Abstract:
To provide a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film capable of suppressing change in relative dielectric constant before and after heating, and a laminated and a circuit board using the same. In this film, a change ratio of a dielectric constant (ε r2 ) of the film after heating to a dielectric constant (ε r1 ) of the film before the heating satisfies the following formula (I) where the film is heated for 1 hour at a temperature in a range from a temperature being 30°C lower than a melting point of the film to a temperature being 10°C higher than the melting point,
where ε r1 denotes the relative dielectric constant before the heating, ε r2 denotes the relative dielectric constant after the heating. These relative dielectric constants are measured at the same frequency in a range of 1 to 100 GHz.
Abstract:
Provided is a liquid crystal polymer film based copper-clad laminate characterized in that a surface of one side or each of both sides of a liquid crystal polymer film has a nitrogen atom content of 10 at% or more, and a metal conductor layer formed by dry plating and/or wet painting is provided on the surface of the liquid crystal polymer film having the nitrogen atom content of 10 at% or more. The liquid crystal polymer film based copper-clad laminate is characterized by having arithmetic average roughness Ra of 0.15 µm or less and a root-mean-square roughness Rq of 0.20 µm or less as surface roughness of the liquid crystal polymer film. Also provided is a method for producing a liquid crystal polymer film based copper-clad laminate characterized by performing plasma processing on the surface of the liquid crystal polymer film under a nitrogen atmosphere at a gas pressure of 2.6 to 15 Pa, followed by forming the metal conductor layer by dry plating and/or wet plating.
Abstract:
The method involves superimposing two layers, and metallizing two faces of each layer. An interlayer made of metallized thermoplastic material e.g. liquid crystal polymer, is arranged between the two layers. Holes are pierced within the two layers before the two layers are placed in contact with each other, and within the interlayer. The holes are metallized. A metal is applied on openings of the holes of the two layers, and another metal is applied on openings of the holes of the interlayer. The two layers and the interlayer are pressed for diffusion bonding of zones covered with the metals. An independent claim is also included for a printed circuit board comprising two superimposed metallized layers.
Abstract:
The present invention has for its object to provide a flexible circuit board and a method for production thereof in which in cases where elastic wiring in movable parts of a robot, etc., is required, the wiring can be made to expand and contract with a simple arrangement, and at the same time, the circuit board is excellent in weight reduction as well as size reduction, and breaking or disconnection and exfoliation of a wiring layer do not take place easily, even in cases where the circuit board is deformed in a repeated manner. The present invention resides in a flexible circuit board (1) which has an insulating film (2) made of a thermoplastic resin, a wiring layer (3A) formed on said insulating film, and an insulating layer (4) made of a thermoplastic resin and formed on said wiring layer (3A), and which is characterized in that a spiral part (5) shaped into a spiral shape is provided in at least a part of said flexible circuit board, and said flexible circuit board is constructed to be expandable and contractable, and/ or torsionally deformable in said spiral part (5).
Abstract:
A method is for making a non-planar three-dimensional (3D) multilayered circuit board. The method may include forming a stacked arrangement including at least one pair of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) layers with a bonding layer therebetween. The stacked arrangement may further include at least one electrically conductive pattern layer on at least one of the LCP layers. The method may further include heating and applying pressure to the stacked arrangement to shape the stacked arrangement into a non-planar 3D shape and concurrently causing the bonding layer to bond together the adjacent LCP layers of the stacked arrangement to thereby form the non-planar 3D multi-layered circuit board.
