The invention relates to a method for making electric conduction patterns on a
metal-foil-clad insulating substrate. The method comprises the steps that insulating envelope grooves are machined in the periphery of a conducting layer which needs to be reserved, and
machining is conducted twice or more when excessively narrow isolated wires are encountered; a conducting layer which needs to be removed is subdivided into a plurality of strip-shaped heat-insulating small blocks, wherein one end of each small block is narrowed, the other end of each small block is widened, and the narrowed end of one
metal foil layer small block and the widened end of another
metal foil layer small block adjacent to the
metal foil layer small block are arranged in a corresponding mode; next,
laser beams are projected onto the heat-insulating small blocks obtained after
subdivision, so that the small blocks are separated from the substrate material and removed. According to the method for making the electric conduction patterns on the
metal foil-clad insulating substrate, by means of adjusting the projection parameters, a projection path and the projection environment of a
laser, the conducting layer on the substrate material is removed, a predetermined electric conduction structure is formed, corresponding technological processes adopted for manufacturing the electric conduction structure through a chemical method, a physical method and a
laser method in the prior art are replaced, the laser is directly used for forming and making the electric conduction patterns, as a result, multiple devices and materials are omitted, environmental friendliness is achieved, the process is short, the technology is simple and easy to implement, and the method is suitable for manufacturing multiple types of circuit board samples with higher accuracy in a small-batch mode and general circuit boards.
