A reel-to-reel method to laser-ablate a circuitry pattern on the fly in a reel-to-reel machine as part of a process to fabricate a printed flexible circuit. The laser ablation method includes using an appropriate laser to irradiate a metal sheet thus ablating the edges of an intended circuitry pattern. Slugs can be removed by using an optional sacrificial liner, and the slugs can be optionally ablated into smaller parts first. The laser ablation can also include an optional method of creating tie bars to provide structural support to the web of circuitry patterns.

A method for manufacturing a PCB with an embedded thermal conductor and a PCB are provided. A sheet of copper-clad ceramic serves as a thermal conductor. A sheet of copper foil having no opening serves as an outer layer of a laminate. A part of the sheet of copper foil covering the thermal conductor is removed after a lamination process, to expose a conductive layer as the outer layer of the thermal conductor. Finally, the outer layer pattern is formed. The sheet of copper foil has no opening before the lamination process, so that the sheet of copper foil has good flatness during the lamination process, thereby avoiding wrinkles. Moreover, the sheet of copper-clad ceramic serves as the thermal conductor, so that a pattern is manufactured on the outer layer of the thermal conductor based on the exposed conductive layer.
