ON A ROLL: NEW MANUFACTURING PROCESSES INSPIRED BY FLEX

摘要

Flexible printed circuits are invaluable for a wide range of applications, but producing these ultrathin, flexible, and fragile interconnects comes with many challenges. Extra care must be taken throughout the production process to ensure that the technology benefits that these circuits enable aren't compromised by low yield rates and manufacturing inefficiencies that ultimately drive up the cost of end devices. Leveraging highly efficient R2R processing with advanced AOI, direct imaging, and UV laser drilling capabilities is providing designers with many more options for creating cutting-edge electronics in the smallest form factors, and even in shapes yet to be imagined.
