Abstract

A flexible metal foil/polyimide laminate is prepared by applying a polyamic acid varnish onto a very thin copper foil on a carrier, semi-drying the varnish, laminating a polyimide film to the varnish-coated copper foil using a hot roll press, and heat treating the laminate for solvent removal and imidization in an atmosphere having a controlled oxygen concentration. A polyimide adhesive layer resulting from the imidization of polyamic acid has a thickness of up to 6 μm, the sum of the thicknesses of the polyimide film and the polyimide adhesive layer is up to 25 μm. The polyimide adhesive layer has a Tg>400° C.
