  • Publication number: 20170103777
    Abstract: A substrate for suspension comprises a metallic substrate, an insulating layer formed on the metallic substrate, a conductor layer formed on the insulating layer, and a cover layer covering the conductor layer. The insulating layer and the cover layer are formed from different materials, whose coefficients of hygroscopic expansion are in the range between 3×10?6/% RH and 30×10?6/% RH. The difference between the coefficients of hygroscopic expansion of the two materials is 5×10?6/% RH or less.

  • Patent number: 8399774
    Abstract: A substrate for suspension comprises a metallic substrate, an insulating layer formed on the metallic substrate, having an opening for grounding terminal, and a grounding conductor formed on the insulating layer. A grounding-terminal-forming material is placed in the opening for grounding terminal to form a grounding terminal that connects the metallic substrate and the grounding conductor. The grounding conductor does not surround a portion of the circumference of the opening for grounding terminal.

  • Patent number: 7185429
    Abstract: A flexible multilayer wiring board manufactured by laminating a metal foil via an insulating layer to cover the first layer circuit wiring formed on a conductive substrate, and a resist layer is formed to cover the second layer circuit wiring formed by pattern-etching the metal foil. Using the conductive substrate as a power feeding layer, a conductive material is filled, by electrolytic plating, into interlayer via holes each formed applying a laser beam to the resist layer to establish interlayer connection between the first and second layer circuit wirings. Using the conductive substrate as a power feeding layer, a conductive material is filled, by electrolytic plating, into hole portions of an insulating layer formed to cover the second layer circuit wiring to form external connection terminals. Then, the conductive substrate is removed entirely or partly to expose the first layer circuit wiring.

  • Patent number: 7115818
    Abstract: Metal foil is laminated via an insulating layer so as to cover the first layer circuit wiring formed on a conductive substrate, and a resist layer is formed so as to cover the second layer circuit wiring formed by pattern-etching the metal foil. Using the conductive substrate as a power feeding layer, a conductive material is filled, by electrolytic plating, in interlayer via holes each formed by applying a laser beam to the resist layer, thereby to establish interlayer connection between the first layer circuit wiring and the second layer circuit wiring. Subsequently, the resist layer is removed, and then, using the conductive substrate as a power feeding layer, a conductive material is filled, by electrolytic plating, in hole portions of an insulating layer formed so as to cover the second layer circuit wiring, thereby to form external connection terminals.
