Abstract:
Methods for forming holes of predetermined size in polyimide substrates having metallic layers adhesively attached thereto include selectively removing areas of desired size and shape from the metallic layer; contacting the exposed adhesive layer with a selective etchant therefor that does not affect the polyimide substrate or undercut the adhesive near the opening formed; and selectively etching the polyimide substrate exposed in the openings by removal of the adhesive layer overlying the polyimides. These methods permit rapid, efficient formation of holes having a diameter as small as one mil (0.00254 cm).
Abstract:
A method for forming a circuit on a surface of an insulating substrate (10) comprises the steps of adhering Angstroms thick metallization (16) to the surface of the insulating substrate, placing conductive material (24) on the metallization through a photoresist pattern (20) of the circuit, stripping the resist pattern from the substrate, and removing the metallization not covered by the circuit of the conductive material by use of the conductive material as a resist.
Abstract:
A flex harness (20) and a printed wiring board are provided (18) with a plurality of bumps (66) on each line (62) so that, upon mating between the flex harness and the printed wiring board, the bumps provide redundant connections therebetween.
Abstract:
Un faisceau de câbles souple (20) et une carte de câblage imprimée (18) présentent plusieurs protubérances (66) placées sur chaque ligne (62) de sorte que, lors de l'appariage entre le faisceau de câbles souple et la carte de câblage imprimée, les protubérances assurent des connexions redondantes entre eux.

Abstract:
Procédés de formation de trous de taille prédéterminée dans des substrats à base de polyimide sur lesquels adhèrent des couches métalliques. Les procédés consistent à éliminer sélectivement de la couche métallique des zones de taille et de forme désirées; à mettre en contact la couche adhésive exposée avec un décapant sélectif qui n'affecte pas le substrat à base de polyimide ou qui n'affaiblit pas l'adhésif à proximité de l'ouverture formée; et à attaquer de manière sélective le substrat à base de polyimide exposé dans les ouvertures par l'élimination de la couche adhésive recouvrant le polyimide. Ces procédés permettent de former de manière rapide et efficiente des trous possédant un diamètre aussi petit qu'un mil (0,00254 cm).
