Abstract:
A manufacturing process of a high thermal conducting circuit substrate is provided. First, a metal core substrate is provided and then the metal core substrate is etched at different etching speeds. Afterwards, two insulating layers are formed respectively on two sides of the etched metal core substrate. In addition, as an option, two conducting layers are formed respectively on two sides of the metal core substrate and are on top of the insulting layers. The conducting layers are patterned according to designs appropriate for the products. Because the high thermal conducting circuit substrate fabricated as the aforementioned manufacturing process mainly comprises the metal core substrate, it helps to elevate the thermal conduction of the circuit substrate itself.

A method for fabricating an electrical connection structure of a circuit board is proposed. The circuit board is provided with a plurality of pads on a surface thereof and with a plurality of conductive structures therein for electrically connecting the pad. A plurality of openings is formed penetrating through an insulating layer provided on the circuit board to expose the pad. Subsequently, a conductive base is attached to one surface of the circuit board for electrically connecting the pad. By such arrangement, a conductive material can be formed on the pad located on the other surface of the circuit board by an electroplating process via the conductive base, the pad on the surface, and the conductive structure within the circuit board.
Abstract:
A circuit assembly containing a surface mount (SM) IC package wire bonded to a substrate and configured to conduct heat from the package into a heat sink through a heat-conducting member instead of the substrate. The package contains an IC device with input/output pads on a surface thereof that are connected with leads to conductors on the substrate. The heat sink is located adjacent the package so as not to be separated from the package by the substrate. The heat-conducting member is positioned adjacent the surface of the device opposite its input/output pads, and is bonded to the device and heat sink to provide a heat path between the package and heat sink that does not pass through the substrate.
Abstract:
A hybrid integrated circuit fabrication method in which an insulating substrate member and its metallic substrate carrier are made to be mating with precision through use of computer controlled machining performed on each member. A combination of disclosed specifically tailored software and commercially available software are used in the method to generate code for controlling a precision milling machine during the fabrication of substrate and substrate carrier members. The method for precision mating of substrate and substrate carrier enable disposition of a precision recess in the substrate carrier and the location of recess pillars and pedestals (the latter being for integrated circuit die mounting use) at any carrier recess location desirable for electrical, thermal or physical strength reasons. Enhanced electrical thermal and physical properties are achieved in hybrid devices fabricated according to the method especially when compared with devices and methods having the limited availability of comparable elements afforded by previous hybrid fabrication arrangements.

Abstract:
A bottom heat dissipating device may be attached to a bottom surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). A top surface of the bottom heat dissipating device may be thermally coupled with a backside surface of one or more electronic components mounted on the bottom surface of the PCB. A top heat dissipating device may be attached to a top surface of the PCB. The top heat dissipating device may be thermally coupled with the bottom heat dissipating device through a thermally conductive coupling member to provide a conductive path for heat transfer from the bottom heat dissipating device to the top heat dissipating device. An opening adjacent to an edge of the thermally conductive coupling member may allow air flow between the top and bottom heat dissipating devices. The PCB may be part of a mezzanine card, such as a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) mezzanine card (PMC).
