Abstract

A component for use in manufacturing printed circuits that in a finished printed circuit constitutes a functional element. The component is comprised of a film substrate formed of a first polymeric material having a first side and a second side. At least one layer of a tiecoat metal is applied to the first side of the film substrate. At least one layer of copper on the at least one layer of a tiecoat metal, the layer of copper having an essentially uncontaminated exposed surface facing away from the at least one layer of tiecoat metal. A plurality of spaced apart, adhesion promoting areas of a tiecoat metal are provided on the second side of the film substrate defining regions of exposed polymeric material on the second side of the film substrate.
