Abstract:
An insulation layer is formed on a ground layer. The insulation layer includes first and second regions for forming wiring layers. The impedance of a wiring layer formed on the second region is lower than that of a wiring layer formed on the first region. A signal line pattern is formed on the wiring layer on the first region of the insulation layer. A power supply plane is formed on the wiring layer on the second region of the insulation layer in order to feed power to the signal line pattern through a termination resistor connected to the signal line pattern.
Abstract:
To provide a semiconductor package mounting method, with excellent work efficiency, wherein the direction of a semiconductor package can be verified by a simple method before mounting. One corner of a square shaped display section provided on the surface of a semiconductor package body is chamfered such that the chamfer dimensions are different from those of the other corners. If image recognition by a camera determines that this chamfered part is located correctly, the orientation of a semiconductor package is determined to be correct. On the other hand, if image recognition determines that it is not located correctly, the orientation of the semiconductor package is adjusted until it is correct.

A novel method and apparatus for indicating a degree of manufacture of an insert molded component useable in an end use assembly by forming a removable appendage protruding from the insert molded component, or article, manufactured to an intermediate degree, the insert molded component having a lead frame at least partially embedded in a molded housing member, and the removable appendage coupled to at least one or both of the lead frame and the molded housing member, the lead frame having at least two electrical conductors coupled separably by a tie member, the removable appendage removable upon or after electrical isolation of the electrical conductors in a subsequent processing step, whereby the presence of the removable appendage is indicative that the electrical conductors are not electrically isolated, or that the insert molded component has not been tested or inspected subsequent to electrical isolation of the electrical conductors, and whereby the removable appendage is configured to prevent use of the article manufactured to the intermediate degree in the end use assembly.
Abstract:
A substrate for an integrated circuit package is provided. The substrate includes a first dielectric layer with a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The first dielectric layer has a bottom surface and an inner side surface. The inner side surface defines a first aperture. The substrate also includes a conductive pad having a bottom surface and a side surface. The side surface of the conductive pad engages the inner side surface of the first dielectric layer. The substrate further includes a second dielectric layer having a second coefficient of thermal expansion closely matching the first coefficient of thermal expansion. The second dielectric layer is deposited upon the bottom surface of the first dielectric layer and upon a first portion of the bottom surface of the conductive pad. The first portion of the bottom surface of the conductive pad is adjacent to the side surface of the conductive pad.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing serialization of printed circuit boards and flex circuits during the normal process of manufacture of the boards and circuits is disclosed and includes a print module which prints the serializing information on the surface of the photoresist material with a fluid, which blocks the passage of ultraviolet radiation, before the photoresist material is exposed to ultraviolet radiation through the photomask. If a negative-acting photoresist material is used, the serializing information is reverse printed on the surface of the negative-acting photoresist material. If a positive-acting photoresist material is used, the serializing information is printed on the surface of the positive-acting photoresist material.

An electronic circuit assembly includes a printed cirucit base plate, an electronic circuit element, a spacer and a coating resin. The electronic circuit element includes an IC housing and a plurality of lead pins. The plurality of lead pins are electrically connected and secured to the printed circuit base plate such that the IC housing is spaced apart from the printed circuit base plate. The spacer is located between the printed circuit base plate and the IC housing. The coating resin coats the printed circuit base plate, a portion of the spacer and a portion of the lead pins of the electronic circuit element.
Abstract:
In the manufacturing process for a printed wiring board a photopolymer insulation layer having a flat outer plateau surface is extended from the board substrate surface carrying the wiring pattern and provides access channels to a plurality of wiring pattern conductor pad areas. A patterned conductor layer disposed on the insulation layer surface including the sidewalls of the access channels thus electrically connects to the conductor pad areas. Circuit wiring pattern test current or plating currents are passed through the conductor layer pattern during the manufacturing process, and the conductor layer may thereafter be easily removed from the flat surface by sanding or the like. Permanently retained conductor layer portions, such as feasible by indenting the plateau surface, aid in expanding conductor surface areas at solder joint pads, or in increasing the density of circuit wires feasible in a given substrate board area. The conductor layer may provide indicia marking nomenclature patterns which are in dot matrix format to reduce capacitance coupling between wiring circuits on the board substrate.
Abstract:
High resolution, high packing density printed circuit wiring with high conductivity wiring is achieved by putting down thick (0.006 in., 0.015 cm) liquid photopolymer insulator layers on an inexpensive substrate and photodeveloping conductor pattern indentations in the layer for filling with conductive materials. Thus, 0.003 in. (0.008 cm) line to line spacings can be achieved with high conductivity conductors 0.006 in. (0.015 cm) thick. A flush top layer of polymer is readily cleaned of contaminants by light surface sanding to assure designed insulation spacings of polymer between conductors without interfering smears. The finished circuits are not subject to damage in handling from surface scratches since the conductors are indented.
