Abstract:
A process for producing a multilayer printed circuit board which comprises coating a light and heat curable undercoating agent on an internal layer circuit board, irradiating the undercoating agent with active energy beams to make the same tack-free, then laminating thereto a metal foil having an insulating adhesive layer and subsequently heating the resulting assembly to integrally cure the same. When the undercoating agent is coated on an internal layer circuit board and irradiated with a light to be made tack-free, and thereto is laminated a copper foil having a thermosetting insulating adhesive by a rigid roll or the like, the undercoating agent is softened or fluidized and the surface is smoothened. When the resulting laminate is thereafter heated, the undercoating agent coated on the internal layer circuit board and the insulating adhesive coated on the copper foil are integrally cured. Since the insulating adhesive coated on the metal foil keeps the thickness, a multilayer printed circuit board having an excellent board thickness precision can be produced without depending on the percentage of the remaining copper foil in the internal layer.

Abstract:
The invention relates to laminates comprising at least one layer of an intractable, fully aromatic polyimide which, on one side, is directly bonded to a layer of a substrate and, on the other side, to a layer of a heat-sealable polyimide. The basic elements thus produced may be bonded to one another on the heat-sealable polyimide sides or one basic element may be bonded to another layer of substrate. Further layers may be bonded to one or both outside(s) of the laminates. The laminates may be produced by a novel temperature-controlled process. The substrates are preferably foils of metals or alloys. The multilayer laminates obtained are distinguished by outstanding mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. They may be used as reinforcing materials or for printed electrical circuits.

A one-step plasma treatment for improving the laminate adhesion of metallic and non-metallic substrates is described. The treatment comprises forming a plasma of a polar containing organic species and at least one of nitrogen and hydrogen and exposing a substrate material to the plasma for a period of time sufficient to deposit a polymeric film on at least one surface. In a preferred embodiment, a plasma of an azole, nitrogen and/or hydrogen is utilized. The process has particular utility in forming adherent polymeric films on one or more surfaces of copper and copper alloy foils to be used in printed circuit applications.
