The method comprises the following steps: providing a first LCP core substrate and a second LCP core substrate; connecting an active device to the first LCP core substrate in an inverted manner; arranging a passive device on the second LCP core substrate by means of surface mounting, sequentially overlapping and stacking the second LCP core substrate mounted with the passive device, an LCP dielectric layer and the first LCP core substrate connected with the active device in an inverted manner, and thermoforming to obtain the multi-layer LCP substrate structure embedded with both the active device and the passive device. The multi-layer LCP substrate structure can be used for making a microwave / millimeter wave system level module and has the characteristic of achieving a system with high density, small size, high performance, high frequency, low value and low consumption.

A process for providing a metal-seeded liquid crystal polymer comprising the steps of providing a liquid crystal polymer substrate to be treated by applying an aqueous solution comprising an alkali metal hydroxide and a solubilizer as an etchant composition for the liquid crystal polymer substrate. Further treatment of the etched liquid crystal polymer substrate involves depositing an adherent metal layer on the etched liquid crystal polymer substrate. An adherent metal layer may be deposited using either electroless metal plating or vacuum deposition of metal such as by sputtering. When using electroless metal plating, a tin(II) solution applied to the liquid crystal polymer provides a treated liquid crystal polymer substrate to which the application of a palladium(II) solution provides the metal-seeded liquid crystal polymer. The etchant composition comprises a solution in water of from 35 wt. % to 55 wt. % of an alkali metal salt, and from 10 wt. % to 35 wt. % of a solubilizer dissolved in the solution to provide the etchant composition suitable for etching the liquid crystal polymer at a temperature from 50° C. to 120° C. A flexible circuit comprising a liquid crystal polymer film having through-holes and related shaped voids may be formed using etchant compositions as previously described. Etchant solutions may be used to prepare the surfaces of materials for formation of composite structures useful in applications including flexures for hard disk drives.

A compact endfire tapered slot antenna, which may be advantageously printed on a low permittivity Liquid Crystal Polymer substrate. The antenna features a microstrip-to-slot transition, in which the matching stubs of the slotline antenna feed and the microstrip input line are collinear. This is achieved using a 90° bend in the slotline. The antenna is consequently of smaller size, and has improved bandwidth over prior art geometries. The antenna may be carried on a fork-shaped metallic carrier, which gives it good rigidity, and may incorporate a metallic reflector, which increases its directive gain. The antenna is simpler to manufacture and a less costly alternative to conventional 60-GHz tapered slot antennas printed on multilayer LTCC substrates. It can be used both as an individual radiator as well as an element of an antenna array and is readily integrated with an RF module for use in future WPAN applications.

The fluid displacement structure can be a blade. The rotatable disk can be disposed within a cavity (145) defined in a substrate (105), such as a ceramic substrate, a liquid crystal polymer substrate, or a semiconductor substrate. A closed loop control circuit (235) can be included to control the rotational speed of the rotatable disk. For example, the control circuit can control a voltage source or a current source that applies voltage across the rotatable disk. The control circuit also can control a strength of a magnet (210) that applies a magnetic field (205) substantially aligned with an axis or rotation (155) of the rotatable disk.
