexible, ultra fine line circuits and very small assemblies are possible using this 3D-MID production technology. This paper describes the process and system technology as well as results achieved.
