Abstract:
A substrate having a conductive plane and a via passing through the conductive plane is provided. The conductive plane contacts the via to electrically interconnect the via and the conductive plane. A gap in the conductive plane separates a surface of the via from the conductive plane to provide an uninterrupted path for electrical current flowing substantially on the surface of the via.
Abstract:
A method for achieving a desired value of electrical impedance between conductors of an electrical power distribution structure by electrically coupling multiple bypass capacitors and corresponding electrical resistance elements in series between the conductors. The resistance elements may be annular resistors, and may provide the designer a greater degree of control of the system ESR. The annular resistors may comprise a first terminal, an annular resistor, and a second terminal. The second terminal may be located within the confines of the annular resistor. The annular resistors may be printed onto a conductive plane (e.g. a power plane or a ground plane), or may be a discrete component.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a multilayer printed circuit board that shortens the distance between pattern layers and facilitates formation of a minute conductive hole having superior conductive reliability. A core substrate (21) including ad core pattern (12, 13), which has a pad (101, 111), is first prepared. Then, a laminated plate is formed by laminating an insulating layer (22) on the surface of the core substrate. Afterward, a surface pattern (11) is formed on the surface of the laminated plate. Further, the conductive hole (30, 31) is formed by irradiating a laser beam at the laminated plate. The bottom opening of the conductive hole (30, 31) is covered by the pad (101, 111).
Abstract:
A multilayered wiring board using conductive pillars for the interconnection of wiring layers. Since through holes are bored in the via lands of the wiring layers of the multilayered wiring board, the stress applied between the conductive pillars and wiring layers can be released at the time of connecting the conductive pillars to the via lands. Since the external side face of each conductive pillar smoothly continues to the surface of the via land at the contact section between the conductive pillar and the via land, the notch effect is relieved. Therefore, the reliability of the interconnection is secured even when a stress is applied to the connections during the manufacturing of the multilayered wiring board, and the mounting of electronic elements, etc.

A process for producing a wiring board involves laminating a metal foil on both sides of an insulating substrate not completely cured, followed by pressing with heating; drilling holes in the resulting laminate for connecting circuits therein; removing portions of the metal foils in narrow areas around the holes to form hollow portions in the metal foils; and filling a flowable electroconductive substance in the holes and the hollow portions.

Abstract:
First (111) and second (112) signal wiring patterns are formed in a first conductor layer (101). A first electrode pad (121) electrically connected to the first signal wiring pattern through a first via (131) and a second electrode pad (122) electrically connected to the second signal wiring pattern through a second via (132) are formed in a second conductor layer (102) as a surface layer. A third conductor layer (103) is disposed between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer with an insulator (105) interposed between those conductor layers. A first pad (141,151,161,171) electrically connected to the first via is formed in the third conductor layer. The first pad includes an opposed portion (141a,151b,161c,171d) which overlaps the second electrode pad as viewed in a direction perpendicular to the surface of a printed board and which is opposed to the second electrode pad through intermediation of the insulator. This enables reduction of crosstalk noise caused between the signal wirings.
