Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a printed circuit board enables a metal residue between wirings to be removed inexpensively without side etching of a copper layer while having sufficient insulation reliability for micro wiring working. The method includes forming a base metal layer directly at least on one face of an insulator film without an adhesive, and a copper coat layer formed on the base metal layer to form adhesiveless copper clad laminates, then forming a pattern on the adhesiveless copper clad laminates by an etching method. The etching method includes a process of etching treatment for the adhesiveless copper clad laminates with an iron (III) chloride solution or a copper (II) chloride solution containing hydrochloric acid and then, a process of treatment with an acid oxidant containing potassium permanganate.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention provide patterned electrodes with substantially reduced or removed residue. Aspects of the present invention for removing residue are applicable to any fabricated structure including transparent electrodes. By substantially reducing or removing residue typically associated with methods used to form patterned electrodes, an improvement in performance can be realized by ensuring that the deposition of subsequent materials onto a substrate is not adversely affected by any such residue. In turn, better interconnects can be formed and better coverage of subsequent layers can be achieved. The method for producing patterned electrodes with substantially reduced or removed residue in accordance with the present invention can be used in conjunction with any known method for patterning conductors or electrodes.

The present invention provides an electronic device having high insulating reliability, in which metal portions of a circuit are not electrically conductive with each other via an adhesive layer even when the electronic device is used in high-temperature low-humidity conditions or high-temperature high-humidity conditions, and provides a production method for the electronic device, and a semiconductor device comprising the electronic device. In the electronic device in which a circuit formed by pattern formation of metal portions is attached via an adhesive layer to an insulating base, the adhesive layer, which contacts adjacent metal portions, is divided.

Abstract:
A printed circuit card made of plastic has a carbonization sensor for protection against smoldering electrical fires. The carbonization sensor contains a first and a second conductor track disposed on the printed circuit card and also a monitoring device. The two conductor tracks are electrically insulated from one another by the plastic, and the monitoring device monitors an insulating state of the two conductor tracks in relation to one another and produces a fault signal. Local overheating of the printed circuit card is detected at an early time by the carbonization sensor, before an avalanche effect caused by the carbonization, which makes the printed circuit card electrically conductive, leads to a smoldering electrical fire.
