| 1. A method for the manufacture of a multilayer circuit, comprising
laminating a stack comprising a first circuit, a second circuit, and a bond ply layer disposed therebetween, the bond ply
comprising a liquid crystalline polymer layer having a glass transition temperature and a first crystalline to nematic melting
point, as defined by the peak endotherm above the glass transition temperature in a differential scanning calorimeter measurement;
and
subsequent to said laminating, treating the laminated stack at a temperature between the glass transition temperature and
the first melting point effective to raise the first melting point to a second crystalline to nematic melting point, as defined
by the peak endotherm above the glass transition temperature in a differential scanning calorimeter measurement, wherein the
second melting point is at least about 10° C. greater than the first melting point.
