A copper-clad laminate (4) is provided in which holes or recesses can be appropriately formed by laser to create through holes and via holes for connections from an outer copper layer to inner copper layers. A copper-clad laminate (4) used includes outer copper foil whose surface has a laser reflectivity less than 86% and a luminosity (L value) less than 22 when it is covered with fine copper oxide or fine copper particles.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a multilayer printed circuit board is disclosed. First a composite foil (10) including a functional copper foil (16) mounted on a carrier foil (12) is laminated on a core board (20). The functional copper foil (16) is less than 10 mu m thick, and has a front side facing the carrier foil (12) and a back side coated with a resin (18). Next, the carrier foil (12) is removed from the functional copper foil (16), in order to uncover the front side of the functional copper foil (16). Then, a CO2 laser source is used to drill holes through the functional copper foil (16) and the resin (18) in order to form microvias (24). It is also disclosed a composite foil (10) comprising four different layers for use in the manufacture of a multilayer printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A method of forming a through-via (62) in a laminated substrate (60) by applying a polymeric photoabsorptive layer (68) on an exposed bottom surface of a laminated substrate. A through-via is laser drilled in the substrate through the substrate to a bottom of the substrate. The photoabsorptive layer (68) formed on the bottom surface of the substrate is then removed.
Abstract:
The proposed method of forming conductive patterns with solderable or bondable connection regions on insulating substrates involves the following steps: a) application of a metallic coating (M1, M2) to the substrate (U); b) application of an organic galvanically-resistant and etch-resistant protective layer (S) to the metallic coating (M1, M2) in an electrolytic dip bath; c) removal of the protective layer (S) in future connection regions with the aid of laser beam; d) galvanic deposition of an etch-resistant solderable or bondable end surface (E) layer onto the regions of the metallic coating (M1, M2) exposed during step c); e) removal of the protective layer (S) at least in the regions directly adjacent to the future conductive pattern, using a laser beam; f) etching of the regions of metallic coating (M1, M2) exposed during step e) down to the surface of the substrate (U). Only one organic protective layer (S) is thus necessary; this serves as both galvanic resist and etching resist and can if necessary also be applied as a soldering mask. Electrophoretic enamel, which can be structured several times with a laser beam, is used to form the protective layer (S).
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a laser welding method in which when a laser beam is made incident on a thin film, carbide generated by the heat of the laser beam is prevented from being ejected between respective metallic thin plates. In the present invention, it is configured such that in each of second conductive sections 43 made of a metallic thin plate, a slit 43b which extends from a welding position to the end of the second conductive section 43 is provided, and that the second conductive sections 43 are respectively welded to the terminals 20 by making the laser beam incident at the respective welding positions of the substrate 41 (thin film). Thereby, even when a resin at the laser beam incident portion is carbonized by the thermal energy of the laser beam and thereby the resin carbide is ejected from the welding portion, it is possible to discharge the carbide to the outside from the lower end of the second conductive section 43 via the slit 43b of the second conductive section 43. Thereby, the carbide is prevented from being ejected between the second conductive sections 43 adjacent to each other. As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent the lowering of the insulation resistance between the respective second conductive sections 43 due to the carbide.
