The invention provides a manufacturing method for flexible printed circuit board, by liquefying the flexible insulating material and the metal material, coating the liquefied materials and solidifying the coated layers to form respectively the flexible insulating layer and the anti-EMI layer of the anti-EMI structure. As such, an adhesive layer is eliminated to achieve reducing the thickness of the flexible insulating layer and the anti-EMI layer and the material consumption, resulting in reduced production cost, reduced thickness of the flexible printed circuit board with anti-EMI structure, and improved quality.

A manufacturing method for a printed circuit board includes: transferring roughness of a metal film to an insulating layer by laminating the metal film on the insulating layer, the metal film having the roughness formed on one surface thereof and having a discrete metal layer laminated thereon; exposing a surface of the insulating layer, on which the roughness is transferred, by removing the metal film; processing the surface of the insulating layer having the roughness formed thereon with an acidic solution; and forming a circuit pattern on the insulating layer by a plating process.

A process of improving resistance to conductive anodic filament (CAF) formation is disclosed. The process includes dissolving a base resin material, a lubricant material, and a coupling agent in a solvent to form a functionalized sizing agent solution. The process also includes applying the functionalized sizing agent solution to individual glass fibers following a glass fiber formation process. The process further includes removing the solvent via a thermal process that partially converts the base resin material. The thermal process results in formation of coated glass fibers having a flowable resin coating that is compatible with a pre-impregnated (prepreg) matrix material utilized to form a prepreg material for manufacturing a printed circuit board. During one or more printed circuit board manufacturing operations, the flowable resin coating flows to fill voids between the individual glass fibers that represent CAF formation pathways.

In particular, the improved substrates relate to polymer films and electrical conductors printed on them. Application of a thin polymeric coating to the polymer film provides the improved performance of the printed conductors.

A method includes the following steps: S1, providing the insulating layer having an inclined face; S4, disposing a photomask so that in the photoresist, first and second exposure portions are exposed to light, and exposing the photoresist is to light through the photomask; S5, removing the first and the second exposure portions of the photoresist. On the assumption that in S4, light reflected at the metal thin film is focused between the first and the second exposure portions of the photoresist, the inclined face has a bending portion bending in one direction, the portion removed in S5 in the photoresist due to light focus being continuous with the first and the second exposure portions. The second exposure portion includes continuously an avoidance portion that avoids the bending portion and an overlapping portion that overlaps with at least a portion other than the bending portion in the inclined face.
