Various LCP Based Circuit Constructions and Fabrication Techniques

摘要

This paper will discuss a variety of circuit constructions that have been built using LCP (Liquid Crystalline Polymer) as the circuit material. The benefits of LCP in certain circuit constructions and applications will be discussed briefly. The fabrication techniques to build LCP based circuits will be discussed in more detail. The circuit constructions to be addressed will be single sided, double sided, multilayer and rigid-flex using LCP materials. There will also be some discussion on Hybrid LCP circuits, using LCP with a combination of other circuit materials to either enhance electrical properties or make a more robust fabrication model.
