Abstract

Method of forming a flexible circuit laminate for use in the production of flexible circuits, comprising the steps of electrodepositing a continuous layer of copper on a first side of a generally continuous strip of polyimide having a layer of metal on the first side, modifying a second side of the polyimide strip to increase the surface energy thereof, applying a preformed adhesive film on the second side of the generally continuous strip of polyimide, the adhesive strip being formed of a substantially uncured polymeric material, and curing the adhesive film wherein at least the outmost layer of the adhesive film is only partially cured.
