Abstract

See full text

A flexible circuit board includes a center “rigid” section, such as a printed circuit stack, and an adjoining flexible multi-layer body that are fabricated from a common interconnect layer. A transition material is included at the interface between the center rigid section and the flexible multi-layer body to minimize ripping and cracking of the interconnect layer. The transition material can also be added at stress areas not related to the interface. The transition material is attached at the interface and stress areas of the flexible circuit board in order to strengthen the flexible circuit board in general and in particular the transition material included therein. The transition material layer is formed and deposited at one or more locations on or within the flexible circuit board in order to minimize, reduce, if not prevent cracking and ripping of the flexible circuit board as it is bent, flexed and/or twisted.
