Abstract: A method of manufacturing a supported copper product is disclosed. The method includes: providing a thin copper foil and a poly-based film containing polyimide and polytetrafluoroethylene, the poly-based film having an adhesive applied to a surface of the poly-based film; thermally treating the thin copper foil and the poly-based film along their respective lengths, the thermal treatment being adjustable to vary an amount of heat applied to the thin copper foil and the poly-based film; and attaching the thermally treated thin copper foil and the thermally treated poly-based film using the adhesive applied at the surface of the poly-based film.

Abstract: A burr-suppressing copper foil is described. In an embodiment, the burr-suppressing copper foil includes a poly-based film having an adhesive on a first side and an adhesive on a second side. A copper foil contacts the adhesive at the first side of the poly-based film to removably couple the poly-based film to the copper foil. A metallic burr suppressor contacts the adhesive on the second side to removably couple the poly-based film to the metallic burr suppressor.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a printed circuit board (PCB) comprises firstly constructing a first book which includes first and second supported copper foils located at the bottom and top respectively. Each supported copper foil includes a respective poly-based film, a thin copper foil, and an adhesive provided between the film and the thin foil; the adhesive being permanently attached to the film and removably attached to the thin foil. The first book further comprises a first prepreg adjacent the thin foil of the first foil, copper clad laminates adjacent the first prepreg, and a second prepreg on a side of the copper clad laminates that opposes a side adjacent the first prepreg. Next, applying a lamination cycle to the first book using a laminating press to cure the first and second prepregs. Finally, removing the films from the thin foils associated with each of the first and second supported foil.
