A manufacturing method for circuit board on copper ceramic substrate comprises stamping a copper sheet into a copper circuit board in a shape matching a ceramic substrate, fitting the copper circuit board to the ceramic substrate and sintering the copper circuit board and the ceramic substrate together by direct bonding copper.

The present invention relates to methods of treating metal surfaces to enhance adhesion or binding to substrates, and devices formed thereby. In some embodiments of the present invention, methods of achieving improved bonding strength without roughening the topography of a metal surface are provided. The metal surface obtained by this method provides strong bonding to resin layers. The bonding interface between the treated metal and the resin layer exhibits resistance to heat, moisture, and chemicals involved in post-lamination process steps, and therefore can suitably be used in the production of PCB's. Methods according to some embodiments of the present invention are especially useful in the fabrication of high density multilayer PCB's, in particular for PCB's having circuits with line/spacing of equal to and less than 10 microns. Methods according to other embodiments of the present invention are particularly useful in the coating of metal surfaces in a wide variety of applications.

The present invention relates to a method for increasing adhesion strength between a surface of a copper, a copper alloy or a copper oxide and a surface of an organic material.

A transparent circuit board includes a conductive wiring, a transparent insulating layer, and a cover film stacked on the transparent insulating layer. The conductive wiring penetrates the transparent insulating layer along the stacking direction, and is at least partially embedded in the conductive wiring. A blackened layer is formed on a surface of the conductive wiring combined with the cover film, a carbon black layer is formed on a surface of the conductive wiring without the blackened layer, thereby improving a light transmittance of the transparent circuit board.

There is provided a roughened copper foil which can significantly improve adhesion to an insulating resin and reliability (e.g., hygroscopic heat resistance). The roughened copper foil of the present invention has at least one roughened surface having fine irregularities composed of acicular crystals, wherein the entire surface of the acicular crystals is composed of a mixed phase of Cu metal and Cu.sub.2O.

There is provided a method of producing a copper clad laminate having a copper foil and a resin bonded at high adhesive force despite the use of a thermoplastic resin having a low dielectric constant. This method includes the steps of: providing a roughened copper foil having at least one roughened surface having fine irregularities composed of acicular crystals containing cupric oxide and cuprous oxide; and bonding a sheet-shaped thermoplastic resin to the roughened surface of the roughened copper foil to provide a copper clad laminate. The roughened surface has a cupric oxide thickness of 1 to 20 nm and a cuprous oxide thickness of 15 to 70 nm, both determined by sequential electrochemical reduction analysis (SERA) at the time of bonding the thermoplastic resin.

An object of the present invention is to improve the laser drilling performance of a copper clad laminate whose black-oxide treated surface is used as a laser drilled surface. To achieve the object, a copper foil provided with a carrier foil 1 comprising a layer structure of the carrier foil 2/the releasing layer 3/the bulk copper layer 4 characterized in that metal element-containing particles 5 are disposed between the releasing layer 3 and the bulk copper layer 4 is employed. If the present copper foil provided with a carrier foil is used, a black-oxide treated layer having a color tone excellent in the laser drilling performance can be formed on the surface of the bulk copper layer in the copper clad laminate manufactured.

High-speed interconnects for printed circuit boards and methods for forming the high-speed interconnects are described. A high-speed interconnect may comprise a region of a conductive film having a reduced surface roughness and one or more regions that have been treated for improved bonding with an adjacent insulating layer. Regions of reduced roughness may be used to carry high data rate signals within PCBs. Regions treated for bonding may include a roughened surface, adhesion-promoting chemical treatment, and/or material deposited to improve wettability of the surface and/or adhesion to a cured insulator.

A circuit board with conductive wiring which is precisely shaped and sized includes a two-part conductive element, namely a first conductive wiring layer and a second conductive wiring layer. The first conductive wiring layer and the second conductive wiring layer are in direct contact to each other. A projection of the first conductive wiring layer along a direction perpendicular to the circuit board and a projection of the second conductive wiring layer totally cover each other.
