Abstract:
PRINTED CIRCUITS, INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, RESISTORS, THERMOCOUPLES, CONDENSERS, SUPERCONDUCTORS, ELECTROFORMED MATERIALS, AND THE LIKE ARE PRODUCED BY PROVIDING A PLASTIC OR SUBSTANTIALLY NON-METALLIC SUBSTRATE WITH A METAL PHOSPHIDE; APPLYING A RESIST; REMOVING THE UNPROTECTED METAL PHOSPHIDE; DISSOLVING THE RESIST; AND SUBJECTING THE SUBSTRATE TO ELECTROLESS OR ELECTROLYTIC TREATMENT.
Abstract:
A flexible film (100) and a display device including the same are disclosed. The flexible film includes an insulating film (110) including at least one hole (120). The insulating film further includes a first surface (111a) corresponding to an inner circumferential surface of the hole, a second surface (111b) corresponding to an upper surface of the insulating film, and a third surface (111c) corresponding to a lower surface of the insulating film. The flexible film includes a first metal layer (131) and a second metal layer (132) that is positioned on the first surface and at least one of the second and third surfaces. A thickness (T1) of the first metal layer is smaller than a thickness (T2) of the second metal layer.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an improved method for metallizing polymer substrates, such as polyimides. The present invention comprises the steps of surface treating the polymer substrate with a plasma jet or corona discharge surface treatment, conditioning and etching the polymer substrate with an etching solution comprising a hydroxide and ionic palladium, activating the polymer substrate with ionic palladium, reducing the palladium on the polymer substrate, plating an electroless nickel layer onto the prepared polymer substrate, and plating an electroless copper layer over the electroless nickel layer. The process of the invention provides an improved method for preparing the polymer substrate for subsequent electrolytic plating thereon.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a flexible film is disclosed. The method includes (a) forming at least one hole on an insulating film, (b) after the step (a), forming a first metal layer on a first surface corresponding to an inner circumferential surface of the hole, and at least one of a second surface corresponding to an upper surface of the insulating film and a third surface corresponding to a lower surface of the insulating film, and (c) forming a second metal layer on the first metal layer. A thickness of the first metal layer is smaller than a thickness of the second metal layer.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a multilayer printed circuit board comprises a step for providing openings in an interlayer insulating layer (4002), and a step for filling up the openings with a plating metal to construct via holes (4007) and, at the same time, build up an upper-layer conductor layer (4005). The electroplating is performed using an aqueous solution containing a metal ion and 0.1 to 1.5 mmol/L of at least one additive selected from the group consisting of thioureas, cyanides and polyalkylene oxides as a plating solution.
