Abstract:
A wiring substrate of the present invention includes such a structure that a plurality of connection pads and leading wiring portions connected to the plurality of connection pads respectively are arranged to an insulating layer of a surface layer side, and the leading wiring portions are arranged to be bended from the connection pads, and a solder layer to protrude upward is provided on the connection pads respectively. A solder on the leading wiring portions moves to the bend portion side, and thus the solder layer to protrude upward is formed on the connection pads.
Abstract:
One end of a power-supply bus is connected to a power supply through a ferrite bead. The power-supply bus is connected to power-supply terminals. The power-supply terminals are connected at positions in such a manner that a terminal with a higher intensity is connected closer to the other end of the power-supply bus. Ground terminals are connected to ground. Capacitors are bypass capacitors or decoupling capacitors, for example, and connected between respective power-supply terminals and ground.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board includes a group of pads suitable to be soldered to a respective group of solder-balls of a device. Each pad of the group has a crack initiation point on its perimeter at a location where cracks in a solder-ball are anticipated to start after that solder-ball is soldered to that pad. For a pad of that group having a microvia located therein, a center of that microvia is located farther than a center of that pad from its crack initiation point. For a pad of that group having a trace merging along a portion of its perimeter, that portion does not include a vicinity of that crack initiation point.
Abstract:
A method of routing or laying out signal traces on printed wire or circuit board in order to improve signal transmission quality. The method includes routing a given signal trace such that it is electrically connected to a rectangular corner of a substantially wider component pin pad and forms an angle of approximately 135 degrees with the proximate sides of the pad, thereby minimizing the impedance discontinuity at the interface or junction of the signal trace and pad and hence minimizing the reflection of the digital signal at the interface or junction.
Abstract:
A strengthened semiconductor die substrate and package are disclosed. The substrate may include contact fingers formed with nonlinear edges. Providing a nonlinear contour to the contact finger edges reduces the mechanical stress exerted on the semiconductor die which would otherwise occur with straight edges to the contact fingers. The substrate may additionally or alternatively include plating traces extending at an angle from the contact fingers. Extending at an angle, at least the ends of the plating traces at the edge of the substrate are covered beneath a lid in which the semiconductor package is encased. Thus, when in use with a host device, contact between the ends of the plating traces beneath the lid and contact pins of the host device is avoided.
Abstract:
A circuit board has, in a first signal layer, a signal conductor having a relatively small width and a contact pad having a relatively large width. The relatively large width of the contact pad combined with the relatively narrow signal conductor creates an impedance mismatch between the contact pad and the signal conductor. The circuit board has, in a second signal layer, a ground plane separated from the first signal layer by a nonconductive layer. The circuit board defines an opening in the second signal layer underneath the contact pad. The presence of the ground plane underneath the contact pad typically affects the impedance of the contact pad. The opening in the second signal layer removes a portion the ground plane relative to the contact pad and, therefore, reduces the impedance mismatch between the contact pad and the signal conductor. Such reduction in the mismatch of the impedances between the contact pad and the signal conductor minimizes signal reflection of a signal transmitted through the signal conductor and across the contact pad.

Abstract:
An injection-molded part (1) includes elevations (2) and/or depressions (12) arranged between integrated printed conductors (4). If the elevations (2) or depressions (12) are uncoated and thus electrically insulating, they increase the effective voltage clearances between the printed conductors (4) and the components (3) arranged next to the printed conductors (4). The geometric distances can then be reduced. Alternatively, by electroconductively coating the elevations (2), electric and magnetic shielding is achieved in a simple manner. A cover (6) is provided as a top of a box which uses elevations (2) as side walls. A tapering portion (5) connects coatings (7,7') of the cover (6) and elevations (2) via a printed conductor (8) running diagonally across the tapering portion (5).
Abstract:
A liquid crystal apparatus is constituted by a display device for data display, a drive circuit unit for driving the display device, a unit substrate for supplying electric signals to the drive circuit unit, and a tape-form film carrier comprising an insulating substrate and a conductor covered with the insulating substrate for connecting the display device, the drive circuit unit and the unit substrate. A part of the film carrier is provided with a blank portion where the insulating substrate is locally removed to absorb a stress applied to the film carrier. A unit substrate constituting the drive circuit unit is screwed to a supporting member so as to allow a movement thereof relative to the supporting member by use of a space regulating means surrounding the screw shank.
