Patent ID: 7919027

Claim:
A method for manufacturing electrical components on at least one of a continuous web and discrete sheets, the method comprising: feeding said at least one of continuous web and discrete sheets from at least one of a supply roll of continuous web and a supply of discrete sheets to a nip between a patterned cylinder and a milling cutter cylinder, the at least one of continuous web and discrete sheets including at least two layers, the at least two layers including a conducting layer of conducting material, and a flexible backing layer of a dielectric material, said conducting layer being laminated on the flexible backing layer; patterning, by the patterned cylinder, said at least one of continuous web and discrete sheets by shaping the conducting layer into a repeated pattern of conducting material having ridges and valleys; and milling, by the milling cutter cylinder, said at least one of continuous web and discrete sheets by removing conducting material from the shaped conducting layer, wherein the patterning and milling steps are performed at the same time when the at least one of continuous web and discrete sheets pass through the nip.
