Abstract:
A method for attaching an electronic component to a substrate having a patterned conductive layer underlying a dielectric layer includes : removing regions of the dielectric layer to form cavities having an exposed surface area of the conductive layer ; filling the cavities with solder paste ; heating the solder paste to form a convex surface which protrudes above the substrate surface, for receiving an electronic component for attachment ; planarising the convex surface such that it and the surface of the substrate surface are substantially coplanar ; placing contact pads of the electronic component adjacent the substrate such that the contact pads overlie given filled cavities ; and reheating the solder so that it reflows and connects the electronic component to the substrate. The cavities preferably all have the same volume. If the ratio of exposed surface area to cavity volume is low, pillars form during reflow, spacing the component from the substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the methods of construction for inductive components of, preferably, ferromagnetic materials such as inductors, chokes, and transformers when used as an integral part of the fabrication of PCB's or FLEX's. In one preferred embodiment, holes are formed through a ferromagnetic substrate and plated with conductive material. The arrangement of these holes, and the subsequent design that ensues, will form the inductive components within the plane of the media in which the device is formed; using the substrate for a magnetic core. By using this approach, the inductive components can be miniaturized to physical sizes compatible with the requirements of modern surface mount technology (SMT) for integrated circuitry (IC). This process also allows these components to be fabricated using mass production techniques, thereby avoiding the need to handle discrete devices during the manufacturing process. In another preferred embodiment, a series of thin, concentric high permeability rings are etched on a substrate to provide high permeability transformers and inductors having minimal eddy current effects.

Abstract:
In an IC packaging scheme, a multilayer substrate (114) is composed of electrically conductive layers of interconnects (120, 122, 124), separated by insulative layers of epoxy resin or ceramic and connected by vias. Passive elements (102, 104, 106) are integrated within the substrate (114) at the definition stage during layout of the interconnects (120, 122, 124). The passives (102, 104, 106) can be used to enhance the electrical performance of the active circuit die to a maximum extent allowed by the material technology used for the substrate. Material selection for the package is made to allow for the best passive integration for a given circuit design. Typical applications include power supply bypass capacitors, radio frequency tuning, and impedance matching. The incorporation of passives in the packaging substrate creates a new class of electrically tailorable packaging that can derive improved performance for any given die design over existing approaches.
Abstract:
A computer bus comprises conductive tracks which extend in four layers. Each plug-in point (I, II, III) has three columns (a, b, c) of plug-in holes arranged in a plurality of rows (1, 2, 3, ...). The conductive track which links the plug-in holes having the index a2 in sequence passes between the plug-in points I and II through the first layer, but between the points II and III through the fourth layer. The same principle applies to the conductive track which connects plug-in holes diagonally adjacent to the plug-in holes a2 or the second holes thereafter. The conductive tracks which connect the adjacent holes to the plug-in holes a2 pass through the fourth layer when the conductive track connecting the plug-in holes a2 in sequence passes through the first layer, and vice-versa. This ensures that the conductive tracks starting from neighbouring holes are situated a maximum distance apart. The adjacent conductive tracks which pass through the same layer lead to non-adjacent plug-in holes, which results in minimal signal coupling. In addition, the alternation between the layers leaves sufficient space in each layer for a protective grid, which further improves the decoupling and shielding of the signals transmitted by the bus. Since the alternation of the conducting tracks between the layers is carried out according to the same principle, all the conducting trucks have the same length. This enables signals with identical transmission times to be obtained. A series inductance is also provided for each transverse capacitor in such a way that signals of different frequencies travel at the same speed.
