- Referring to the drawings attached, the present invention will be described by means of the embodiments below.
- FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a process for massively producing tape type flexible printed circuits of the present invention. A flexible insulation tape in the flowing procedures is shown from FIG. 2 to FIG. 8.
- As shown in FIG. 1, the process for massively producing tape type flexible printed circuits of the present invention comprises: step (a) of “providing a flexible insulation tape”, step (b) of “sequentially pressing a copper foil and a dry film”, step (c) of “developing the dry film”, step (d) of “etching the copper foil”, step (e) of “sequentially attaching cover films”, step (f) of “surface treating”, step (g) of “punching to form sprocket holes and cutting the flexible insulation tape”, and step (h) of “electrically testing”.
- As shown in FIG. 2 in the step (a) of “providing a flexible insulation tape”, a
flexible insulation tape 20 that is reeled in areel 11 is prepared. Theflexible insulation tape 20 is made of polyimide (PI), Polyether (that is polyethylene terephalate (PET)), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), or Teflon. In this embodiment theflexible insulation tape 20 is a polyimide film and has a thickness about 10˜75 μm, usually it is 25 μm approximately. - The step (b) of “sequentially pressing a copper foil and a dry film” is shown in FIG. 3a and 3 b. As shown in FIG. 3a, at first the
flexible insulation tape 20 is reeled out from areel 11 and reeled in anotherreel 11. Thecopper foil 30 is also reeled out from a reel, then sequentially pressed on theflexible insulation tape 20 by alaminator 12 between tworeels 11 so that theflexible insulation tape 20 withcopper foil 30 is reeled in anotherreel 11. The thickness of thecopper foil 30 is about 5˜40 μm, usually it is 18 μm approximately. Thereafter as shown in FIG. 3b, theflexible insulation tape 20 withcopper foil 30 is reeled out from areel 11 again and sequentially presses adry film 40 by alaminator 12. Thedry film 40 is a kind of photoimagible film such as positive photoresist or negative photoresist. Theflexible insulation tape 20 withcopper foil 30 anddry film 40 is reeled in areel 11 after pressing step (b). During pressing, it is better to set a plurality of firststandard points 21 at theflexible insulation tape 20, such as punching through holes, for positioning theflexible insulation tape 20 in following steps. In another embodiment, theflexible insulation tape 20 withcopper foil 30 may be provided directly from supplier, it is only needed to press thedry film 40 during the pressing step (b). - In the step (c) of “developing the dry film”, as shown in FIG. 4, according to the first
standard points 21 theflexible insulation tape 20 is reeled out to a suitable location and length, then thedry film 40 is developed to form a patterneddry film 41. Due to the firststandard points 21 for positioning, the step (c) is executed repeatedly so that there is a fixed interval between each developed portion and adjacent developed portion on theflexible insulation tape 20 and each developed portion is one by one and neatly arranged without declination. - As shown in FIG. 5, in the step (d) of “etching the copper foil”, the
flexible insulation tape 20 with patterneddry film 41 is reeled out and etched. By means of copper chloride etching liquid, the portions uncovered by the patterneddry film 41 are etched to make thecopper foil 30form metal traces 31 for electrical connection. Thereafter, the patterneddry film 41 is removed by alkaline liquid for exposing themetal traces 31. Then theflexible insulation tape 20 is reeled inreel 11 after backing and setting a plurality of secondstandard points 22. - As shown in FIG. 6, in the step (e) of “sequentially attaching cover films”, the
flexible insulation tape 20 withmetal traces 31 is reeled out and a plurality ofcover films 50 are sequentially attached on theflexible insulation tape 20 with determined pressure. Thecover films 50 are made of insulation materials such as polyimide, polyester, PEN, or LCP and have a thickness about 10˜75 μm, usually it is 25 μm approximately. Thecover films 50 havehollow portions 53 andstandard holes 52 in advance. During attaching thestandard holes 52 of thecover films 50 are pointed to the secondstandard points 22 offlexible insulation tape 20, thecover films 50 are combined to become acover layer 51 on theflexible insulation tape 20 for protecting themetal traces 31 and exposing connection terminals of themetal traces 31. Alternatively, thecover layer 51 also can be a solder mask formed by mask printing or mask spraying, wherein the solder mask is a liquid photoimagible solder mask. Executing a developing step for the solder mask is necessary to formhollows portions 53 of thecover layer 51. - As shown in FIG. 7, in the step (f) of “surface treating”, the treatments of electroplating, tin paste printing, heat resistance, and anti-rust are executed on the
flexible insulation tape 20 withcover layer 51 to make the exposed ends ofmetal traces 31 form anelectroplating layer 32 or protruding electrodes, etc. Theelectroplating layer 32 is formed by non-electrolysis electroplating, gold electroplating, or tin-lead electroplating method. Also theflexible insulation tape 20 is reeled in areel 11 after completing the step (f) of “surface treating”. Preferably, from step (b) to step (f) are repeated until enough layers of the metal traces are formed on theflexible insulation tape 20. - The step (g) of “punching to form sprocket holes and cutting the flexible insulation tape” is shown in FIG. 8. The
flexible insulation tape 20 passing the step (f) of surface treating is reeled out and punched to form a plurality of sprocket holes 61 which arrange on a plurality of parallel lines at even number. In this embodiment, theflexible insulation tape 20 is wide enough to arrange three rows of tape type flexible printedcircuits 62. The sprocket holes 61 are formed at the two sides of each row of the tape type flexible printedcircuits 62. Then, theflexible insulation tape 20 is cut alongparallel lines 23 parallel to where the sprocket holes 61 arrange on by cutting or punching method, so that theflexible insulation tape 20 is divided to several narrowflexible circuit tapes 60 and reeled in thereels 13. Besides, eachflexible circuit tape 60 has a plurality of tape type flexible printedcircuits 62 with two rows of sprocket holes 61. After theflexible circuit tapes 60 are formed, it is preferable to execute step (h) of “electrically testing” for testing theflexible circuit tapes 60 and marking the defective tape type flexible printedcircuits 62. Usually marking holes are formed on/around the defective tape type flexible printedcircuits 62 for distinction without separating or getting rid of defectives. Finally, the known-good completed tape type flexible printedcircuits 62 and the marked defectives are reeled in thereels 13. - According to the process for massively producing tape type flexible printed circuits mentioned above, several winds of
flexible circuit tapes 60 with single-layer circuits can be manufactured simultaneously. The cross-sectional structure of tape type flexible printedcircuits 62 is shown as FIG. 9. The process is not only to provide a massive production of tape type flexible printedcircuits 62, but also can manufacture various width offlexible circuit tapes 60 having tape type flexible printed circuits (such as 35 mm, 48 mm, 70 mm for width) by means of a same set of producing equipment only. When a wider or narrower tape type flexible printedcircuits 62 are going to be manufactured, aflexible insulation tape 20 having a width about 250 mm is provided to execute the step (b) of “sequentially pressing a copper foil and a dry film”, the step (c) of “developing the dry film”, the step (d) of “etching the copper foil”, the step (e) of “sequentially attaching cover films”, and the step (f) of “surface treating”, etc. Next in the step (g) of “punching to form sprocket holes and cutting the flexible insulation tape”, the cutting paths should be changed to form the flexible circuit tapes with appropriate width. (for example, a provided flexible insulation tape having a thickness about 250 mm can be divided to 3 reels for width 70 mm, 4 reels for width 48 mm or 5 reels for width 35 mm of flexible circuit tapes 60). Therefore, the present invention can massively manufacture various kinds of standard width of tape type flexible printedcircuits 62 by a same set of producing equipment so as to reach the effects of massive production and elastical manufacture. Besides, completedflexible circuit tapes 60 are reeled inreels 13 not only to keep the packaging cost low but also to provide customers an automatic assembly. - As shown in FIG. 9 in accordance with the process for massively producing tape type flexible printed
circuits 62 mentioned above, completed tape type flexible printedcircuits 62 includes a flexibleinsulated layer 64 which is made of polyimide, polyester, polyethylene naphthalate, liquid crystal polymer, or Teflon. The flexibleinsulated layer 64 has a thickness about 10˜75 μm, also a plurality of metal traces 31 and acover layer 51 are formed thereon (for example, adhesive 63 adhering copper foil, or a copper foil is directly pressed on the flexibleinsulated layer 64 with non-solidifying condition). Themetal layer 31 has a thickness about 5˜40 μm and the thickness of thecover layer 51 is 10˜75 μm approximately, so the entire thickness of tape type flexible printedcircuits 62 is thinner than 0.2 mm. The metal traces 31 haveelectroplating layers 32 or protruding electrodes at thehollow portion 53 ofprotective layer 51. Therefore, the tape typeflexible circuits board 62 that can be massively produced is extremely suitable for electrically connecting, such as connecting display panel and printed circuit board, and widely applied to LCD display, notebook computer, PDA and cell telephone, etc, even being chip carrier of semiconductor package. - Besides, according to the process for massively producing tape type flexible printed circuits of the present invention, the step (b) of “sequentially pressing a copper foil and a dry film”, the step (c) of “developing the dry film”, the step (d) of “etching the copper foil”, the step (e) of “sequentially attaching cover films”, and the step (f) of “surface treating” are repeatedly executed until enough layers of metal traces31 are formed on the
flexible insulation tape 20. Thereafter, several winds of flexible circuit tapes with multi-layer circuit structure may be manufactured after completing the step (g) of “punching to form sprocket holes and cutting the flexible insulation tape” and the step (h) of “electrically testing”. - The above description of embodiments of this invention is intended to be illustrated and not limiting. Other embodiments of this invention will be obvious to those skilled in the art in view of the above disclosure.
