Abstract:
The present invention relates to a packaging substrate with electrostatic discharge protection. Each of the mold gates on the substrate is electrically connected to the first copper-mesh layer on the periphery of a top side of the substrate. When static electricity is generated during the molding process, static electric charges will be conducted from the mold gate to the first copper-mesh layer. The static electric charges are collected and restricted to a capacitor formed by a first copper-mesh layer, a dielectric layer and a second copper-mesh layer, and are discharged via a metal pad and supporter. On the other hand, the static electric charge is conducted via the first copper-mesh layer, a through hole, the second copper-mesh layer, the metal pad to the supporter. Therefore, basing on capacitor effects or conductive effects, the static electricity generated during the molding process can be safely conducted away from the substrate, preventing the dies to be packaged from damage due to electrostatic discharge so as to raise the yield rate of semiconductor package products.
Abstract:
Power and ground planes used in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) having porous, conductive materials allow liquids (e.g., water and/or other solvents) to pass through the power and ground planes, thus decreasing failures in PCBs (or PCBs used as laminate chip carriers) caused by cathodic/anodic filament growth and delamination of insulators. Porous conductive materials suitable for use in PCBs may be formed by using metal-coated organic cloths (such as polyester or liquid crystal polymers) or fabrics (such as those made from carbon/graphite or glass fibers), using metal wire mesh instead of metal sheets, using sintered metal, or making metal sheets porous by forming an array of holes in the metal sheets. Fabrics and mesh may be woven or random. If an array of holes is formed in a metal sheet, such an array may be formed with no additional processing steps than are performed using conventional PCB assembly methods.

An opening is provided in the ground metal layer to reach the substrate. A radio wave receiving converter and an antenna device each include the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
Mesh holes 35a and 59a of upper solid layers 35 and upper solid layers 59 are formed to overlie on one another, so that the insulating properties of interlayer resin insulating layers 50 are not lowered. Here, the diameter of each mesh hole is preferably 75 to 300 nullm. The reason is as follows. If the diameter of the mesh hole is less than 75 nullm, it is difficult to overlay the upper and lower mesh holes on one another. If the diameter exceeds 300 nullm, the insulating properties of the interlayer resin insulating layers deteriorate. In addition, the distance between the mesh holes is preferably 100 to 2000 nullm. The reason is as follows. If the distance is less than 100 nullm, the solid layer cannot function. If the distance exceeds 2000 nullm, the deterioration of the insulating properties of the interlayer resin insulating film occurs.
Abstract:
In connecting a connecting substrate 4 to a flexible substrate 5 connected to a terminal portion of one of substrates constituting a liquid crystal display panel through an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) 20, a bonding assist member 17 formed of the same material as that of an internal wiring or a connecting terminal of the connecting substrate and having substantially the same height as that of the connecting terminal is provided between adjacent terminal groups each including a plurality of connecting terminals 4b in a terminal forming region of a non-coating portion 14 in the vicinity of the connecting substrate 4, to absorb a difference in height between the terminal groups and the non-coating portion by the bonding assist member 17 to thereby make the ACF in an intimate contact with the terminal groups as well as the exposed regions uniformly throughout thereof during a temporary press-bonding step of the ACF and prevent a peeling-off and/or breakage of the ACF between the terminal groups and improve the reliability of electrical connection.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a multilayer electronics packaging structure, especially for use in a multi chip module. By forming an overlap of signal conductors by the respective mesh conductors, an improved shielding effect is achieved and coupling between signal conductors is reduced. By increasing the via punch pitch such that multiple wiring channels are formed between adjacent vias, wirability is improved and the number of signal distribution layers may be reduced. The new structure thus shows improved electrical properties over the state-of-the-art structures, combined with a cost reduction of about 35%.
Abstract:
An organic land grid array having multiple built up layers of metal sandwiching non-conductive layers, having a staggered pattern of degassing holes in the metal layers. The staggered pattern occurs in two substantially perpendicular directions. Traces between the metal layers have reduced impedance variation due to the degassing hole pattern.
Abstract:
A flexible circuit board with specific shielding planes is used for low voltage differential transmission mode circuits. Both the impedance and the transmission time for the transmission line in the circuit board are controlled by shielding planes with varied void opening patterns. Capacitance and slow wave effects related to the combination of void opening patterns and the location configuration related to locations of void opening patterns are used to improve the impedance and transmission timing for the transmission line in the circuit board.
