Abstract:
An enhanced prepreg for printed circuit board (PCB) laminates includes a substrate and a resin applied to the substrate. The resin includes a curable polymer and a polymerization initiator polymer having a backbone with a free radical initiator forming segment that breaks apart upon being subjected to heat to generate a plurality of non-volatile initiating species. This resin composition eliminates possible volatile loss of the free radical initiator during all processing steps in the preparation of PCB laminates. The resin may additionally include a cross-linking agent, flame retardant and viscosity modifiers. In one embodiment, a sheet of woven glass fibers is impregnated with the resin and subsequently dried or cured. The glass cloth substrate may include a silane coupling agent to couple the resin to the substrate. In another embodiment, resin coated copper (RCC) is prepared by applying the resin to copper and subsequently curing the resin.

A multilayer circuit board comprises core layers 101 and 102 made of a core material impregnated with resin, resin layers 111 and 112 interposed between the core layers 101 and 102, a wiring pattern 140 embedded in the resin layers 111 and 112. The core layers 101 and 102 have a thickness of 100 μm or smaller, whereby the entire board can significantly be thinned. Furthermore, the less strong resin layers 111 and 112 are interposed between the hard core layers 101 and 102, whereby the entire board has increased strength.

A method for making a leadless chip carrier (LCC) for use in electronic packages having a core layer stripped of copper cladding, containing drilled clearance holes within, a layer of resin coated copper (RCC) placed on the upper surface of the core layer and a second layer of RCC placed on the lower surface of the core layer. The layers are laminated together with the RCC filling the clearance holes during lamination. A pattern is etched on the RCC and vias are drilled through the filled clearance holes and pre-plated with seed copper layers. The seed copper layers in the vias are then covered by a layer of copper plating to meet the requirements of the core buildup layer, and resin inhibiting conductive anodic filament (CAF) growth within the structure.

Abstract:
An opening is formed in resin 20 by a laser beam so that a via hole is formed. At this time, copper foil 22, the thickness of which is reduced (to 3 μm) by performing etching to lower the thermal conductivity is used as a conformal mask. Therefore, an opening 20a can be formed in the resin 20 if the number of irradiation of pulse-shape laser beam is reduced. Therefore, occurrence of undercut of the resin 20 which forms an interlayer insulating resin layer can be prevented. Thus, the reliability of the connection of the via holes can be improved.
Abstract:
A crosslinkable and polymerizable composition containing a monomer and a cross-linking agent is applied onto a metal foil to form a coated film of the composition, and heat is applied to the coated film to firstly bulk polymerize the entire coated film of the crosslinkable and polymerizable composition. Then, by applying heat to the coated film from the metal foil side, cooling a surface far from the metal foil as needed, and subjecting a limited region adjacent to the metal foil in the thickness direction of the coated film to a cross-linking reaction, a composite for multilayer circuit board is obtained, in which the metal foil layer, a hard resin layer containing a hard resin obtained by bulk polymerization reaction and cross-linking reaction, and an adhesive resin layer containing an adhesive resin obtained by bulk polymerization reaction are laminated in this order.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a multilayer wiring board, whereby even if the multilayer wiring board suffers warping or irregularities, thin-film patterns with great uniformity that are to be used as a mask for forming a wiring layer can be obtained in a simple way. A primer-coated metal foil 20 composed of a primer resin layer 21 and a metal layer 22 is placed on a surface of a double-face CCL 10, which is prepared by applying metal layers 12 and 13 onto the surfaces of a support base 11, and the primer-coated metal foil 20 and the double-face CCL 10 are bonded and the primer resin layer 21 is cured. A via Vb is thereafter formed from the metal layer 22 side, and a metal-plate layer 30 is formed on the resulting metal layer 22. After that, the etched down metal-plate layer 30 and the metal layer 22 are patterned, and using the patterned layers as a mask, the primer resin layer 21 is patterned. Using the patterned primer resin layer 21 as a mask, the metal layer 12 of the double-face CCL 10 and the metal-plate layer 30 are patterned to form a wiring pattern.
Abstract:
Producing a circuit board, by laminating, on a substrate, an adhesive film with a metal film, which comprises a water-soluble polymer release layer, a metal film layer and a curable resin composition layer, which are formed in this order on a support layer, and has a release property enabling detachment of said water-soluble polymer release layer from the support layer after curing of the curable resin composition layer, such that the curable resin composition layer contacts the substrate; curing the curable resin composition layer; detaching the support layer, and removing the water-soluble polymer release layer present on the metal film layer by dissolving the release layer in an aqueous solution, efficiently forms an insulating layer and a metal film layer superior in adhesiveness to the insulating layer and in uniformity. By this method, a metal film layer having high adhesiveness and high property uniformity can be formed on the surface without the need for roughening the surface of an insulating layer with an oxidant such as alkaline potassium permanganate solution and the like. Thus, etching for circuit formation can be performed under milder conditions, which in turn provides a superior effect on micro wiring on circuit boards such as multi-layer printed wiring boards, flexible printed wiring boards, and the like.
