Abstract
A process to create metallic stand-offs or studs on a printed circuit board (PCB). The process allows to obtain studs constituted by three successive layers of metal (Cu1, Cu2 and Cu3 or Ni) of which at least the two first layers are made of copper. The height of the so-created stand-off is sufficient to use it in the flip chip technology to assemble chips to a printed circuit board. The present process is implemented according either to the electro-plating (galvano-plating) or to the electrochemical-plating technique.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
