Coverlay film, method for manufacturing coverlay film, and flexible printed wiring board
Provided are: a cover-lay film which has an electromagnetic wave shielding function and excellent flexibility, enables a reduction in the thickness of a flexible printed wiring board, and eliminates the necessity of connecting a layer for shielding electromagnetic noise, to the ground circuit of the flexible printed wiring board; a method for manufacturing the same; and a flexible printed wiring board. Employed is a cover-lay film including: a base material film which has a roughened surface (textured surface) created on at least a part of one surface, and an unroughened surface (non-textured surface) excluding the roughened surface; and a deposition film made of a conductive material which is formed on a surface of the base material film on the side where the roughened surface has been created.
1. A cover-lay film comprising: a base material film comprising a resin or a rubber elastic body, the base material film having a textured surface created on at least a part of one surface of the base material film, and a non-textured surface on the one surface excluding the part where the textured surface is created, the base material film having a thickness of 3 to 25 μm, and the textured surface having an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.3 to 3 μm and a size of 0.1 to 40 mm 2 ; and a deposition film made of a conductive material which is formed on the one surface of said base material film on a side where said textured surface has been created, wherein a portion of the deposition film formed on said non-textured surface exhibits a surface resistance R 1 of from 0.0 to 5Ω, and a portion of the deposition film formed on said textured surface exhibits a surface resistance R 2 of two to one hundred times greater than the surface resistance R 1 .
2. The cover-lay film according to claim 1 , wherein said textured surface is repeatedly created at intervals.
3. The cover-lay film according to claim 1 , further comprising a protective layer provided on a surface of said deposition film.
4. The cover-lay film according to claim 1 , further comprising an insulation adhesive layer provided on an outermost layer of the cover-lay film.
5. A method of manufacturing a cover-lay film comprising the following Step (I) and Step (II):
(I) a step of creating a textured surface on at least a part of one surface of a base material film comprising a resin or a rubber elastic body, so as to leave a non-textured surface on the one surface excluding the part where the textured surface is created, the base material film having a thickness of 3 to 25 μm, and the textured surface having an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.3 to 3 μm and a size of 0.1 to 40 mm 2 ; and
(II) a step of forming a deposition film made of a conductive material by physical vapor deposition of a metal on the one surface of said base material film on a side where said textured surface has been created,
wherein a portion of the deposition film formed on said non-textured surface exhibits a surface resistance R 1 of from 0.01 to 5Ω, and
a portion of the deposition film formed on said textured surface exhibits a surface resistance R 2 of two to one hundred times greater than the surface resistance R 1 .
6. A flexible printed wiring board comprising:
a flexible printed wiring board main body in which a wiring conductor is formed on an insulation film; and
the cover-lay film according claim 1 which is pasted on said flexible printed wiring board main body.
7. The cover-lay film according to claim 2 , further comprising a protective layer provided on a surface of said deposition film.
8. The cover-lay film according to claim 2 , further comprising an insulation adhesive layer provided on an outermost layer of the cover-lay film.
9. The cover-lay film according to claim 3 , further comprising an insulation adhesive layer provided on an outermost layer of the cover-lay film.
