Novaclad® - adhesiveless flexible laminate technology. Sheldahl's Novaclad
laminate offers a family of adhesiveless copperclad polyimide film laminate uniquely
created to meet difficult design challenges. It features thin copper, thermal and chemical
resistance, fine-line fabrication, high frequency performance capability and proven
reliability.
The Novaclad laminate is made
through a patented process which allows for direct deposition of flexible ductile copper
onto both sides of a high performance film. With no adhesive, Novaclad
laminates provide excellent processability, as well as advantages in achieving high
circuitry density, stability, thickness, and chemical resistance. Novaclad
laminate applications vary from packaging multichip modules, silicon chips, engine control
module circuitry, sensors, to antennas.
Sheldahl's Novaclad G2300 grade
laminate provides proven flexibility and physical strength. Its very fine
feature capability and excellent high frequency signal propagation is only available from
an adhesiveless laminate.
