Abstract:
A circuit board includes an insulating substrate, a first conductive layer on the insulating substrate, a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer, and a third conductive layer covering the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The first conductive layer has a surface provided on the surface of the insulating substrate, and a surface having a width smaller than a width of the above surface. In this circuit board, the conductive layers have small impedances even if a high-frequency signal flows in the conductive layers.
Abstract:
The printed wiring board comprises, on at least one surface of an insulating film, a base metal layer and a conductive metal layer formed on the base metal layer, and is characterized in that in a section of the wiring board the bottom width of the conductive metal layer is smaller than the top width of the base metal layer. The circuit device comprises the printed wiring board and an electronic part mounted thereon. The process for producing a printed wiring board comprises bringing a base metal layer and a conductive metal layer into contact with an etching solution capable of dissolving the conductive metal to form a wiring pattern and then sequentially bringing the resultant into contact with a first treating solution capable of dissolving the metal for forming the base metal layer, a microetching solution capable of selectively dissolving the conductive metal and a second treating solution having a different chemical composition from the first treating solution in this order.
Abstract:
A circuit board includes a substrate having a heat exhausting function. A wiring layer of a metal composite material is provided on the substrate with an insulating layer in between. The metal composite material has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is greater than a coefficient of thermal expansion of a silicon semiconductor chip and less than a coefficient of thermal expansion of copper. Accordingly, a circuit board that is suitable for mounting power devices, requires no heat sink or heat spreader is provides. Further, the number of components for assembling a module is reduced.
Abstract:
An improved electrical printed circuit exhibiting a combination of enhanced solderability and outstanding adhesion with a dielectric substrate includes a stack of two different types of conductive films. The stack includes a first conductive film that is printed onto the substrate with an ink that has been specially formulated to achieve enhanced adhesion with the substrate, and a second film that is applied over the first film using an ink that has been specifically formulated to achieve enhanced solderability.
Abstract:
A composite substrate capable of suppressing a deformation of the substrate in response to the influence of internal stress of a conductive film is provided. When a conductive film is formed on a substrate, the conductive film is formed so as to have a laminated structure including a main conductive film which has a tensile stress FT as its internal stress F1 and a sub-conductive film which has a compressive stress FC as its internal stress F2. In this manner, the tensile stress FT of the main conductive film is offset by use of the compressive stress FC of the sub-conductive film. Thereby, unlike the case where the conductive film is formed so that only the main conductive film may be included without including the sub-conductive film, the substrate becomes less deformable in response to the influence of the internal stress F of the conductive film.

In general, a method according to the present invention comprises: (1) providing a flexible plastic substrate; (2) depositing a multi-layered conductive metallic film on the flexible plastic substrate by a thin-film deposition technique to form a composite film; and (3) collecting the composite film in continuous rolls.

Still another aspect of the invention is a composite film comprising InCeO—Ag—InCeO film formed on a flexible plastic substrate, wherein the composite film has a combination of properties including: transmittance of at least 90% throughout the visible region; an electrical resistance of no greater than about 10 &OHgr;/square; a root-mean-square roughness of no greater than about 2.5 nm; and an interlayer adhesion between the InCeO/Ag/InCeO metallic film and the remainder of the composite film that is sufficiently great to survive a 180° peel adhesion test.
Abstract:
A signal connector assembly with a plug contact within a plug having a high resistive portion. When the plug of the assembly first makes contact with the electrical receptacles within a mating receptacle, the high resistive portion prevents a current surge. As the plug is further inserted into the receptacle, the energy passing from the plug to the receptacle is gradually increased. Eventually, the receptacle contacts within the receptacle pass the high resistive portion and make contact with the conductive portion of the plug contact, thereby permitting transmission of valid signals without the generation of spurious errors.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thin film circuit board device having passive elements in wiring layers. The thin film circuit board device includes a base board (2) and a circuit part (3) including insulating layers (11) and (16) and pattern wiring (14) and (17) formed on a build-up forming surface (2a). On the first insulating layer (11), a receiving electrode part (21) is formed and the passive elements electrically connected to the receiving electrode part (21) are formed. In the circuit part (3), a substrate titanium film and a substrate film are laminated so as to cover the receiving electrode part (21) and the passive elements respectively. The substrate film and the substrate titanium film in areas in which a metallic film is not formed are etched through the metallic film serving as the first pattern wiring (14) formed on the substrate film as a mask. Thus, a substrate layer (23) and a substrate titanium layer (22) are formed. Consequently, the substrate titanium film serving as the substrate titanium layer (22) prevents the corrosion of the receiving electrode part and the respective passive elements due to etching liquid to form the passive elements with high performance.
