Abstract:
A resonant circuit for use with a radio-wave detection system for the prevention of shoplifting or the like, which is formed on a flexible substrate and has a coil and capacitor circuit whereby the capacitor has an indented area in the dielectric of the capacitor to promote disablement of the circuit when exposed to a strong electromagnetic field. Upon exposure to a strong electromagnetic field, an electrical short forms across the dielectric of capacitor in the indented area. Because the short is fragile and can be opened by flexure of the circuit, an island of reinforcing material is formed in the indented area, such that when the substrate is flexed, the indented area remains rigid to protect the short. The indented area can be further stress-relieved by introducing a gap in the conductors forming the capacitor plates.
Abstract:
The insulation base side of single-sided FPC is turned to the die side, and the mounting surface side of ground circuit is turned to the upper side, and the FPC is placed on die (a). When the portion of ground circuit where the conduction is realized and metal reinforcing plate are punched by punch of which the clearance dimension is made to be 50 to 95% of the thickness of the material to be punched, hole sagging will be formed (b). The insulation base 1 side is turned up, electrically conductive adhesive and metal reinforcing plate are laminated in this order, heating pressing is performed with the press apparatus for metal reinforcing plate to be laminated (c). Thereby, laminated FPC is formed (d). At this time, since electrically conductive adhesive is injected into hole sagging by press pressing, the electrical connection of metal reinforcing plate and ground circuit can be attained by the interlaminar conduction by means of electrically conductive adhesive, and there is also no residual air.

A base substrate is laminated between the first substrate and the second substrate such that the first substrate extends beyond an edge of the second substrate, and at least one via formed in at least one of the first substrate or the second substrate. A thickness of a portion of the base substrate that is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate is greater than a thickness of a portion of the base substrate that is not sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate.
Abstract:
A hybrid structure of multi-layer substrates comprises a first multi-layer substrate and a second multi-layer substrate. The first multi-layer substrate stacks up first metal layers, first dielectric layers alternately and has VIAs. A border district of a first metal layer connects with a border district of the corresponding first dielectric layer. The border districts are separated from adjacent first metal layers and adjacent first dielectric layers. The second multi-layer substrate stacks up second metal layers and second dielectric layers alternately. A border district of a second metal layer connects with a border district of the corresponding second dielectric layer. The border districts are separated from adjacent second metal layers and adjacent second dielectric layers. The VIAs are located at the border districts of the first dielectric layers and each VIA has electric conductor therein to connect one first metal layer with one second metal layer.
