New fabrication technology of polymer/metal lamination and its application in electronic packaging

A new fabrication technology for lamination between LCP (liquid crystalline polymer)and copper is presented. The method is based on a surface activation process prior to the clad bonding process. The fabrication conditions and the microstructure of the bonded interface as well as the mechanism of the bonding are discussed with respect to various experimental results. Some practical applications of the new clad materials in electronic packaging are also presented.
