In the manufacture method of the present invention, an inner circuit structure is prepared, and a docking pad is formed on the first surface of the inner circuit structure. A release film is mounted on the first surface to cover the docking pad before mounting a build-up circuit structure upon the first surface. The release film and part of the build-up circuit structure above it are removed. The docking pad is therefore exposed and a docking opening is formed in the build-up circuit structure. The docking opening is for mounting a circuit board to be docked to form a circuit board module of the present invention.

Methods for forming electrical circuitries on three-dimensional (3D) structures and devices made using the methods. A method includes forming selectively shaped 3D structures using additive manufacturing. The method includes forming undercuts on upper-level pedestals of the 3D structures that effectively act as overhanging deposition masks for selectively preventing deposition of a selected material on a corresponding portions of lower levels. The method includes simultaneously forming and electrically isolating materials directionally deposited on the 3D structure.

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).

A printed circuit board includes a plurality of layers including attachment layers and routing layers; and columns of via patterns formed in the plurality of layers, wherein via patterns in adjacent columns are offset in a direction of the columns, each of the via patterns comprising: first and second signal vias forming a differential signal pair, the first and second signal vias extending through at least the attachment layers; and at least one conductive shadow via located between the first and second signal vias of the differential pair. In some embodiments, at least one conductive shadow via is electrically connected to a conductive surface film.

A manufacturing method of tape includes the steps of providing a tape including substrate units, providing a die device and a cutting and/or pressing process. Each of the substrate units includes a carrier, a circuit layer, an adhesive and a heat spreader, the heat spreader is attached onto the carrier by the adhesive. In the cutting and/or pressing process, the die device is provided to press the tape to generate separation protrusions on the heat spreader and allow the separation protrusions to protrude from a heat dissipation surface of the heat spreader. When rolling the tape, the separation protrusions can separate the stacked substrate units to prevent the adhesive from being squeezed out to contaminate the tape.

A reel-to-reel lamination method to laminate a metal foil or circuitry pattern on the fly. The method includes applying a UV laminate or thermoset laminate to the metal foil or the circuitry pattern reel to reel, and then apply a UV radiation or heat to the laminate. There can be an optional enclosure connected to a suction source. The enclosure can have a flexible bladder that physically compresses the laminate.

The present invention relates to a printing method comprising a step of printing a pattern on a substrate, preferably by ink jet printing, followed by a gold plating step by means of contact between the pre-printed pattern to be gold plated and a gold plating deposition device, such as a preferably conductive metal sheet, e.g. a multilayer film comprising a preferably conductive metal sheet.
