Abstract:
An electronic panel assembly (EPA) includes one or more electronic devices with primary faces having electrical contacts, opposed rear faces and edges therebetween. The devices are mounted primary faces down in openings in a warp control sheet (WCS). Cured plastic encapsulation is formed at least between lateral edges of the devices and WCS openings. Undesirable panel warping during encapsulation is mitigated by choosing the WCS coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) to be less than the encapsulation CTE. Thin film insulators and conductors couple electrical contacts on various devices to each other and to external terminals, thereby forming an integrated multi-device EPA.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include integrated circuit structures having an off-axis in-hole capacitor. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit (IC) structure includes: a substrate layer having an upper surface; an IC chip at least partially contained within the substrate layer and aligned with a minor axis perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate layer; an aperture in the substrate layer, the aperture physically separated from the IC chip; and a capacitor in the aperture and at least partially contained within the substrate layer, the capacitor being physically isolated from the IC chip, wherein the capacitor is aligned with an axis perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate layer and offset from the minor axis of the IC chip.

Abstract:
This publication discloses a circuit-board construction and a method for manufacturing an electronic module, in which method at least one component (6) is embedded inside an insulating-material layer (1) and contacts (14) are made to connect the component (6) electrically to the conductor structures (14, 19) contained in the electronic module. According to the invention, at least one thermal via (22), which boosts the conducting of heat away from the component (6) is manufactured in the insulating-material layer (1) in the vicinity of the component (6).
Abstract:
A vehicle-mounted antenna device (20) includes a base (22), a board (24), a circuit section (30), and a housing (32). The base is mountable on a roof (11) of a vehicle (10). The board has an antenna element section (26) and is stood on a surface (22a) of the base. The circuit section serves as at least part of a wireless communication circuit electrically connected to the antenna element section. The housing is made of a resin material and forms a projection of a vehicle outer shape. The board and the circuit section are located in space formed by the base and the housing. The board is stood on the surface of the base so that a first direction perpendicular to the surface of the base differs from a second direction equal to a thickness direction of the board. The circuit section is implemented on the board at a position away from the base in the first direction.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electronic unit (1) comprising a circuit board, PCB, (2) arranged to be mounted in a main housing (6, 7). The main housing comprises a first housing part (6) and a second housing part (7), where the first housing part (6) at least partly is electrically conducting. The PCB (2) comprises a first outer layer (3), a second outer layer (4), and a ground plane (5), where the first outer layer (3) mainly faces the first housing part (6) and the second outer layer (4) mainly faces the second housing part (7) when mounted. Furthermore, when mounted, the ground plane (5) is arranged to make electrical contact with the first housing part (6) such that a first chamber (29), facing the first outer layer (3), and a second chamber (30), facing the second outer layer (4), are formed. Said chambers (29, 30) are separated by means of the ground plane (5), such that an electromagnetic shielding is created between the chambers (29, 30).
