The load support bar is mounted on one or more biasing members such that the top surface of the support bar extends above the top surface of the base plate by a selected distance.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a structure to reduce generation of a failure due to a weak interface of metal and ceramic under an input/output pad of an MLC(multiplayer ceramic) substrate. SOLUTION: Resistance for low intensity structure failure of the interface 64 betweenmetal and ceramic under an input/ output pad 54 is increased by controlling the surface metallizing of a green sheet 50 during the process, and thereby a tensile strength of a pin of an input/output pad 54 on the multiplayer ceramic substrate can be increased. In view of increasing an area of the contact surface between the green sheet 50 and input/output pad, the region where the input/output pad 54 at the surface of green sheet 50 is printed by the screen printing method is changed to the rough surface. The number of coupling points between the green sheet 50 and input/output metallization is increased and different screen printing material is used and thereby mechanical interlock at the interface between metal and ceramic surface 64 is intensified.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a minute device having a minute well and a minute channel and a method of forming the same. SOLUTION: The micro spotting device is provided with a plurality of feeding holes, a plurality of dispensing nozzles, open cavities communicating with the nozzles, and a plurality of channels. The channels are connected with feeding holes with the dispense nozzles, and from the feeding nozzles the fluid is transferred under capillary force. The channels connect a single feeding hole retaining a liquid to a dispensing nozzle for dispensing the liquid. The micro spotting plate allows the continuous self feeding flow through the hydrophilic layer by the capillary force, while enabling controlled dispensing of the multi-array liquid droplet on the substrate. The substrate is preferably a test slide for later use. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
A method to control the post sinter distortion of hot pressing sintered multilayer ceramic laminate by placing a non-densifying structure in the green ceramic laminate prior to sintering. One or more non-densifying structures are placed on one or more ceramic greensheets which are then stacked and laminated to form a green ceramic laminate. The laminate is then sintered and the non-densifying structure will control the dimensions of the hot pressed multilayer ceramic substrate. The method can be used to control post sinter dimensions in MLC substrates manufactured as either single or multi-up substrates by placing the non-densifying structure in the kerf area between the individual product ups prior to sintering.

Abstract:
A copper-based paste is disclosed for filling vias in, and forming conductive surface patterns on, ceramic substrate packages for semiconductor chip devices. The paste contains copper aluminate powder in proper particle size and weight proportion to achieve grain size and shrinkage control of the via and thick film copper produced by sintering. The shrinkage of the copper material during sintering is closely matched to that of the ceramic substrate.
