Abstract:
A hybrid structure of multi-layer substrates comprises a first multi-layer substrate and a second multi-layer substrate. The first multi-layer substrate stacks up first metal layers, first dielectric layers alternately and has VIAs. A border district of a first metal layer connects with a border district of the corresponding first dielectric layer. The border districts are separated from adjacent first metal layers and adjacent first dielectric layers. The second multi-layer substrate stacks up second metal layers and second dielectric layers alternately. A border district of a second metal layer connects with a border district of the corresponding second dielectric layer. The border districts are separated from adjacent second metal layers and adjacent second dielectric layers. The VIAs are located at the border districts of the first dielectric layers and each VIA has electric conductor therein to connect one first metal layer with one second metal layer.
Abstract:
A process is described for form locking joining of two components through plastic deformation of one of the two components. In order for the tool for forming the form locking connection not to get in direct contact with the plasticized area of the joining partners, a third component between the tool and the two components to be joined through form locking is being used, which simultaneously enters into an adhesive bond with one of the two components to be joined through form locking. The thermal energy for creating the plastic state of one of the joining partners and for developing the adhesive bond is applied through electromagnetic radiation through the third component.

A method for connecting a flexible printed circuit (FPC) with a flexible circuitry component containing conducting wires is disclosed. The flexible circuitry component has an uncovered conducting portion. The proposed method includes providing a tenon and a holder with a groove corresponding to the tenon; and utilizing the tenon to wedge the uncovered conducting portion of the flexible circuitry component and a connecting region of the FPC in the groove of the holder to cause that the uncovered conducting portion contacts the connecting region.

Abstract:
A packaged semiconductor chip including the chip, and a package element such as a heat sink is made by connecting flexible leads between contacts on the chip and terminals on a dielectric element such as a sheet or plate and moving the sheet or plate away from the chip, and injecting a liquid material to form a compliant layer filling the space between the package element and the dielectric element, and surrounding the leads. The dielectric element and package element extend outwardly beyond the edges of the chip, and physically protect the chip. The assembly may be handled and mounted by conventional surface mounting techniques. The assembly may include additional circuit elements such as capacitors used in conjunction with the chip.

An apparatus and method for providing three-dimensional carrier mounting of one or more electronic components. In accordance with one embodiment, the device mounting apparatus of the present invention includes an elastically resilient plastic substrate having component mounting surfaces in at least two dimensions. At least one press-fit component insertion cavity is disposed within the component mounting surfaces to provide compressive retention of the electronic component when press-fit into the cavity. Preferably, the cavity has a depth such that when the component is press-fit, it does not extend above the surface plane of the cavity. The insertion cavity is further characterized as including at least one conductive trace disposed on an inner surface of said insertion cavity and positioned on the insertion cavity surface such that the conductive trace contacts at least one lead of the electronic device retained within the insertion cavity.
Abstract:
Lands formed on a flexible printed circuit board are electrically connected with lands formed on a rigid printed circuit board through solder. At this point, solder resist is formed between neighboring two lands on the rigid printed circuit board, and is terminated with an end portion that is interposed between the rigid printed circuit board and the flexible printed circuit board. Accordingly, even when surplus solder is extruded onto the rigid printed circuit board, the solder resist can prevent solder bridges from being formed between the lands.
Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit board is robust to a repeated twisting and consists of a minute circuit printed on a flexible insulated material sheet, and has the bent parts of the opposite edges symmetrical in structure. The bent parts are straightened out when twisting occurs. In the flexible printed circuit board, the opposite edges are longer in length than the middle part such that the tensile deformation at the opposite edges at the time of twisting does not occur or is minimized.
