  • Patent number: 8685196
    Abstract: In a method for producing a multilayer printed circuit board from a plurality of conducting or conductive and non-conducting or insulating layers or plies to be connected to each other, in particular to be pressed together, wherein after connecting at least partially planar layers at least a partial region (11) thereof is removed, and wherein in order to prevent adherence of the partial region (11) to be removed a material (8) preventing adhesion is applied in accordance with the partial region to be removed onto a layer (9) which adjoins the partial region to be removed, it is provided that the material (8) preventing adhesion is formed by a mixture comprising a release agent on the basis of at least one metal soap, preferably the fatty acid salts of Al, Mg, Ca, Na and Zn, a binding agent, and a solvent, whereby a partial region to be removed can be removed easily and reliably after appropriate treatment and/or processing steps of the multilayer printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20140008012
    Abstract: In a method for producing a circuit board element, the following steps are provided: providing a substantially whole-area carrier having an adhesive surface; arranging and fixing a starting material of the circuit board element to be produced on the adhesive surface of the carrier; producing the circuit board element fixed on the carrier in a position fixed on the carrier; and removing the produced circuit board element from the carrier. Furthermore, a carrier for use in such a method is provided, wherein it is possible, in particular, to dispense with complex steps for separating or singulating circuit board elements and, with conservation of resources as a result of reusability of a carrier, it is possible to obtain cost savings in the production of circuit board elements.

  • Patent number: 8541689
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing a part of a substantially planar material layer (2) which is connected to at least one further, substantially planar material layer (9) in a connecting step. According to the invention, a zone where the material layers (2, 9) are not directly interconnected is provided in the zone where the part (11) is later on removed, said first zone being provided by applying a material (8) that prevents the material layers to be interconnected from sticking to each other. The invention also relates to a multilayer structure and to the use of the method and to a multilayer structure especially for producing a multilayer printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 8500938
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a flexi-rigid printed circuit board, at least one rigid zone (1, 17, 18) of a printed circuit board being connected via a layer of non-conducting material or a dielectric layer (13, 15) to at least one flexible zone (7) of the printed circuit board, the at least one rigid zone being connected to the flexible zone (7) of the printed circuit board, the rigid zone (1) of the printed circuit board then being cut through and a connection between the separate, rigid partial zones (17, 18) of the printed circuit board being established via the flexible zone (7) that is connected thereto. According to the invention, the connection between the at least one rigid zone (1, 17, 18) of the printed circuit board and the at least one flexible zone (7) of the printed circuit board is established by bonding prior to cutting the rigid zone.

  • Publication number: 20130176692
    Abstract: For a method for producing a circuit board consisting of a plurality of circuit board areas, wherein the individual circuit board areas comprise at least one layer made of an in insulating base material and a conducting pattern located on or in the base material, the following is provided: a substrate material, at least one registration mark formed in the substrate material, a first circuit board area arranged on the substrate material, at least one additional circuit board area, which substantially adjoins the first circuit board area or at least partially overlaps the first circuit board, the additional circuit board areas being oriented relative to the registration mark, and a plurality of connections of the conducting patterns of the first circuit board area and of the at least one additional circuit board area. Thus improved registration and orientation can be achieved when circuit board areas are coupled.

  • Patent number: 8388792
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nonstick material for use during removal of a part (11) of a substantially planar material layer (2) which is connected in a connecting step to at least on further, substantially planar material layer (9). According to the invention, the nonstick material (8) has a different polarity than the adjoining, substantially planar material layers (2, 9). The invention also relates to a method for removing a part (11) of a substantially planar material layer (2) which is connected in a connecting step to at least one further, substantially planar material layer (9), to a multilayer structure which consists of at least two substantially planar material layers (2, 9) to be interconnected, and to a use of the same, especially in a multilayer printed circuit board.
