The methods include shaping a metal foil and adhering the metal foil to a flexible backsheet. An optional interlayer dielectric and anti-tarnish material may then be applied to the upper surface of the shaped metal foil disposed on the flexible backsheet. The metal foil may be shaped using die cutting, roller cutting, or laser cutting techniques. The die cutting, roller cutting, and laser cutting techniques simplify the flexible substrate formation processes by eliminating resist-printing and etching steps previously used to pattern metal foils. Additionally, the die cutting, roller cutting, and laser cutting techniques reduce the consumption of consumable materials previously used in the patterning of metal foils.

  • Patent number: 8222537
    Abstract: Systems and methods for simultaneously partitioning a plurality of via structures into electrically isolated portions by using plating resist within a PCB stackup are disclosed. Such via structures are made by selectively depositing plating resist in one or more locations in a sub-composite structure. A plurality of sub-composite structures with plating resist deposited in varying locations are laminated to form a PCB stackup of a desired PCB design. Through-holes are drilled through the PCB stackup through conductive layers, dielectric layers and through the plating resist. Thus, the PCB panel has multiple through-holes that can then be plated simultaneously by placing the PCB panel into a seed bath, followed by immersion in an electroless copper bath. Such partitioned vias increase wiring density and limit stub formation in via structures. Such partitioned vias allow a plurality of electrical signals to traverse each electrically isolated portion without interference from each other.
