Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a molded product, a metal-clad laminate and a printed wiring board, each of which contains a tetrafluoroethylene type polymer, whereby an decrease in electrical characteristics is inhibited and a hole can be easily bored with UV-YAG laser; and methods for their production. A molded product containing a tetrafluoroethylene type polymer, in which the content of components other than the tetrafluoroethylene type polymer is at most 0.9 mass %, and which has a wavelength range where the extinction coefficient becomes to be from 1.2 to 4.5 at from 200 to 380 nm; and a method for its production. A metal-clad laminate having a conductive metal layer and a layer of the molded product; and a method for its production. A printed wiring board provided with the metal-clad laminate and having through-holes in the thickness direction of the polymer layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a film, comprising: heat-molding a material which comprises a melt-moldable tetrafluoroethylene type polymer comprising at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a carbonyl group-containing group, a hydroxy group, an epoxy group, an amide group, an amino group, and an isocyanate group, and in which the content of components other than the melt-moldable tetrafluoroethylene type polymer is at most 0.9 mass %, at a temperature of from (Tm−15) to (Tm+100)° C. wherein Tm is a melting point of the melt-moldable tetrafluoroethylene type polymer and is from 100 to 325° C., in an atmosphere consisting of nitrogen and optionally less than 10,000 ppm of oxygen, to produce a film in which the content of said-components other than the melt-moldable tetrafluoroethylene type polymer is at most 0.9 mass % and which has a wavelength region where the extinction coefficient becomes to be from 1.2 to 4.5, at from 200 to 380 nm. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-molding is conducted in an atmosphere having an oxygen concentration of at most 1,000 ppm. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film has an extinction coefficient of from 1.2 to 2.0 at a wavelength of 355 nm, or an extinction coefficient of from 2.0 to 4.5 at a wavelength of 266 nm. 4. A method for producing a metal-clad laminate, comprising: producing a film by the method of claim 1 ; and thermocompression bonding a conductive metal foil and the film, to produce a metal-clad laminate having a conductive metal layer and a layer of the film. 5. A method for producing a metal-clad laminate, comprising: applying, on the surface of a conductive metal foil, a liquid composition comprising a liquid medium and a material which comprises a melt-moldable tetrafluoroethylene type polymer comprising at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a carbonyl group-containing group, a hydroxy group, an epoxy group, an amide group, an amino group, and an isocyanate group, and in which the content of components other than the melt-moldable tetrafluoroethylene type polymer is at most 0.9 mass %; and removing the liquid medium and, at the same time, heating in an atmosphere consisting of nitrogen and optionally less than 10,000 ppm of oxygen and having a temperature of from Tm to (Tm+100)° C. wherein Tm is a melting point of the melt-moldable tetrafluoroethylene type polymer and is from 100 to 325° C., to let the melt-moldable tetrafluoroethylene type polymer be fusion-bonded to the conductive metal foil, to produce a metal-clad laminate having a conductive metal layer and a layer of a film in which the content of components other than the melt-moldable tetrafluoroethylene type polymer is at most 0.9 mass %, and which has a wavelength region where the extinction coefficient becomes to be from 1.2 to 4.5, at from 200 to 380 nm. 6. A method for producing a printed wiring board, comprising: producing a metal-clad laminate by the method of claim 5 ; and irradiating the metal-clad laminate with UV-YAG laser to form through holes in a thickness direction of the metal-clad laminate. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the atmosphere in which the heat-molding is conducted consists of nitrogen and optionally at most 5,000 ppm of oxygen. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the atmosphere in which the heat-molding is conducted consists of nitrogen and optionally at most 1,000 ppm of oxygen. 9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the atmosphere in which the heating is conducted consists of nitrogen and optionally at most 5,000 ppm of oxygen. 10. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the atmosphere in which the heating is conducted consists of nitrogen and optionally at most 1,000 ppm of oxygen. 11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film has a thickness of from 1 to 50 μm. 12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film has a thickness of from 2 to 25 μm. 13. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the film has a thickness of from 1 to 50 μm. 14. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the film has a thickness of from 2 to 25 μm.
