Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a printed-wiring board is disclosed. The process involves providing a metal carried support surface and forming a resist pattern on the metal surface comprised of a silicone rubber material. The support surface where there is not resist is metal plated to provide metal plated surface portions which are contact bonded to a insulating base material by interposing an adhesive between the insulating base material and the metal surface portions or contact bonded to an uncured base material having an adhesive force. The contact bonding is carried out in order to transfer the metal surface portions onto the base material thus forming the conductor pattern on the base material and producing the printing-wiring board. The process eliminates the loss of expensive copper foil and provides a method by which the base material can be securely bonded to the metal portions forming the printed-wiring board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A process for producing a printedwiring board, comprising the steps of: providing a carrier support surface comprised of a metal; forming a resist pattern on the metal surface, the resist pattern being formed of a composition containing 50% or more of a silicone rubber having rubbery elasticity and a Young's modulus of up to 10 3 dyn/cm 2 , a tensile strength of 20 to 200 kg/cm 2 , and an elongation of 100 to 500%: metal plating the metal surface where there is no resist to provide metal plated surface portions; contact bonding the metal plated surface portions to an insulating base material; and transferring the metal plated surface portions onto the insulating base material, thus forming a conductor pattern on the insulating base material and forming the printed-wiring board.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
