Abstract

A manufacturing process of an emboss type flexible or rigid printed circuit board includes multiple steps. First, a layer of dry film is applied to a layer of copper foil. Then a circuit pattern is formed on the copper foil through photolithography processes. An etching stop layer is electroplated on the circuit pattern. The etching stop layer is then electroplated with copper. The copper foil is softened by a high temperature process after removing the dry film. Then the layer of the copper foil is etched after coating with an organic surface layer and the organic surface layer is solidified.
