Tab tape and method for producing same
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for producing a tape automated bonding tape, comprising the steps of:
- forming a device hole, a window hole, or a sprocket hole in a metal plate over an area where a conductor metal foil is to be bonded;
placing an adhesive layer on the metal plate;
bonding a conductor metal foil onto the adhesive layer, wherein the conductor metal foil is the same metal as the metal plate;
coating the metal plate with a protective plating which is not corroded by an etchant which is to be used for etching the conductor metal foil; and
forming the required conductor pattern by etching the conductor metal foil with the etchant.

Abstract
A TAB (tape automated bonding) tape of high precision is formed without the deformations of its conductor pattern and the like and which is hermetically sealed with resin. The method for producing a TAB tape includes punching required holes, such as a device hole 14 and the like, in a metal plate 10 coated with an insulating adhesive layer 12 over the area where a conductor pattern is to be formed; and forming a required conductor pattern 24 by bonding a conductor metal foil onto the adhesive layer and by etching the conductor metal foil. Thus, the material cost of this TAB tape can be reduced and the production of this tape is facilitated.
