Abstract:
A circuit package includes a substrate having an opening and a single unitary heat sink adapted to effectively dissipate heat is positioned in the opening to expose top and bottom surfaces which are respectively coplanar with top and bottom surfaces of the substrate. Selective plating includes applying first and second metal patterns to a substrate surface, creating a potential voltage difference between the first metal pattern and a metal source, and plating the first metal pattern by attracting a first metal type to the voltage potential of the first metal pattern. The voltage potential of the first metal pattern is less than the voltage potential of the metal source.
Abstract:
Construction of printed circuit boards (PCBs) containing electromagnetic shielding and conductive tubes forming signal lines and/or waveguides. The method of construction calls for forming of grooves through layers of the PCB and coating the interior surfaces of these grooves with conductive material. These conductor-coated groove walls serve as conductive surfaces between embedded conductive surfaces on different layers. The conductive surfaces thus joined form a continuous electrically conductive surface that can be configured to act as an electromagnetic shield. Such conductive surfaces may be configured with internal conductors to act as a signal line, or without internal conductors to act as a waveguide.

Abstract:
A circuit board adapted to a fan comprises a circuit region and a heat-dissipative film. The circuit region is provided on a first surface of the circuit board and comprises at least one heat-generating component thereon. The heat-dissipative film is coated on an edge portion of the first surface and is in contact with the heat-generating component. A plurality of openings through the heat-dissipative film, a protrusion of the circuit board, a cutout in the protrusion to expose the heat-generating component to airflow, etc., have been disclosed and claimed for enhancing the efficiency in heat dissipation. A heat sink may also be provided on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the circuit board. The heat sink is connected to the heat-dissipative film to help dissipate the heat generated by the operation of the fan.

Abstract:
A method and structures with an EMI shielding electrically conductive coating are provided for implementing EMI shielding for rigid cards and flexible circuits. An EMI shielding electrically conductive coating is deposited on an outer layer, for example, using a vacuum sputtering deposition, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. A solder mask is applied. Mechanically cleaning removes the sputtered copper coating in areas of the outer layer that are not protected by the solder mask.

There is described a multi-layer printed circuit board and a method of installing it. The circuit board includes a first signal layer formed on its obverse surface; a ground layer arranged at a position next to the first signal layer; an electronic power source layer arranged at a position next to the ground layer; and a second signal layer formed on its reverse surface.

The present invention is characterized in that in a metal-core multilayer printed wiring board (1) which is obtained by forming one or more of at least inner layers of a laminate having a insulating layer and a conductor layer stacked alternately from a metal plate and has the metal plate as a core, the metal plate (13) is disposed below a site on which a heating element (10) is to be mounted, a surface layer over which the heating element (10) is to be mounted is connected to the metal plate (13) of the inner layer via a BVH (12) and a heat radiation layer (14) is formed over the surface layer. The present invention makes it possible to efficiently radiate heat, which has been released from the heating element, to the outside of the printed wiring board without impairing the packaging density of circuits and at the same time, to mount another element on the side opposite to the side on which the heating element exists.
