The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for manufacturing a copper clad laminate, which can achieve a substantial improvement in the peel strength between a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer and a copper foil. The apparatus comprises: a coating means for thinly coating the surface of a copper foil with a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer solution; a solvent removal means for drying the coated liquid crystal polymer solution to remove the solvent of the coated solution; and a thermal pressing means for laminating and thermally pressing a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film onto the copper foil using heating rolls so as to make a copper clad laminate.
