Abstract: A molding pin for a metal die is prevented from breaking, solder is surely deposited, and thus, a circuit pitch can be reduced to the limit. On the front plane of a circuit board, prescribed circuit patterns made of a conductive material are formed, and on the rear plane, prescribed circuit patterns are also formed. On the circuit board, a through hole is formed to carry electricity between the circuit patterns on both planes. The inner shape of the through hole is narrow in a direction between the adjacent circuit patterns and wide in a circuit extending direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a formed circuit component, wherein the surface of a substrate is roughened by being irradiated with laser ray instead of being etched using a chemical agent, thereby assuring sufficient adhesive strength with an electroless plating. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing a formed circuit component, which comprises: a first step of forming a substrate (1); a second step of radiating a first laser ray (2) and thereby roughening either a surface of the substrate (1) or only a circuit forming region (1a) of the substrate surface; a third step of applying a catalyst (3) to the surface of the substrate (1); a fourth step of drying the substrate (1); a fifth step of radiating a second laser ray (4), thereby lowering or eliminating the function of the catalyst (3) on a non-circuit forming region (1b); and a sixth step of electroless-plating the circuit forming region (1a) of the substrate surface.

Abstract: An electroconductive circuit, in which a masking material and a substrate both have low dielectric loss tangent to high-frequency signal and have excellent adhesion to each other, can be formed in a simple and low-cost manner. A cycloolefin resin with a flexible polymer mixed and dispersed therein is injection molded to form a primary substrate 1, and a cycloolefin resin having compatibility in which a flexible polymer has not been mixed, is injection molded on the surface of the primary substrate 1 to form a masking layer 2. Since the cycloolefin resin itself has etching resistance, for only the surface of the primary substrate 1 not covered with the masking layer 2, that is, only a part 1a on which an electroconductive circuit is to be formed, the flexible polymer can be dissolved for roughening and only the part 1a can be rendered hydrophilic. Accordingly, an electroconductive layer 4 can be selectively formed by electroless plating only onto the part 1a not covered with the masking layer 2.

Abstract: A molded circuit board is formed by a process comprising the steps of: molding liquid crystal polymer of plating grade into a primary molded member which outline corresponds to the dimensions of the molded circuit board; roughening the surface of the primary molded member; molding a secondary molded member by coating the primary molded member with oxyalkylene-containing poly(vinyl alcohol) resin over the surface thereof except for a portion thereof on which a circuit is to be formed; heating the first and secondary molded members; applying catalyst to the portion of the surface of the primary molded member not covered by the secondary molded member; heating the first and secondary molded members in hot water to elute the secondary molded member; and chemically plating the catalyst-applied-portion to form the circuit thereon, by which the size of the molded circuit board is minimized with simple procedures and production cost reduced.

Abstract: After forming a conductive layer on the entire surface of an insulation substrate, a resin mask of poly lactic acid etc. resin which will hydrolyze in an alkali aqueous solution is integrally formed on the insulation substrate so that a part to which a conductive layer of a predetermined pattern is to be formed is exposed. Then, a conductive layer is overlaid on the part exposed from the resin mask by means of electrolytic plating using an acidic bath composition. The interface between the resin mask of poly lactic acid etc. resin and the conductive layer reproduces an accurate contour of the pattern. Thereafter, the resin mask is efficiently removed by hydrolysis using an alkali aqueous solution, and finally the conductive layer is removed by chemical etching to thereby form a conductive layer having the predetermined pattern on the surface of the insulation substrate.
