Steve,
Wow, sounds like you did everything but not use flex materials. If they
want it to stay a "Flex" circuit you can't do much more. I think you are
already better than if you use an epoxy based adhesive.
My friend at Hitachi sent me some info on their KS series that is supposed
to be the best stuff. I have not yet tested it. Are you using that for
your Polyimide adhesive?

Hi Joe,
3 pieces of AP 8525 - DuPont. Bondply - polyimide adhesive 35 micron,
apical- 12 micron, polyimide adhesive- 15 micron. Cracks start in the 15
micron polyimide adhesive- no total failures yet - drill size 10 mils -
aspect ratio - nothing special. About 200 vias per part. Thermal - +200c-
-60C as fast as they can cycle the chamber. This is one end of the flex -
the other end is a rigid flex - same flex build then added 2 layers of
polyimide rigid either side - this end shows none of the cracking so I
assume somehow the GI is stopping the polyimide adhesive from expanding as
much. Regards Steve

Hi Steve
Are all vias impacted or just some? If the latter, any common
characteristics? (i.e aspect ratio, stack up, location in stack, etc.) For
shared
edification, what are the materials in the set and what are the cycling
conditions and requirements? (at least so we can all get a sense of what
kind of
unreasonable requirements might be out there looming on the horizon)
Season's best,
Joe

Hi All,
We have a 6 layer flex that my customer has to thermal cycle at
temperatures beyond the rated Tg's of the material- the end use
environment
is about
as bad as it gets. After repeated thermal cycles we start to see cracks
develop in the glue layer used to bond the adhesiveless layers together.
Will
some kind of via fill help this issue?
Thanks in advance.
