Abstract:
A microelectronic package includes a microelectronic element having faces and contacts, and a flexible substrate spaced from and overlying a first face of the microelectronic element, the flexible substrate having conductive pads facing away from the first face of the microelectronic element. The package includes a plurality of spheres attached to the conductive pads of the flexible substrate and projecting away from the first face of the microelectronic element, each sphere having a contact surface remote from the conductive pads, the contact surfaces of the spheres including a contact metal devoid of solder. The package also includes a plurality of support elements disposed between the microelectronic element and the substrate for supporting the flexible substrate over the microelectronic element, the spheres being offset from the support elements.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus provided by a quite novel solder connection, specifically, a flip chip connection implemented on a high-temperature side in a temperature hierarchy connection, in place of a high-lead solder containing much lead. A constitution, in which metal balls (6) containing a single metal, an alloy, a compound or a mixture of them are linked together by either Sn or In, is used for electrodes (3), (4) between a chip (1) and a substrate (2) to implement the above flip chip connection.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a semiconductor component in a chip format, comprising a chip with at least one first insulating layer (3) and electric contact surfaces (2) devoid of said insulating layer. Conductors (5) run from the electric contact surfaces (2) to the foot areas (10) of external connection elements (12) along the insulating layer (3). Another insulating layer (8) is also provided with through openings (9) leading from the outside to the foot areas (10) of the external connection elements (12). A conductive adhesive (11) is placed in said openings (9) and metallic globules (12) are placed at least on the outside thereon. The semiconductor element can also contain a solder paste instead of the conductive adhesive in the through openings (9), whereby the metallized synthetic globules are placed thereon. The invention also relates to a method for producing the semiconductor element thus described.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an anisotropic conductive adhesive (10) having an adhesive layer (12) and conductive particles (16) individually adhered to the adhesive layer, the conductive particles being arranged in an ordered array. The size of the conductive particles is at least somewhat smaller than the thickness of the adhesive layer. Also disclosed is an anisotropic conductive adhesive having an adhesive layer, conductive particles individually adhered to the adhesive layer, and a release liner (28) having an ordered array of dimples (24). The conductive particles reside in a single layer in the dimples. The anisotropic conductive adhesive is made by placing the conductive particles in an ordered array of dimples on a low adhesion surface. An adhesive layer is then laminated on top such that the conductive particles individually adhere to the adhesive layer. The anisotropic conductive adhesive may be used to electrically connect fine pitch electrodes on opposing circuit layers.
Abstract:
A soldering member for connection to an external unit, which is joined to a connection terminal having a nickel/gold electroless plating layer on the surface formed correspondingly to a conductor pattern on a printed wiring board. The member comprises a soldering ball containing finely powdered copper, and exhibits excellent strength of junction to the connection terminal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrical connection, especially a through contact, between at least two conductive layers, especially conductive tracks or the like on printed circuit boards, preferably multilayer printed circuit boards, with said connection formed by an electrically conductive track running transversely to the layers and contacting them. The connecting track is formed by a separately manufactured conductive connection section (6) subsequently applied to the printed circuit board (1) and is soldered to the layers (2).
Abstract:
Electrical signal and power transmission between two or more 3D-printed parts, 3D-printed parts and printed circuit boards, and/or 3D-printed parts and standard wire harnesses are facilitated by inserting electrically conductive magnets in sockets formed in each of the 3D-printed parts during 3D printing; by inserting electrically conductive magnets in sockets formed in a first part and inserting a biasable, electrically conductive object in the sockets formed in a second part during 3D printing; by 3D printing an electrically conductive feature having a biasable face in a first part and forming an electrically conductive pad/socket on a second part; or by affixing a printed circuit board in a first part and connecting the first part to a second part having contact pins and contact pads formed in the second part.
