The process may etch the first and third metal layers simultaneously or sequentially. After adhering an etched surface comprising the circuit design of the first or third metal layer in registration to a support layer to form a circuit board, an additional step may be performed, which additional step is selected from the group consisting of: a) adhering an etched surface of a second tri-metal subelement to a second surface of the support layer and b) adhering a second support layer to said third or first metal layer, respectively, and adhering an etched surface of a second tri-metal subelement to the second support layer. The registration between layers may be effected by visual, mechanical, optical or electronic systems with visually or mechanically readable registration marks, radiation through holes, and/or posts used for identifying positions of desired registration between layers.

    Abstract: A parallel capacitor structure capable of forming an internal part of a larger circuit board or the like structure to provide capacitance therefore. Alternatively, the capacitor may be used as an interconnector to interconnect two different electronic components (e.g., chip carriers, circuit boards, and even semiconductor chips) while still providing desired levels of capacitance for one or more of said components. The capacitor includes at least one internal conductive layer, two additional conductor layers added on opposite sides of the internal conductor, and inorganic dielectric material (preferably an oxide layer on the second conductor layer's outer surfaces or a suitable dielectric material such as barium titanate applied to the second conductor layers). Further, the capacitor includes outer conductor layers atop the inorganic dielectric material, thus forming a parallel capacitor between the internal and added conductive layers and the outer conductors.

    Abstract: A printed circuit is provided that is capable of operating at temperatures above 200.degree. C. A printed wiring board has a plating scheme of Tin plating over sulfamate nickel plated over copper. The materials are electroplated in the pattern of the desired circuit. The copper provides a conductive material for carrying electrical current. The sulfamate nickel is a ductile material that serves as a barrier between the copper and the Tin and is able to maintain its strength under temperatures of above 200.degree. C. The Tin is compatible with the new solder compound that is used to solder electrical components to the board. The solder compound is comprised of Tin and Silver. This solder has a higher initial melting point than traditional Tin/Lead solders but has a lower solder reflow temperature than conventional HMP solder compounds. This new solder is also stronger than conventional HMP solder and contains virtually no Lead component. A multilayer printed circuit is also provided that has a "Pads Only" design in which only the pads and short runs connecting to vias are allowed on the outer layers of the board. All power and signal runs are restricted to the inner layers of the board. This design has the advantage of protecting the runs in a high temperature environment and results in a more reliable assembly. The multilayer circuit uses the same plating scheme as in the above-described printed circuit.

The arrangement comprises a circuit board, at least one power component and a heat sink. A plurality of through contacts are introduced into the circuit board, and a plurality of conductive tracks are disposed on first and second surfaces of the circuit board. The plurality of conductive tracks include two large-surface conductive tracks, one on each surface of the circuit board. One or more power components are surface-mounted on a first surface of the circuit board on a first large-surface conductive track. The second large-surface conductive track is thermally coupled to the first large-surface conductive track and to the heat sink. A layer of metal, preferably copper, may be disposed between the second large-surface conductive track and the heat sink, and a layer of glass cloth may be disposed between the second large-surface conductive track and the layer of metal.

    Abstract: An improved circuit board material having a support layer, an electrical resistance layer and a conductive layer. The circuit board material has a resistance of at least about 500 ohms/square. The circuit board material is formed by electro-plating the electrical resistance layer on the conductive layer. The conductive layer is desirably activated prior to electro-deposition of the electrical resistance layer thereon. The conductive layer is activated by contacting with an activating agent such as benzotriazole electrolytic chromate and the like. A preferred electro-plating bath for electro-deposition of the electrical resistance layer comprises about 0.5 mole per liters nickel hypophosphite. The disclosed electro-plating bath functions at ambient temperatures and is effectively temperature independent. Circuit boards can be formed from the circuit board material through a process involving only two etching steps.
