Abstract:
Bei einer Leiterplattenanordnung mit leitfähigen Verbindungsbereichen (2) für leitfähige Anschlußbereiche (Pads) (3, 8) und Lotresistbereichen (4), die höher sind als die Verbindungsbereiche und die Anschlußbereiche und die im Bereich der Anschlußflächen Aussparungen (5) aufweisen, ist vorgesehen, daß die Fläche einer Aussparung des Lotresists in Abhängigkeit von der Fläche eines Anschlußbereichs und einer gegebenen Lotkegelhöhe gewählt ist und daß in der Aussparung die Anschlußfläche (3, 8) breiter ist als der zugeordnete angeschlossene Verbindungsbereich (2, 9). Bei dem Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Leiterplatte ist vorgesehen, in die sich nach dem Verfahren ergebende Aussparung des Lotresists Lotmaterial aufzutragen, das die Anschlußfläche und ihre nicht leitfähige Umgebung in der Aussparung zumindest teilweise abdeckt. Der der Anschlußfläche zugeordnete Anschluß eines Bauelements wird durch Aufschmelzen des Lotmaterials mit der Anschlußfläche verlötet.

Abstract:
An etched tri-metal-layer air bridge circuit board specially designed for fine-pitch applications, comprising: an electrically insulative substrate surface (10), a plurality of tri-metal-layer bond pads (12) arranged in a generally straight row on the substrate surface (10) wherein the row defines a width direction therealong, and a circuit trace (20) arranged on the substrate surface (10), wherein the circuit trace (20) runs between two adjacent ones (22) of the plurality of tri-metal-layer bond pads (12). Each bond pad (12) comprises: (1) a bottom layer (14) attached to the substrate surface (10), the bottom layer (14) being made of a first metal and having an overall width W1 as measured along the width direction; (2) a top layer (18) disposed above and generally concentric with the bottom layer (14), the top layer (18) being made of the first metal and having an overall width W2 as measured along the width direction; and (3) a middle layer (16) made of a second metal connecting the bottom layer (14) and the top layer (18). The bond pads (12) are specially shaped such that W2 > W1 for at least the two adjacent bond pads (12), thus enabling the circuit trace (20) to be spaced closely to the bottom layers (14) of the two adjacent bond pads (12), while allowing the top layers (18) of the pads (12) to be made much larger so as to avoid delamination thereof from their associated middle layers (16).
Abstract:
There is disclosed herein a printed circuit board (PCB) having improved resistance against solder bridging and component decentring/tombstoning. The PCB comprises: a substrate 10 having a top surface 12; at least two mounting pads 14 disposed on the top surface in matched relation with terminations 26 of an electronic component 24; and a solder mask 16 disposed on the top surface and having at least two apertures 18 therethrough, wherein each aperture generally conforms in shape with and is arranged about a respective one of the mounting pads 14. Each aperture 18 has at least one inner aperture edge 22i generally within a projected footprint F of the electronic component and at least one outer aperture edge 220 generally outside the footprint F. Each aperture 18 includes a notch 20 in one or more of the at least one outer aperture edge 220, wherein each notch 20 extends generally outward from its respective mounting pad 14. The notch 20 provides a reservoir in the solder mask aperture 18 about each pad 14, into which flux, other solder paste effluents, and solder balls may be channelled and remain contained.
Abstract:
Electrical interconnection structures are described. The electrical interconnection structures are formed by electrically interconnecting in a stack a plurality of discrete substrates (22, 24). By using a plurality of discrete substrates, a multilayer dielectric/electrical conductor structure can be fabricated from individual discrete substrates each of which can be tested prior to forming a composite stack so that defects in each discrete substrate can be eliminated before inclusion into the stack. Electrical interconnection between adjacent substrate is provided by an array of contact locations on each surface of the adjacent substrates. Corresponding contacts on adjacent substrates are adapted for mutual electrical engagement. Adjacent contact locations can be thermocompression bonded. To reduce the parasitic capacitance and coupled noise between the contact pads (26) the electrical conductors within the interior of each discrete substrate, the contact pads on each substrate have elongated shape. The elongated contact pads or lattice pads on adjacent substrates are nonparallel and preferably orthogonal so that the corresponding pads of adjacent substrates electrically interconnect an intersecting area which varies in location along the elongated contact pads as the placement of the adjacent substrates varies in the manufacture thereof.
Abstract:
An electrical connecting arrangement is provided between an electrical edge connector and a printed circuit board in which contact pads provided near the edge of the printed circuit board have a convex profile at least in the direction of insertion of the board into an opening in the edge connector. The depth of the connector opening and the distance of the contact pads from the board edge is such that during insertion of the board into the connector contact springs of the latter ride up and over the convex profile of the pads and come to rest beyond the centre line of the convex profile when the board is fully inserted.
