Solution Approach 1:

The invention uses a composite structure consisting of a glass substrate bonded to a resin base material with specific properties (dielectric loss tangent ≤0.01, peel strength ≥3.0 N/cm, out gas ≤5.0 μg/g). This composite approach combines the low dielectric loss of glass with the manufacturability and adhesion benefits of specially formulated resin materials, resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of manufacture.

Solution Approach 2:

The invention specifies precise parameter ranges for the resin base material (dielectric loss tangent ≤0.01, peel strength ≥3.0 N/cm, out gas ≤5.0 μg/g) to optimize performance. By controlling these parameters, the resin material achieves both low dielectric loss for high frequency applications and sufficient adhesion strength, while remaining manufacturable with existing processes.

Solution Approach 1:

The composite structure of glass substrate + resin base material bonded via optical clear adhesive provides both strong adhesion to copper wire base materials and long-term durability.
