Formation of Conductive Circuit Patterns by IVONDING

Japanese | English | Chinese

	IVONDING is a patented method using the hot embossing process. IVONDING is one of the methods for manufacturing MID (Molded Interconnect Device),and forms circuit patterns on the substrate of thermoplastics without plating. We are making the development and sales activities in cooperation with Osaka Vacuum Chemical Co.,Ltd , who is the sole agent of IVOTAPE in Japan and Asia. >>IVONDING Applications
	[1] Introduction of Circuit Configurations by IVONDING As conductive circuit patterns can be rapidly and precisely embossed on a plastic substrate, wire or printed circuit board are no longer necessary.
	Embossing Process
	[2] What is IVOTAPE? *IVOTAPE is the copper sheet made by electrolysis, and has the favorable shear strength to embossing and the good electrical conductivity. Electrical conductivity corresponds to the values of standard copper sheet of PC Board. The copper sheet is manufactured in thickness of 18, 35, 70 and 100 micrometers. A electroplating layer of tin/lead, nickel, silver or gold can be applied to the copper surface. As the projection like cauliflower on the back side of the copper sheet eats in the heated resin like anchor, the reduction of bonding force does not happen by heat and time .
	[3] The Advantage of IVONDING Molded parts can be equipped with various functions such as boss ,rib and clump. Conductive circuit patterns can be formed on not only flat plates but also taped and side sections. Available for the conductive current from signal to power sources such as 14 amps of current. Wide selection of thermoplastic grades and no need of electroless platable grade. Low cycle time and low investment cost resulting in competitive manufacturing cost. No environmental problems. No waste water exhaust which occurs in chemical etching process.
