VIALAM MV 4020 Series - RRCC
Vialam MV 4020 is a high Tg glass reinforced resin coated foil. It is designed for fine line processing in IC Substrate. Applications include smartphones, digital cameras, camcorders, and media tablets. The product comes in the form of a reinforced resin coated on copper. Ultrathin copper is being used with very low profile roughness for ease of etching. The low roughness and high peel strength characteristics of this product make it suitable for the modified semi additive processing. In addition, the coating thickness can be made very thin by the use of ultrathin glass fabrics such that it can be applied on coreless construction. The product is still in the development stage and samples can be made available for customer evaluation if requested.
General Features and Benefits
- High Tg resin system
- Ultrathin glass styles
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion
- Low water absorption
- High peel strength
