Abstract:In general higher packaging densities, thinner substrates and lighter products can be achieved using flexible printed circuit boards (FPCB) compared to traditional thicker fiber-reinforced printed circuit boards. Polyimide (PI) is popular substrate material in FPCBs due to its excellent properties. Liquid crystal polymers (LCP), on the other hand, are more rarely used in FPCBs. This is mostly due to their high cost and poor availability. However, they have an excellent combination of thermal, mechanical, chemi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
