Metal-clad laminate sheet manufacturing method, and metal-clad laminate sheet using the same
A method for manufacturing a metal-clad laminate sheet including forming a laminate sheet having the thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film and the metal foil bonded together; and providing the laminate sheet with a heat treatment which satisfies conditions (1) and (2) below: (1) a heat treatment temperature ranges between 1° C. inclusive and 50° C. exclusive higher than a melting point of the thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film. (2) a time for the heat treatment ranges from one second to 10 minutes.
1. A metal-clad laminate sheet, comprising:
a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film; and
a metal foil bonded to at least one surface of the thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film, wherein a surface of the metal foil bonded to the at least one surface of the thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film has a surface roughness of less than 2.0 μm,
wherein the thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film is provided with a skin layer on the at least one surface, and
the skin layer has a thickness less than or equal to the surface roughness of the metal foil.
2. The metal-clad laminate sheet of claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film has a coefficient of thermal expansion ranging from 10 ppm/° C. to 30 ppm/° C., and a dimensional variation of not over ±0.1%.
3. The metal-clad laminate sheet of claim 1 , wherein the surface roughness of the metal foil is 1.1 μm or less.
4. The metal-clad laminate sheet of claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film has a thickness ranging from 20 μm to 500 μm.
