Abstract:
A method for making lead frame devices wherein a thin metal foil is adhered to a stiffener panel by means of a photoresist layer to enable all processing steps by which the metal foil is transformed into an appropriate and predetermined lead frame configuration. After the lead frame fabrication is completed, the photoresist is removed by suitable means and ready for application and functional use as an electronic component electrical connecting device.
Abstract:
A process for stabilizing printed circuit board substrate or laminate through application of a number of laminate conditioning and baking cycles which function to provide the laminates with dimensional stability. This enables greater control and more precise drilling of the laminates in subsequent fabrication and assembly operations. The dimensional stability for a substrate becomes more critical as the substrate size is increased.
