Robert,
Copper Invar Copper (CIC) is a Texas Industries "foil" product for
multi layer boards that was designed to give the resulting board a low
CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion). The copper is metallurgically
roll bonded to both sides of a foil layer of Invar (a nickel iron
alloy that has very low CTE). Invar also has low thermal conductivity
(much lower than copper). Arlon (among others (not necessarily an
endorsement :)) makes a laminate core material using CIC. Resulting
board CTE using CIC and polyimide are 9-12 ppm-C (compared to 16-18
ppm-C for standard polyimide GI(J,L,N) boards). Talk to your board
vendors about processing concerns and cost.
