Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for connecting two joining surfaces, particularly in the field of semiconductors, wherein at least one joining surface is produced by depositing a layer comprising 20 to 40% gold and 80 to 60% silver onto a substrate and selectively removing the silver from the deposited layer in order to produce a nanoporous gold layer as a joining surface. The joining surface with the nanoporous gold layer and an additional joining surface are disposed one above the other and pressed together.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a first connector body having an interlocking feature extending therefrom. The interlocking feature interlocks the first connector body with a complimentary interlocking feature extending from an adjacent second connector body to distribute a lateral force on either the first or second connector bodies across the adjacent connector body thereby reducing a rotational moment at a base of each electrical connector connected to a printed circuit board (PCB).

An interconnect structure of an integrated circuit and manufacturing method therefor are provided, relating to an interconnect structure of flexible packaging. The interconnect structure includes a first and a second conductive pads. A plurality of tiny and conductive first pillars is respectively formed on the first and second pads. With different densities and thicknesses of the first and second pillars, a contact strength can be generated when the pillars interconnecting with each other, such that the pillars are connected closely. Furthermore, the interconnect structure can also be used to connect with fibers made of conductive materials. Moreover, the higher the density of the pillars, the stronger the contact strength. And, electronic substrates and active or passive electronic elements can be stuck on the other side of each pad. Therefore, the interconnect structure can maintain flexibility and have high reliability without being enhanced by any thermosetting polymer.

An elongated electrical cable or flexible circuit board includes an electrically conductive path and an insulating body encompassing and electrically isolating the conductive path, the insulating body including an exposed surface having an array of fastener elements extending therefrom, the fastener elements arranged and constructed to engage mating fastener elements associated with a supporting surface to selectively secure the cable or flexible circuit board to the supporting surface. The fastener elements can be loop-engageable fasteners and/or loops. Such a cable or flexible circuit board is continuously formed by introducing an electrical insulating material including a thermoplastic resin into a gap formed adjacent a peripheral surface of a rotating mold roll, the mold roll defining an array of cavities therein, the insulating material being introduced under pressure and temperature conditions selected to cause the insulating material to at least partially fill the cavities to form fastener element stems integrally with and extending from one broad side of a strip of said insulation material; while introducing conductive wires and/or a conductive path formed on or within a substrate to the gap so as to cause the insulating material to envelop and electrically isolate the conductive path and/or to cause the conductive path to become an integral part of the strip of insulation material from which the fastener element stems extend.
