In this paper, the thickness of a multilayer PCB was predicted through an empirical formulation based on the physical properties of the prepreg used in multilayer PCB. Since the thickness of prepreg reduction when manufacturing a PCB due to the physical properties and copper foil residual rate, it is necessary to accurately predict the thickness of the PCB through the thickness empirical formulation. To determine the density of the prepreg, the mass and thickness of the prepreg were measured. To manufacture the CCL, the prepreg and copper foil were laminated using a hot press machine, and the thickness was measured using a microscope and micrometer. An 8-layerd PCB was designed with different circuit densities to measure the change in the thickness with the copper foil residual ratio, and the proposed empirical formulation was verified by comparing the measured thickness with the value obtained using the empirical formulation. As a result, the errors for the CCL and multilayer PCB were 2.56% and 4.48%, respectively, which demonstrated the reliability of the empirical formulation.

The copper foil of 10fm of thickness was prepared, and the surface treatment on the copper foil was done by the method of the electrolytic plating in the acid solution with the sulfate ion as a purpose to remove the main element of the surface contaminant of copper variously. The structure on the surface of the copper foil in this study investigated AFM with SEM the changed phenomenon according to added plating time and current. The phenomenon of the structure's of the oxide on the surface of long plating time and high current growing was confirmed.

Flexible copper clad laminates (FCCL) fabricated by sputtering has advantages in fine pitch etching and dimensional accuracy than previous casting or laminating type FCCL, But its lower adhesion is inevitable technical challenge to solve for commercializing it. Chromium (Cr) which strongly reacts with O moiety was used as tie-coating layer in order to improve low adhesion between copper (Cu) and polyimide (PI). Sputtering raw polyimide (SRPI) and casting raw polyimide (CRPI) were used as substrates at this research. PI was pretreated by plasma before sputtering, and each sample was varied with RF power and Cr thickness on sputtering. Peel strength of the FCCL on SRPI was higher than that on CRPI. Adhesion had maximum value when 10 nm of Cr was deposited on SRPI by RF power of 50 W. It seems to be by the formation of Cu-Cr-O solid solution at the metal-PI interface.
