Abstract:
The invention relates to the manufacture of printed circuit boards having improved interlayer adhesion. More particularly, the present invention pertains to adhesiveless printed circuit boards having excellent thermal performance and useful for producing high-density circuits. A metal foil coated with a polyimide film is laminated onto an etched surface of a polyimide substrate. Etching the substrate surface allows for strong adhesion of a pure polyimide film to the substrate.
Abstract:
In order to provide a multilayer printed circuit board having a fine pitch circuit, the interlaminar insulating adhesive used therein must have heat resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient so that required accuracy can be obtained during circuit formation and mounting of components. Therefore, the present invention aims at providing a multilayer printed circuit board which uses an interlaminar insulating adhesive superior in heat resistance and low in thermal expansion coefficient and wherein the insulating adhesive layer has a small variation in thickness between circuit layers. That is, the present invention lies in an interlaminar insulating adhesive for multilayer printed circuit board containing the following components as essential components: (a) a sulfur-containing thermoplastic resin having a weight-average molecular weight of 103 to 105, (b) a sulfur-containing epoxy or phenoxy resin having a weight-average molecular weight of 103 to 105, (c) a multifunctional epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent of 500 or less, and (d) an epoxy-curing agent.

A method of constructing a planar array of electrical contact pads is disclosed, comprising the following steps. First, providing a set of dielectric layers each having two major surfaces and forming a set of first conductive paths on a first major surface, the paths terminating at or before an interior perimeter, to leave an interior area within the interior perimeter free of conductive paths and an exterior area outside of the interior perimeter having the first conductive paths. Second, forming a set of second conductive paths on a second major surface, the second conductive paths terminating generally inside the interior perimeter. Third, joining the sets of dielectric layers to form a depthwise stack of layers, the stack of layers having a top surface and the first major surface being interposed depthwise between the top surface and the second major surface. Forth, forming an array of first and second electrical contact pads on the top surface, each first electrical contact pad overlaying a portion of the exterior area and each second electrical contact pad overlaying a portion of the interior area. Fifth and finally, forming a set of plated vias to connect each first electrical contact pad to a first conductive path and each second electrical contact pad to a second conductive path.
