  • Patent number: 7820363
    Abstract: In a process for forming a solder mask, a photoimageable ink is coated on a carrier film to form a photoimageable ink layer on the carrier film. The photoimageable ink layer is dried to form a photoimageable resist layer, thereby forming at least one photoimageable resist layer bearing film. The photoimageable resist layer bearing film is laminated on at least one side of a substrate so as to bring the upper surface of the photoimageable resist layer into contact with the substrate. The photoimageable resist layer is exposed to light imagewise through the carrier film. The carrier film is removed from the photoimageable resist layer to form an exposed resist layer. The exposed resist layer is developed to form a developed resist layer. The developed resist layer is cured to form a solder mask on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6824858
    Abstract: A photocurable and thermosetting composition which is useful in forming a matte film and can be developed with an aqueous alkaline solution is provided. The composition comprises (A) a photosensitive prepolymer obtained by causing a saturated or unsaturated polybasic acid anhydride to react with a hydroxyl group of an esterification product of a novolak type epoxy compound and an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, (B) a carboxyl group-containing copolymer resin, (C) a photopolymerization initiator, (D) a diluent, (E) a polyfunctional epoxy compound having at least two epoxy groups in its molecule, and, when necessary, (F) an inorganic filler. The composition may further comprise (G) an epoxy resin curing agent. This composition can be advantageously used for the formation of a solder resist on a printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 6586526
    Abstract: A multilayer printed circuit board having resinous insulating layers and conductor layers alternately superposed on a circuit board with ample adhesive strength, a method for the production thereof, and a curable resin composition useful for the formation of resinous insulating layers are disclosed. The manufacture of the multilayer printed circuit board is accomplished by applying the curable resin composition to the surface of conductor layer of the circuit board, thermally curing the applied layer thereby forming resinous insulating layer, then boring a through-hole in the circuit board, treating the resinous insulating layer with a coarsening agent thereby imparting undulating coarsened surface thereto, subsequently coating the surface of resinous insulating layer and the inner surface of the through-hole with a conductor layer as by electroless plating, and thereafter forming a prescribed circuit pattern in the conductor layer.

  • Patent number: 6177490
    Abstract: A liquid thermosetting filling composition comprising (A) an epoxy resin assuming a liquid state at room temperature, (B) a phenolic resin assuming a liquid state at room temperature, (C) a curing catalyst, and (D) an inorganic filler is useful as an ink for permanently filling such holes as via holes and through holes in printed circuit boards of a multilayer board or a double-sided board, a sealing compound for IC packages, and the like. This composition is a two-stage thermally curing type. In a method for permanently filling holes in a printed circuit board, the composition is applied to the board so as to fill the holes in the printed circuit board and precured by application of heat. The parts of the precured composition protruding from a surface defining the holes is removed by polishing and then the precured composition is further heated to cause final curing thereof.
