There is provided a copper foil provided with a carrier exhibiting a high peeling resistance against the developer in the photoresist developing process and achieving high stability of mechanical peel strength of the carrier. The copper foil provided with a carrier comprises a carrier; an interlayer disposed on the carrier, the interlayer having a first surface adjacent to the carrier and containing 1.0 atom % or more of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ti, Cr, Mo, Mn, W and Ni and a second surface remote from the carrier and containing 30 atom % or more of Cu; a release layer disposed on the interlayer; and an extremely-thin copper layer disposed on the release layer.

The invention relates to an electrically conductive film (10) having an electrically nonconductive substrate layer (12), and an electrically conductive metal layer (14) that has a structure produced by material removal and that on a first side is joined, at least in sections, to the substrate layer (12).

Multilayer articles that include electrical circuits are prepared by the adhesive transfer of electrical circuit elements to the surface of an adhesive. A number of different methodologies are used, with all of the methodologies including the use of simple layers of circuit-forming material on a releasing substrate and structuring to generate circuit elements which can be transferred to an adhesive surface. In some methodologies, a structured releasing substrate is used to selectively transfer circuit-forming material, either from protrusions on the releasing substrate or from depressions on the releasing substrate. In other methodologies, an unstructured releasing substrate is used and either embossed to form a structured releasing substrate or contacted with a structured adhesive layer to selectively transfer circuit-forming material.

Disclosed is a cavity forming method for a printed circuit board. The method includes: stacking a plurality of substrates to form a stacked structure, each substrate including a prepreg and a copper clad circuit formed on a surface of the prepreg; attaching a release film to an outer surface of the stacked structure; demarcating a cavity region by forming a cutting line in the release film and the underlying prepreg; and removing the released film and the underlying prepreg inside the demarcated cavity region, thereby forming a cavity. The method is advantageous in terms of easy processing, mass production, and low manufacturing cost for printed circuit boards. Further, a cavity having an exactly same size as an actually required size can be designed for a printed circuit board, and it is possible to prevent an adhesive component from seeping out into a cavity from prepregs during formation of the cavity.

Electrically conductive patterns formed on a substrate are provided with a reduced visibility. A region of a major surface of the substrate is selectively roughened to form a roughened pattern on the major surface of the substrate. Electrically conductive traces are directly formed on the roughened region and are conformal with the roughened pattern on the major surface of the substrate.

A circuit component decal comprising a transparent sheet and an opaque circuit pattern. The transparent sheet includes opposing top and bottom surfaces and a number of edges. The opaque circuit pattern includes an electronic component footprint and a number of circuit lead paths. The electronic component footprint includes a number of contact points representing the location of leads of the electronic component. The circuit lead paths extend from the contact points to the edges of the transparent sheet. The opaque circuit pattern corresponds to only a section of a complete circuit pattern and is configured to block energy from reaching a first portion of the intermediate substrate when the transparent sheet is positioned on the intermediate substrate so as to form the section of the complete circuit pattern.

Disclosed are apparatus and methods for embedded high voltage transformer components. Industrial applications require transformers that provide high voltage isolation. The laminate materials used for fabricating Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) are very good insulators and PCB transformers can provide higher voltage isolation than traditional wire wound devices. There are a variety of PCB laminate materials with different properties for voltage breakdown. FR-4 laminate is commonly used and has voltage breakdown properties exceeding 10 kV/mm. To produce PCB transformers with breakdown voltages exceeding 5 kV, it is beneficial to use laminate with much higher breakdown voltages. Generally, the materials with high breakdown voltage cost more. High voltage isolation can be achieved at a moderate cost by mixing low cost FR-4 laminate with high voltage dielectric materials.

The present disclosure relates to a driving substrate, a manufacturing method, and a micro-LED array substrate light-emitting backlight module. The driving substrate includes a first metal layer, a first high-reflection layer, and a second metal layer stacked in a top-down sequence. The driving substrate, the manufacturing method, and the micro-LED array light emitting backlight module of the present disclosure solve the loss of reflectivity issue caused by the edge forbidden area of the electrode welding pad edge forbidden region. At the same time, the limited reflectivity of traditional coated high-reflective layers (such as white oil) may also be enhanced.
