Abstract: A photosensitive resin composition which contains (A) polyamic acid, (B) (meth)acrylate having at least two photopolymerizable C?C unsaturated double bonds, (C) a photopolymerization initiator and (D) a flame retardant, with the (meth)acrylate (B) having at least two photopolymerizable C?C unsaturated double bonds being contained in an amount of 10 to 700 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the polyamic acid (A).

Abstract: The adhesive resin of the invention comprises a polyimide resin obtained by reacting a diamine component containing the compound (1) as an essential component with a tetracarboxylic dianhydride component. The diamine component contains a silicone diamine having a specific structure and/or the tetracarboxylic dianhydride component contains a silicone acid dianhydride having a specific structure. Film adhesives made by using the adhesive resin preferably together with a thermosetting resin, and, if necessary, an inorganic filler are excellent in low-temperature adhesion, resistance to moisture absorption, heat resistance, and workability in adhesive adhering and are favorably usable as semiconductor-mounting materials for adhering semiconductor elements to substrates.

Abstract: Polyimide layers having special properties are formed on the bottom surface of a metallic body for a metal-based semiconductor circuit substrate with a polyimide layer as an insulator. There are four lamination methods: (a) a method in which a layer of thermoplastic polyimide resin (1) and a layer of non-thermoplastic polyimide resin are laminated on the bottom surface of the metallic body one over another in this order, (b) a method in which a layer of thermoplastic polyimide resin (1), a layer of non-thermoplastic polyimide resin and a layer of thermoplastic polyimide resin (2) are laminated on the bottom surface of a metallic body one over another in this order, (c) a method in which a layer of non-thermoplastic polyimide resin is laminated on the bottom surface of a metallic body and (d) a method in which a layer of thermoplastic polyimide resin (2) is laminated on the bottom surface of a metallic body.

Abstract: An insulating adhesive tape which comprises a base supporting film and an adhesive layer formed on at least one surface thereof, said adhesive layer being formed of a thermoplastic polymer comprising a thermoplastic polyimide, wherein said thermoplastic polymer has a glass transition temperature ranging from 180.degree. C. to 280.degree. C. and an elastic modulus ranging from 10.sup.10 dyne/cm.sup.2 to 10.sup.11 dyne/cm.sup.2 at 25.degree. C., said modulus including a value ranging from 10.sup.2 dyne/cm.sup.2 to 10.sup.9 dyne/cm.sup.2 at a temperature between 250.degree. C. and 300.degree. C.

Abstract: An elongated flexible metal clad laminate formed of at least one metal layer and at least one plastic layer and having a smaller interlayer dimensional difference and excellent process-ability. A defect that a dimension of the metal layer is longer than a corresponding dimension of the plastic layer when they are compared to each other as discrete layers has been corrected by causing the metal layer to continually undergo compression plastic deformation in the form of the laminate and hence compressing the metal layer. A production method for the laminate and an apparatus for the method.

Abstract: A polyimide film formed by using a symmetrical aromatic meta-substituted primary diamine and a symmetrical aromatic para-substituted primary diamine as raw materials in a specific proportion has excellent heat resistance, electrical properties, flexibility and the like. Such a polyimide film can be bonded to a metal foil not by using any adhesive, but by coating the metal foil with a polyamic acid constituting a precursor of the polyimide and further reacting the polyamic acid to convert it to the polyimide. In this manner, there can be obtained a flexible laminate for printed-circuit board comprising a polyimide film bonded to a metal foil with good adhesion and exhibiting excellent properties as described above.

Abstract: A long flexible metal clad laminate, which has a thin aromatic polyimide film formed on a long metal foil, is caused to slide under tension, along its length, on curved surfaces of four bars arranged at specific positions, so that its curls are corrected and its dimensional stability is improved.
