Abstract

A rigid-flexible circuit board is fabricated by providing a core having a dielectric substrate and conductive layer thereon. A sub-composite comprising a polyimide and rigid dielectric substrate adjacent the conductive layer and in both the rigid and flexible segments of the board is provided. A release layer corresponding to the flexible segment of the board is provided. A rigid bonding layer is provided at rigid segments of the board but not at the flexible segments. A composite is formed by providing a second conductive layer adjacent the rigid bonding layer. The composite is laminated. Portions of the second conductive layer corresponding to the flexible segment and release layer are removed.
