Abstract:
To provide a component mounting substrate and a component mounting structure which absorb stresses caused by impact or by the difference in the thermal extension coefficient between substrate and component, without increasing the required accuracy in soldering the substrate and the component together. The substrate, which is to be mounted with a component having one or more solder joints via which the component is connected to the substrate, has a depressed part thereof formed on its component side, on which one or more electrodes are provided to be closely joined with the solder joints. The depressed part is filled with a filling material with rigidity different from that of a material making up the substrate body, such that the filling material is flush or almost flush with the surface of the component side of the substrate.
Abstract:
A land grid array (LGA) interposer structure, including an electrically insulating carrier plane, and at least one interposer mounted on a first surface of said carrier plane. The interposer possesses a hemi-toroidal configuration in transverse cross-section and is constituted of a dielectric elastomeric material. A plurality of electrically-conductive elements are arranged about the surface of the at least one hemi-toroidal interposer and extend radically inwardly and downwardly from an uppermost end thereof into electrical contact with at least one component located on an opposite side of the electrically insulating carrier plane. Provided is also a method of producing the land grid array interposer structure.

Abstract:
A wiring substrate of a semiconductor component includes: an underside with a wiring structure; a top side with cutouts; a rubber-elastic material arranged in the cutouts; and external contact pads arranged on the rubber-elastic material and configured to be coupled to external contacts. A method for producing a wiring substrate of this type, involves pressing the rubber-elastic material pads into a precursor of a polymer plastic during the production process.

Abstract:
A method for encapsulating an assembly with a methyl phenyl silicone rubber compound is provided. In various embodiments, the method can include exposing the assembly to a solvent, plasma etching the assembly, and producing a potting mixture, wherein the potting mixture comprises a methyl phenyl room temperature vulcanization silicone and a curing agent. The method can further include pouring the potting mixture over the assembly while under a vacuum until the assembly is encapsulated, pouring at least two control samples of the potting mixture while under the vacuum, curing the encapsulated assembly and the control samples in a first environment and monitoring the one of the control samples for hardness, and determining whether additional cure time in the first environment is needed based upon the results of the control sample hardness tests.
Abstract:
Applicant has proposed a combination of the subretinal and epiretinal methods by placing the electronics external to the eye, entering the eye through the pars plana and the piercing the retina (retinotomy) from inside the eye to stimulate subreintally. The present invention is an improved electrode array for subretinal stimulation. A hard polymer such as polyimide is biocompatible and strong for supporting an electrode array and supporting traces in a thin flex circuit array. In the present invention applicant takes advantage of the sharp nature of thin polyimide making a point on the end of the electrode array. This allows the flexible circuit electrode array to be both electrode array and surgical tool to cut the retinal and slide the array under the retina in a single action.
