Abstract:
A substrate assembly (10) and method of making same has at least one embedded component (25) in a via (24) of a substrate core (22) and includes a first adhesive layer (20) coupled to the substrate core, and a second adhesive layer (26) on at least portions of a top surface of the substrate core and above portions of the embedded component. The substrate assembly can further include a first conductive layer (18) adhered to the bottom surface of the substrate core and a second conductive layer (28) on the second adhesive layer. The substrate assembly can further include an interconnection (36) between a conductive surface of the embedded component and at least one among the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The interconnection can be formed through an opening (34) that at least temporarily exposes at least a conductive surface (32) of the embedded component.
Abstract:
A multilayer substrate assembly (80) includes at least one embedded component (52) within a plurality of stacked pre-processed substrates. Each pre-processed substrate can have a core dielectric (14), patterned conductive surfaces (12 and 16) on opposing sides of the core dielectric, and at least one hole (18) in each of at least two adjacently stacked pre-processed substrates such that at least two holes are substantially aligned on top of each other forming a single hole (19). The assembly further includes a processed adhesive layer (48) between top and bottom surfaces of respective pre-processed substrates. The embedded component is placed in the single hole and forms a gap (67 & 66) between the embedded component and a peripheral wall of the single hole. When the assembly is biased, the processed adhesive layer fills the gap to form the assembly having the embedded component cross-secting the plurality of pre-processed substrates.
Abstract:
A multi-purpose product packaging (100, 200) for an electronic host product (250) having its own casing can include an apparatus casing (110, 210) for removably and substantially encasing the electronic host product, circuitry (240) within the apparatus casing for providing at least one function to the electronic host product, and an interface (255) on the apparatus casing for enabling the at least one function to operate in conjunction with the electronic product. The apparatus casing can be made of recyclable products and the interface can form a portion of the circuitry within the apparatus casing. In one embodiment, the electronic host device can be a phone and the circuitry can provide any number of functions including the function of charging a power source within the phone.
