PROCESS FOR MAKING ENCAPSULATED CIRCUIT BOARDS AND PRODUCTS MADE THEREBY

摘要

A process is described for fabricating an encapsulated circuit board. The process involves use of an adhesive which is photochemically curable to a limited preselected depth so as to rigidly fix the circuit wires in X and Y directions while permitting limited pliability of the adhesive and hence mobility of the wires in the Z direction. The adhesive preferably is one which is also thermally curable so that at a later stage of fabrication (e.g., either as a part of or after lamination of individual circuit boards into a multilayered circuit board), the complete unit may be thermally bulk cured to rigidly fix all wires in the Z direction.
