  • Patent number: 7571540
    Abstract: A method of producing a suspension board with circuit, wherein after an insulating base layer is formed on a metal supporting board, a conductive pattern including a ground wiring pattern and a signal wiring pattern is formed on the insulating base layer. Then, an insulating cover layer to cover the conductive pattern is formed on the insulating base layer in such a manner that a first cover opening portion and a second cover opening portion are formed in the insulating cover layer. Then, an electrolytic plating layer is formed on a surface of the ground terminal exposed from the first cover opening portion and on a surface of the ground connecting portion exposed from the second cover opening portion, feeding electric power from the ground wire. Thereafter, a metal filling layer is formed in the base opening portion to electrically connect the ground connecting portion and the metal supporting board.

  • Patent number: 7129418
    Abstract: A suspension board with circuit permits a terminal portion to be formed by electrolysis plating without exposing a conductor layer to outside and a production method thereof. After an insulating base layer is formed on a suspension board in a specific pattern in which a second opening is formed, a thin metal film is formed on the insulating base layer and on the suspension board including the second opening exposed from the insulating base layer. A conductor layer is formed in the form of a wired circuit pattern on the thin metal film. An insulating cover layer is formed with a pad opening therein, and a pad portion formed in the pad opening using the suspension board as a lead portion of the electrolysis plating. A first opening larger than the second opening is formed in the suspension board at a portion thereof corresponding to the second opening.

  • Patent number: 6398854
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical solution for forming a silver film on a substrate. This chemical solution has (1) an ammoniac silver nitrate solution; (2) a reducing solution containing a reducing agent and a base component; and (3) an additive containing a compound of a polyvalent metal. This additive is contained in at least one of the ammoniac silver nitrate solution and the reducing solution. The present invention further relates to a process for forming a silver film on a substrate, using the chemical solution. This process includes (a) bringing a hydrochloric acid acidified stannous chloride solution into contact with a surface of the substrate, thereby conducting a pretreatment of the surface; (b) bringing another ammoniac silver nitrate solution into contact with the surface of the substrate; and (c) bringing the ammoniac silver nitrate solution into contact with the reducing solution, on the surface of the substrate, thereby forming the silver film.

  • Patent number: 5519542
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coating composition for preparing a back coating film of a mirror. The mirror has a glass substrate, a silver mirror film formed on a back surface of the glass substrate, a metallic protective film formed on the silver mirror film, and the back coating film formed on the metallic protective film. The coating composition comprises: a binder consisting of 40 to 85 parts by weight of the total of an epoxy resin and a hardener of the epoxy resin, and 15 to 60 parts by weight of at least one selected from the group consisting of a ketone formaldehyde resin and its derivatives; and a pigment blend containing 7-55 wt % of a corrosion-inhibitive pigment based on the weight of the pigment blend. The weight ratio of the pigment blend to the binder is in the range from 1.2 to 4.0. The back coating film is superior in chemical resistance and corrosion resistance even if a lead-free corrosion-inhibitive pigment is used.
