Patent ID: 8778124

Claim:
A method for making a non-planar three-dimensional (3D) multilayered circuit board comprising: forming a stacked arrangement comprising at least one pair of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) layers with a bonding layer therebetween, the stacked arrangement further comprising at least one first electrically conductive pattern layer on at least one of the LCP layers and being initially planar; heating and applying pressure to the stacked arrangement to shape the stacked arrangement into a non-planar 3D shape and concurrently causing the bonding layer to bond together the adjacent LCP layers of the stacked arrangement to thereby form the non-planar 3D multilayered circuit board, during heating and applying of pressure, the at least one pair of LCP layers having an elastic modulus greater than an elastic modulus of the bonding layer; and forming at least one second electrically conductive pattern layer on portions of the non-planar 3D multilayered circuit board, the forming of the at least one second electrically conductive pattern layer being after the heating and applying of pressure, the forming of the at least one second electrically conductive pattern layer comprising at least one of ink-jet printing and silk screening.
