PLYMOUTH, MA – A new design brief from Tech-Etch describes processes for manufacturing high-reliability flexible circuits used in diagnostic imaging, patient monitoring, cardiac management, and life sciences.

Manufacturing processes in “High Reliability Flexible Circuits for the Medical Marketplace” include use of UV yag lasers, automated plated through-holes, laser direct imaging, additive copper processing, subtractive copper processing, automated optical inspection, and finishing options, flex assembly and circuit testing.

Topics include flex circuit substrates, plated through vias, coverlayer construction, component assembly, plus stiffener and interconnection options.

Flex circuit dimensions and tolerances are outlined.
