US Patent 7234230 Composite circuit board and method for manufacturing the same

A composite circuit board comprises multiple soft panels evenly mounted on a rigid panel. The soft panels are positioned on the rigid panel in proper alignment via locating pins on the rigid panel and corresponding holes in the soft panels. The soft panels are securely bonded to the rigid panel to form the composite circuit boards. The smaller size of the soft panels minimizes the alignment problems caused by the different heat expansion rates of the soft panel and the rigid panel.
