Abstract

Abstract A method of producing a metal laminate for a circuit board includes a first step of press-bonding a thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film 1 having a segment orientation ratio SOR within a range not smaller than 0.90 and smaller than 1.15 along the longitudinal direction of the film, to a metal sheet 3 between hot rolls while the thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film 1 is in a tense or non-tense state; and a second step of heating the laminate obtained in the first step to a temperature not lower than the melting point of the thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 139 words
A method of producing a metal laminate for a circuit board, the metal laminate having a metal sheet bonded to at least one surface of a film made of a thermotropic polymer capable of forming an optically anisotropic melt phase (which fun is hereinafter referred to as a thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film), the method comprising: a first step of press-bonding a thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film having a segment orientation ratio SOR within a range not smaller than 1.03 and smaller than 1.15 along a longitudinal direction of the film, to said metal sheet between hot rolls while said thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film is in a tense state; and a second step of heating the laminate obtained in the first step to a temperature not lower than a melting point of the thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 117 words
A method of producing a metal laminate for a circuit board, the metal laminate having a metal sheet bonded to at least one surface of a thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film, the method comprising: a first step of press-bonding a thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film having a segment orientation ratio SOR within a range not smaller than 0.90 and smaller than 1.03 along a longitudinal direction of the film, to said metal sheet between hot rolls while said thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film is in a non-tense state; and a second step of heating the laminate obtained in the first step to a temperature not lower than a melting point of the thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
The method of producing the metal laminate for the circuit board as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the metal laminate is a single-sided metal laminate having the metal sheet bonded to one surface of the thermotropic liquid crystal polymer film.
