Abstract:
A multiple flashlamp array is designed having a plurality of lamps fired individually and in sequence and includes a plurality of static solid switching devices capable of being easily activated by radiant energy generated during flashing of the lamps. Initially, the switches have a high resistance ("off" condition) and after being activated by radiation, they undergo chemical conversion to a conductive state ("on" condition). The switches are prepared from compositions which impart improved shelf life under conditions of relatively high humidity at above normal ambient temperatures.
Abstract:
The printed circuit board includes a base made of an infrared radiation transparent material and, on one side of the base, electrical conductors. Between the base and the electrical conductors is an infrared radiation-absorbing interface. The interface and the conductors are bonded to the base by pressure and heat or by heating the board with infrared radiation transmitted through the base and onto the interface which converts the infrared radiation to heat to complete the bonding cure cycle. Electronic components having leads shaped as supporting feet may be reflow soldered to the conductors by similarly transmitting infrared radiation through the base onto the interface. The heat required for soldering is then carried by the conductors from the interface to the solder by thermal conduction. The components are not exposed to the infrared radiation, and no shields or special solders are needed to solder the components to the printed circuit board.

The prepared novel material layer structure of the circuit board has high-frequency characteristics and/or copper ion migration resistance, and can be used as an integral structure. In the circuit board manufacturing process, it can be manufactured as the circuit board manufacturing material to be different circuit board structures, which brings great convenience for subsequent circuit board manufacturing and simplifies the manufacturing process.

The present invention is directed to non-lithographic patterning by laser (or similar-type energy beam) ablation, where the ablation system ultimately results in circuitry features that are relative free from debris induced over-plating defects (debris relating to the ablation process) and fully additive plating induced over-plating defects. Compositions of the invention include a circuit board precursor having an insulating substrate and a cover layer. The insulating substrate is made from a dielectric material and also a metal oxide activatable filler. The cover layer can be sacrificial or non-sacrificial and is used to remediate unwanted debris arising from the ablation process.

More particularly the invention relates to an article and process for fabricating patterns of electrically conductive materials on non-electrically conductive substrates by laser ablation. Such an article and process find use in the production of RDIF devices, antennae, electrical circuits, microwave susceptors, contacts, leads, conductors, interactive displays, electrostatic shielding devices and the like. The process involves first providing an electrically conductive metal layer on an electrically non-conductive substrate. Then an electronic circuit is electrically connected to the electrically conductive metal layer. Thereafter a portion of the electrically conductive metal layer is ablated with infrared laser radiation to form a pattern of electrically conductive areas and electrically non-conductive areas on the substrate, wherein at least a portion of the electrically conductive areas are electrically connected to the electronic circuit.
