A hot press for producing a multilayered substrate including vertically opposing upper and lower bolsters relatively movable toward each other to press multilayered substrate blanks and to cool the plates after the bonding. A sealing arrangement includes a cylinder and encloses the upper and lower bolsters so as to define a hermetically sealed space, with an evacuating arrangement reducing the pressure inside the hermetically sealed space during heating and pressing in which a bonding agent in the multilayered substrate blanks is softened. A high-pressure gas supplying arrangement supplies a pressurizing gas into the hermetically sealed space so as to impart the bonding pressure. A pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the hermetically sealed space, and a controller effects a compensation for incremental increases in the bonding pressure when the pressure inside the hermetically sealed space is reduced by the evacuating arrangement and for incrementally decreasing the bonding pressure when the pressure inside the space is elevated by the pressurized gas, by feedback output signals of the pressure sensor to the hydraulic pressure source.

Hot press for use in production of multilayered substrate

The present invention provides a printed circuit board which is high in acid resistance, mechanical strength at high temperature and bond strength, a method for making the printed circuit board and an apparatus used for making the printed circuit board. The technique of the present invention is characterized in that a metallic film having metal particles discretely distributed therein is provided on a roughened surface of copper circuit pattern on an insulating substrate which has been oxidized to form copper oxide and thereafter reduced.

Printed circuit board and method and apparatus for making same

A hot press including a displaceable sleeve for surrounding materials of a multi-layer substrate under a reduced pressure condition, a gas pressurizing condition and a heating condition with thermal plates. Upper and lower sealing units seal an interior of the sleeve, with a mechanism lowering and raising the sleeve. A pilot check mechanism prevents a lower bolster from raising/lowering upon the reduced pressure condition and the gas pressure condition, and a retainer maintains the lowered or raised condition of the sleeve. The multi-layer substrate is formed under the reduced pressure condition and the gas pressure condition. Accordingly, the atmosphere and moisture between the materials of the multi-layer substrate and volatile composition are removed. Additionally, a void generated during the heat and pressure process by the heating plates is eliminated from the multi-layer substrate. By carrying out the formation of the multi-layer substrate at the heat and pressure by the heating plates under the gas pressure condition, a final dimensional precision and shape are enhanced and a warpage or twist is suppressed.

To make a composite article comprising a copper element and an adhesive material adhesively bonded to a surface thereof, the surface of the copper element is provided with knife-shaped elongate projections whose opposite flanks are at an average angle of less than 60.degree. to each other. The knife-shaped elongate projections may include rod-shaped projections much smaller than the knife-shaped projections projecting outwardly from the surface of the knife-shaped projections. The knife-shaped projections may be formed by electroless plating and the rod-shaped projections by oxidation and optionally reduction. Bonding strength is improved.

A method of bonding copper and a resin together is disclosed which comprises forming a copper oxide layer on the surface of copper to be bonded to a resin, reducing the copper oxide layer to metallic copper with a reducing solution, and bonding the metallic copper and the resin together. According to this method, a good acid resistance of the bonding interface and a sufficiently high bonding strength can be obtained.
