    Abstract: A microelectronic package comprises a tubular housing and a microelectronic assembly affixed to a support that is received in the housing. The support may be a cage-like structure that comprises axial ribs to which the microelectronic assembly is attached. Alternately, the support may comprise a solid surface for affixing a flexible substrate. The microelectronic assembly is arranged with a major surface facing and spaced apart from the inner wall of the housing. Thus, the microelectronic assembly is proximate to the wall to provide an optimum volume for packaging other components. Movement, the spacing between the microelectronic assembly and the tubular housing facilitates coolant gas flow during use to enhance thermal dissipation.

    Abstract: A novel technique utilizing the precision of printed circuit board design and the physical versatility of thin, flexible substrates is disclosed to produce a new type of ion reflector. A precisely defined series of thin conductive strips (traces) are etched onto a flat, flexible circuit board substrate. Preferably, the thin conductive strips are further apart at one end of the substrate and get increasingly closer towards the other end of the substrate. The flexible substrate is then rolled into a tube to form the reflector body, with the conductive strips forming the rings of the ion reflector. The spacing between the traces, and hence the ring spacing, can be readily varied by adjusting the conductor pattern on the substrate sheet during the etching process. By adjusting the spacing between the rings, the characteristics of the field created by the reflectron can be easily customized to the needs of the user.

    Abstract: A method for making an RF device, such as an antenna, having a non-planar shape with a high degree of accuracy includes the steps of forming an electrical conductor pattern on a flexible substrate, and positioning the flexible substrate onto the mold having the non-planar shape so that the electrical conductor pattern is exposed. The method also includes forming a rigid layer on the flexible substrate so that the exposed electrical conductor pattern will be transferred to the rigid layer upon separation from the flexible substrate. The rigid layer is separated from the flexible substrate with the electrical conductor pattern remaining on the rigid layer. The method preferably further includes forming an additional thickness of conductive material onto the electrical conductor pattern remaining on the rigid layer. The electrical conductor pattern may be a metal pattern which may be printed onto the substrate. In other embodiments, the electrical conductor pattern on the flexible substrate may be replaced by a seed material that will later be receptive to metal deposition to the define the conductive portions.

    Abstract: A three dimensional multi-layer circuit structure is formed by partially etching a foil having a coating. A pre-circuit is formed by providing a metal foil, applying a photodefinable photoresist to each side of the metal foil, selectively exposing and developing the photoresist leaving exposed areas and unexposed areas and, plating the unexposed areas with a second metal. The pre-circuit is placed in an etching solution and removed after the etching solution partially etches the metal foil to undercut the second metal. The partially etched pre-circuit is then bent into a predetermined shape. The partially etched pre-circuit is then inserted into a mold cavity so that at least one surface of the circuit structure is adjacent to the mold. The mold is filled with a polymer resin so that the polymer resin encapsulates at least a portion of the partially etched pre-circuit and substantially fills the undercut. The molded circuit structure is then removed from the mold and the metallic foil is further etched to complete the forming of the circuit.

    Abstract: Parts having complexly curved, frequency selective surfaces can be manufactured with a high degree of precision using a three-dimensional conformal mask. The mask has a transparent substrate and a patterned opaque layer on the substrate. The layer may be patterned by laser ablation. Alternatively, the patterning of the opaque layer can be accomplished by applying a layer of photosensitive material over the opaque layer and then defining temporary and permanent areas thereof. The temporary areas of the photosensitive layer and the opaque layer are removed sequentially to define the transparent portions of the mask. Parts are made by intimately mating the mask and a part body to which a layer of metal and a layer of photosensitive material have been applied, and exposing the part to radiation through the mask. The exposed part is then chemically developed, the layer of metal is etched, and the remainder of the layer of photosensitive material is removed to complete the patterning of the part body surface. The mask is preferably made using a high precision laser etch system to sharply define the transparent portions of the mask and maximize the precision of the patterning on the subsequently made parts.
