Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
A process for manufacturing a copper-clad laminate which includes a rolled copper foil as a circuit conductive material, comprising the steps of: preparing a tank filled with an electrolyte in which two parallel electrodes are disposed; introducing a rolled copper foil through a power supply/guide roller into said electrolyte so as to pass between said two electrodes under current supply from a power source to said electrodes and said power supply/guide roller to form an etched layer on surfaces of said rolled copper foil; applying an adhesive on the etched layer of said rolled copper foil; and then pressing said rolled copper foil with a substrate made of a synthetic resin impregnated substrate put together to form a copper-clad laminate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
A process for manufacturing a copper-clad laminate which includes a rolled copper foil as a circuit conductive material, comprising the steps of: preparing a tank filled with an electrolyte in which two parallel electrodes are disposed; introducing a rolled copper foil through a power supply/guide roller into said electrolyte so as to pass between said two electrodes under current supply from a power source to said electrodes and said power supply/guide roller to form an etched layer on surfaces of said rolled copper foil; applying an adhesive on the etched layer of said rolled copper foil; and then pressing said rolled copper foil with a substrate made of a synthetic resin impregnated substrate put together to form a copper-clad laminate.
