Abstract: A press pad for use in lamination of multi-layer circuit boards is disclosed. The press pad includes: a planar pad having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; and a sheet of release film coupled to the first surface, wherein the release film sheet is coupled to the first surface using an acrylic-based adhesive containing thermoplastic polyolefin and methyl acrylate, and wherein the release film sheet comprises polyimide-based film.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a press pad is disclosed. The method includes: providing a planar pad having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and a release film sheet, the release film sheet including a polyimide-based film; cleaning the planar pad, the cleaning including electrostatically removing particulates from surfaces of the planar pad; and attaching a release film sheet to the first surface of the planar pad, the release film sheet being attached to the first surface using an acrylic-based adhesive containing thermoplastic polyolefin and methyl acrylate.

Abstract: A burr-suppressing copper foil is described. In an embodiment, the burr-supressing 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: Supported copper foils and method for making and using supported copper foils are described. In an aspect, a supported copper foil includes: a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film; a thin copper foil; and an adhesive provided between the PET film and the thin copper foil, the adhesive removably coupling the PET film to the copper foil.
