Flexible Printed Circuit

Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) is a highly reliable and excellent flexible printed circuit board made of polyimide or polyester film. FPC is favored for its light weight, thin thickness, and flexibility to bend and fold. It is widely used in automotive, medical, industrial control, communication, wearable, consumer electronics and other fields.

Rigid-Flex Board

Rigid-Flex Board is a circuit board made of a combination of rigid and flexible board. The rigid area can be assembled with components, and the flexible area can be bent and connected to reduce the trouble of joints and the volume requirements of densely assembled products, while increasing the reliability of interconnection.

Metallized hole filling & resin hole filling process;

Impedance control;

Finished copper thickness: 1/3 ounce to 2 ounces (12um~70um);

Substrate-like PCB

Substrate-like PCB (SLP) is the next generation circuit board, which can shorten the line width/spacing from HDI's 40/40 microns to 30/30 microns. Our Modified Semi-Additive Process (mSAP) is based on how to overcome the problems of subtractive and additive methods in the production of fine line circuits. The mSAP process performs chemical copper on the substrate and forms a resist pattern on it. The pattern on the substrate is thickened by a sputtering process to remove the resist pattern, and then the excess chemical copper layer is removed by flash etching. The area of the film protection that is not thickened by electroplating is quickly removed during the differential etching process, and the remaining part forms a circuit.
