Abstract:
A first signal routing layer may be formed on a first surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). An array of interconnections may formed on the first surface of the PCB, the array of interconnections comprising at least one padless via formed within the PCB, the at least one padless via extending from the first signal routing layer to at least one conductive plane and/or a second signal routing layer. The at least one padless via may be in electrical contact with the at least one conductive plane and/or a conductive trace on the second signal routing layer. A component may be attached to the PCB, with a solder interconnection between the at least one padless via and a contact pad on a bottom surface of the component. The component may be, for example, an electronic component such as a ball grid array (BGA) component or a leadless surface mount component.

Improve the productivity and cost for the manufacturing of a semiconductor device referred to as a wafer level CSP. The manufacturing method for a semiconductor device related to this invention contains each of the processes that form a wiring (18) for the purpose of electrically connecting each electrode pad (10a) and external connecting terminals on top of a wafer (10) on which semiconductor elements are formed, connect conductive balls that are preformed by a separate process on top of this, and next, cover the above-mentioned wafer with a resin (32) such that the upper portion of the conductive supporting posts (30) are exposed. In a later process, solder balls (34) are arranged as external connecting terminals on the upper portion of the conductive supporting posts, and in the final process, semiconductor elements are formed by dicing the above-mentioned wafer along the boundary lines of the above-mentioned semiconductor elements.
Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit board of the present invention directly relays connecting portions of a magnetic head placed on a suspension to connecting portions of a base end of a carriage arm in a head suspension assembly of a magnetic disk apparatus. The flexible printed circuit board includes a laminate composed of at least a base layer, a plurality of conductive circuits formed on the base layer, a cover layer covering the conductive circuits, and a conductive polymer layer formed in the insulating material portion in the surface of the laminate. The flexible printed circuit board includes a stainless layer below the base layer or on a lower side of the conductive polymer layer on the base layer side. More preferably, in the magnetic head connecting portion, the cover layer is not formed, and on the base layer in the magnetic head connecting portion, a conductive polymer layer is formed, whereas on the plurality of conductive circuits in the magnetic head connecting portion, the conductive polymer layer is not present or is substantially absent, if any, to such a degree as to allow the magnetic head to be electrically connected to the conductive circuits.

The connection component includes (1) a first interposer having a first surface to which a microelectronic may be mounted and a second surface opposite from the first surface, (2) a second interposer that is more flexible than the first interposer and that is disposed under the second surface of the rigid interposer, and (3) a plurality of conductive parts that may be positioned in the first and second interposers and that may be exposed at the first surface of the first interposer, a bottom surface of the second interposer, or both the first and bottom surfaces. The electrically conductive parts may include leads. A socket assembly or a microelectronic element such as semiconductor chip may be mounted onto the first surface of the rigid interposer. The connection component may be mounted onto a support substrate.
Abstract:
A device and method for insuring the separation between a leadless chip carrier and printed wiring board, comprising aligning and attaching conductive pedestals to contact pads of either member and embedding the pedestals into the solder columns which are used to provide electrical connection. The conductive pedestals are comprised of an electrically conducting metal, solder, alloy or composite which will also provide thermal dissipation in selected designs.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a copper ball insertion machine, for integrating metal inserts in via holes provided through a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising a motor driven X-Y table (2) with the PCB on top. The X-Y table (2) is adjustable to position a selected via hole in a predetermined location aligned with a closable outlet opening (12) of a movable container (6) for metal inserts. The container is by means of a clamping cylinder (28) displaceable for clamping the part of the PCB adjacent said via hole against the working surface (2) of said X-Y table. By means of a pivoting cylinder (20) the container is rotatable for feeding one metal insert through the outlet opening (12) into said via hole. A stamp (30) is drivable by a hammer cylinder (40) for compressing said metal insert to shape and deform it into a tight fit with the via hole.

Abstract:
A printed wiring board has a circuit substrate 6 having a conductor circuit 5 and a through hole 60, and also has a joining pin 1 inserted into the through hole. The joining pin is manufactured by using a material unmelted at a heating temperature in joining the joining pin to an opposite party pad 81. The joining pin is constructed by a joining head portion 11 having a greater diameter than an opening diameter of the through hole. The joining pin forms a joining portion for joining and connection to the opposite party pad. The joining pin has a leg portion 12 having a diameter smaller than the through hole. The leg portion is inserted into the through hole and is joined to the through hole by a conductive material such as a soldering material 20, etc. In lieu of a joining pin, a joining ball approximately having a spherical shape can be joined to the through hole by the conductive material.
