Low Loss Prepregs, Compositions Useful For The Preparation Thereof And Uses Therefor

View page
US Patent:
7364672, Apr 29, 2008
Filed:
Dec 6, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/006211
Inventors:
Thomas Allan Koes - Riverside CA, US
Ousama Najjar - Rancho Cucamonga CA, US
Assignee:
Arlon, Inc. - Rancho Cucamonga CA
International Classification:
H01B 1/12
C08L 23/08
US Classification:
252500, 525240, 525241, 525238
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, we have developed compositions useful for the preparation of prepregs, laminates, and the like having excellent performance properties. Invention compositions comprise a combination of a first component (i. e. , a low loss, low dielectric constant, hydrocarbyl thermoplastic resin), a second component (i. e. , a component which is capable of crosslinking to produce a thermoset in the presence of the first component), a free radical source, and optionally, one or more additives and/or diluents. Invention compositions can be prepared from widely available and inexpensive starting materials. As a result, invention compositions not only provide fabricated articles having outstanding performance properties, in addition, the cost of producing the resulting articles compares quite favorably with the cost of making competitive materials which require the use of more expensive, less readily available starting materials. Also provided in accordance with the present invention are prepregs prepared from invention compositions, laminated sheets prepared from the above-described prepregs, printed wiring boards, methods of making each of the above, and the like.

US Patent:
8193274, Jun 5, 2012
Filed:
Aug 1, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/184994
Inventors:
Sam Najjar - Yucaipa CA, US
Chenghong Li - Cary NC, US
Thomas Allan Koes - Riverside CA, US
Daniel Chang - Fullerton CA, US
Assignee:
Arlon - Bear DE
International Classification:
C08L 39/04
B32B 27/04
US Classification:
524516, 525193, 4282974, 428500, 264136, 427331
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, compositions are described which are useful, for example, for the preparation of metal-clad laminate structures, methods for the preparation thereof, and various uses therefor. Invention metal-clad laminate structures are useful, for example, multi-layer board (MLB) industry, in the preparation of burn-in test boards and high reliability boards, applications where low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is beneficial, in the preparation of boards used in down-hole drilling, and the like.

High Resolution Positive Acting Dry Film Photoresist

View page
US Patent:
59811358, Nov 9, 1999
Filed:
Aug 13, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/910188
Inventors:
Thomas A. Koes - Riverside CA
Grieg B. Beltramo - Orange CA
Assignee:
Morton International, Inc. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
G03F 7023
US Classification:
430165
Abstract:
A positive acting photoresist composition (e. g. , a monolayer dry film) which is strippable in aqueous alkaline solution comprises a photo acid generator and a UV-transparent resin binder system which allows efficient photo bleaching of the photoactive component. An acid functional cellulosic resin may be the only binder resin, an acidic acrylate resin being optional. The dry coating is flexible and may be used as an etch and plating resist.

Method Of Forming A Multilayer Printed Circuit Board And Product Thereof

View page
US Patent:
57006075, Dec 23, 1997
Filed:
Nov 8, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/748518
Inventors:
James Rath - Orange CA
William Luong-Gia Tran - Garden Grove CA
Kathy M. Flynn - Santa Clarita CA
Vinai Ming Tara - Anaheim CA
Thomas A. Koes - Riverside CA
Vincent J. Nizzo - Tustin CA
Assignee:
Morton International, Inc. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
G03F 7027
US Classification:
430 15
Abstract:
In a process for fabricating a multilayer printed circuit board with permanent innerlayers of photoresist, the photoimageable composition used to form the hard permanent layer comprises a polymerizable acrylate monomer; an oligomer formed by the reaction of an epoxy resin and an acrylic or methacrylic acid; a photosensitive, free radical generating initiator for polymerization of the acrylic monomer and oligomer; a curable epoxy resin; a curing agent for the epoxy resin; and, optionally, a crosslinking agent reactive with hydroxyl groups. After exposure and development of a layer of the photoimageable composition and etching of the underlying metal layer on a board, the resultant photoresist is left on the circuitry traces. The innerlayers of photoresist are stacked in a press where it initially conforms under heat and pressure to fill voids between the innerlayers and then cures to permanence.
