  • Publication number: 20140373350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a circuit board involving the removal of a subregion thereof. In said method, at least two layers or plies of the circuit board (1) are interconnected, the subregion (6) to be removed is prevented from being connected to an adjacent ply of the circuit board by providing a layer (7) of adhesion-preventing or bonding-preventing material, and peripheral zones (8) of the subregion (6) to be removed are separated from adjoining zones of the circuit board (1). According to the invention, a fissure formation and/or a detachment from the subregion (6) of the circuit board (1) to be removed is initiated in a subregion in or on the layer (7) of adhesion-preventing or bonding-preventing material, and the subregion (6) to be removed is then removed, thus making it possible to remove a subregion (6) to be removed from a circuit board (1) in a simple and reliable, and if necessary automated, manner.
