  • Patent number: 8211494
    Abstract: A mask film, where squeegee cleaning part has been formed at a predetermined position, and another mask film are attached to both sides of a substrate. A through-hole is formed by using a laser, and conductive paste is filled into the through-hole by using a squeezing method. As discussed above, a paste-residue can be prevented on the through-hole, so that a circuit board having high quality of connection can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 8069557
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a circuit forming board, a first sheet having a first direction is transferred in a second direction, so that the first direction of the first sheet is parallel to the second direction. Films are stuck onto both surfaces of the first sheet while transferring the first sheet in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction of the first sheet. This method allows a connecting member, such as conductive paste, to electrically couple between layers of the circuit forming board.

  • Patent number: 7143772
    Abstract: It is possible to obtain a clean high-quality circuit board by removing affected material and foreign matter produced when a hole is formed. A manufacturing method of the circuit board includes (a) preparing a film-coated board material by bonding a film material as a mask to a board material, (b) forming a hole in the film-coated board material by applying a laser beam thereto, and (c) selectively removing the unnecessary material sticking to the film-coated board material from the film-coated board material by supersonic cleaning without peeling the film material off the board material. Unnecessary material such as foreign matter is produced when the hole is formed, and the unnecessary material sticks to the board material. After removal of such unnecessary material, a conductive material is disposed in the hole, using the film material as a mask, and the film material is later removed from the board material.

  • Patent number: 7066344
    Abstract: A mask film includes a base material, a parting layer and a non-parting portion placed on the base material. Accordingly, an optimum adhesion strength of the mask film and a prepreg sheet can be maintained, and peeling between the mask film and prepreg sheet can be prevented. Further, by preventing the fusing adhesion between the mask film and prepreg sheet due to heat generated when forming penetration holes, a circuit board having an excellent quality is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6993836
    Abstract: A circuit board having stable connection resistance can be obtained. The multi-layer circuit board includes the steps of making through-holes in a incompressible substrate having films on either side thereof via a bonding layer; filling conductive paste into the through-holes; removing the films from the substrate; laminating metallic foils to either side of the substrate and heating same under pressures to harden the bonding layer, bonding the metallic foils to the substrate and electrically connecting the sides of the substrate to each other; and forming a circuit pattern by machining the metallic foils.

  • Patent number: 6893530
    Abstract: A method and system of cleaning to remove cutting dust and the like generated and adhering to a board material (1a) during drilling for electrical connection, and drying the board material, in a process of manufacturing a circuit board for small electronic equipment and the like. A large amount of board materials can be treated without receiving thermal damage by performing the steps of: placing sheets of the board material that have absorbed moisture resulting from cleaning, like a stack in a vacuum chamber (11); and drying the board material by repeating evacuation and pressurization under predetermined conditions while heating the board material.

  • Patent number: 6528733
    Abstract: An inner layer circuit board with a convex inner layer circuit pattern having a predetermined thickness, a prepreg sheet having conductive material disposed in a plurality of through-holes and metallic foil are laminated to a substrate, and the laminated board is heated under pressures. After that, a laminated circuit pattern is formed by machining the metallic foil. In such multi-layer circuit board, a smoothing layer is disposed on a concave portion where no inner layer circuit pattern of the inner layer circuit board is formed. In this way, the conductive materials disposed in a plurality of through-holes are uniformly compressed. As a result, the connection resistance between the inner circuit pattern and the laminated circuit pattern becomes stabilized.
