Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a method for producing an electrical circuit board comprising the steps of selectively treating a portion of a conductive metal sheet in a pattern substantially corresponding to a predetermined printed circuit configuration and in a manner which renders the pattern portion of the sheet essentially adherent to a resin, placing the treated pattern portion of the sheet in direct contact with a layer of resin on the surface of an insulating substrate to form an assembly, uniformly heating the assembly to an elevated temperature to selectively bond the substrate to the treated pattern portion of the sheet, cutting the sheet along the perimeter of the pattern portions and stripping the non-pattern portions of the sheet from the substrate to form a circuit board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A circuit board assembly comprising; a sheet of electrically conductive metal having a portion of the surface thereof containing a selectively roughened pattern in the configuration of a pre-determined electrically conductive circuit, said selectively roughened pattern being honed such that no metal is added to and substantially no metal is taken away from said surface of said sheet; and a resin coated substrate bonded to said sheet of electrically conductive metal by the application of heat and pressure to the assembly, said resin coated substrate being essentially directly adherent to the roughened patterned portion of the surface of said sheet of electrically conductive metal and substantially nonadherent to the non-roughened portion of the surface of said sheet of electrically conductive metal whereby the non-roughened portion of the surface of said sheet of electrically conductive metal may be cut and removed from said resin coated substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A circuit board assembly comprising; a sheet of electrically conductive metal having a portion of the surface thereof containing a selectively roughened pattern in the configuration of a pre-determined electrically conductive circuit, said selectively roughened pattern being honed such that no metal is added to and substantially no metal is taken away from said surface of said sheet; and a resin coated substrate bonded to said sheet of electrically conductive metal by the application of heat and pressure to the assembly, said resin coated substrate being essentially directly adherent to the roughened patterned portion of the surface of said sheet of electrically conductive metal and substantially nonadherent to the non-roughened portion of the surface of said sheet of electrically conductive metal whereby the non-roughened portion of the surface of said sheet of electrically conductive metal may be cut and removed from said resin coated substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A circuit board assembly according to claim 1 further including a layer of release agent comprising a liquid wax selectively applied to the non-pattern areas whereby the substrate substantially will not adhere to the non-pattern areas.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A Circuit Board Assembly according to claim 1 further including a layer of release agent comprising a fluorocarbon resin selectively applied to the non-pattern areas whereby the substrate substantially will not adhere to the non-pattern areas.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
An article according to claim 1 in which the metal is copper and the substrate is a thermoset epoxy-impregnated fiberglass fabric material.
