Patent ID: 8715450

Claim:
A process for producing a foamed member-attached electric or electronic device, the process comprising: a step of preparing a foamed member laminate comprising a foamed member and a carrier tape supporting the foamed member, the foamed member comprising: a thermoplastic resin foam layer containing a thermoplastic resin foam formed through a step of impregnating a high-pressure inert gas into a thermoplastic resin and subsequently reducing pressure; and at least one of a thermoplastic polyester-based resin layer and a thermoplastic elastomer resin layer disposed on at least one side of the thermoplastic resin foam layer, in which the foamed member is adhered to the carrier tape in such a way that a surface of the thermoplastic polyester-based resin layer or the thermoplastic elastomer resin layer of the foamed member is brought into contact with a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface of the carrier tape, a step of processing the foamed member laminate so as to form a predetermined shape, a step of peeling the foamed member from the carrier tape to isolate the foamed member, and a step of installing the foamed member processed and isolated to an electric or electronic device.
