Abstract:
The present invention provides a silicon nitride circuit board in which metal plates are attached on front and rear sides of a silicon nitride substrate having a three-point bending strength of 500 MPa or higher, with attachment layers interposed therebetween, wherein assuming that a thickness of the metal plate on the front side is denoted by t1, and a thickness of the metal plate on the rear side is denoted by t2, at least one of the thicknesses t1 and t2 is 0.6 mm or larger, a numerical relation: 0.10 ≤ |t1 - t2| ≤ 0.30 mm is satisfied, and warp amounts of the silicon nitride substrate in a long-side direction and a short-side direction both fall within a range from 0.01 to 1.0 mm. Due to above configuration, TCT properties of the silicon nitride circuit board can be improved even if the thicknesses of the front and rear metal plates are large.
Abstract:
One aspect relates to a method for producing an electronic module assembly. In that method, a curable first mass extending between a substrate assembly and a module housing is cured while a circuit carrier of the substrate assembly comprises at least a first temperature. Between a side wall of the module housing and the substrate assembly, an adhesive connection is formed by curing a curable second mass. Subsequent to curing the first mass, the circuit carrier is cooled down to below a second temperature lower than the first temperature.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a conductor assembly comprising a resilient tubular outer casing (1) with a flexible printed circuit board (6) in the outer casing's interior. On the circuit board a sensor (3) is arranged. A cavity (8a-c) in the outer casing adjacent to the sensor is filled with a rigid filling material (9). Where the rigid filling material extends in the lengthwise direction of the tubular outer casing (1) at least from one side of the sensor to the opposite side of the sensor. This means that the sensor will not be affected when the conductor assembly is bent or otherwise affected mechanically. The conductor assembly's outer casing (1) comprises an opening (7a-c) to a cavity (8a-c) in the outer casing in connection to the sensor, through which a filling material can be supplied in liquid form. Typically the conductor assembly includes two cavities (8a-b) in the outer casing on the side of the flexible circuit board (6) where the sensor is mounted, the two cavities being on either side of the sensor, and a third cavity (8c) in the outer casing on the side of the flexible circuit board (6) which is opposite to the sensor. In an advantageous embodiment the extension of at least one cavity (8a-c) in the outer casing is limited by bumps (4a-f) on either side of the cavity thus defining the cavity. Injected filler material propagation is governed by these bumps to the relevant space. Typically, the conductor assembly is a catheter or part of a catheter.
