The DYCOstrate® Technology
Since 1991, DYCONEX has successfully implemented its DYCOstrate® technology in high-reliability flex, rigid-flex, or rigid microvia/HDI PCBs and MCM-Ls. Over this time DYCOstrate® has become DYCONEX main technology and since 2001 accounts for more than 90% of its total annual sales.

In all these years DYCONEX has evolved the DYCOstrate® technology and its three main elements:

- the utilization of thin flexible materials
today mainly polyimide, but also other materials, like LCP, are coming along
- the ability to image ultra-fine structures
traces below 25 micron have already been realized for advanced applications
- a high-reliable microvia forming process
today either realized by pure plasma etching or by combined laser/plasma processing

These elements make DYCOstrate® a highly versatile technology, which enables a variety of build-up solutions for the challenging requirements of advanced electronics applications.

Over the last years many DYCOstrate® build-up concepts have been adopted by the PCB industry and are offered today also by other microvia manufacturers. In the development process of the various microvia technologies, sequential build-up HDIs have been increasingly improved and replaced by DYCOstrate® build-ups, particularly for high-end rigid multilayer PCBs.
