Abstract:
A method for fabricating a ground-ball bonding structure on a TBGA package is proposed, which is characterized by the forming of a plurality of air vents around the ground-ball pad and cut all the way into the tape until reaching the bottommost surface of the tape. During solder-reflow process, this allows the trapped air in the via hole due to solder material being filled into the via hole to the outside atmosphere during solder-reflow process. Compared to the prior art, since the proposed method allows substantially no air-filled voids to be left in the via hole, the resulted ground ball would be fully collapsed against the heat sink and therefore coplanarized with respect to the signal ball. The coplanarity of the overall ball grid array would allow the TBGA package to be mounted properly onto a printed circuit board during SMT (Surface Mount Technology) process. In addition, the proposed method allows a reliable bonding between the ground ball and the heat sink thus assuring the grounding effect of the resulted TBGA package.

It is an object to provide an electrode structure of a carrier substrate of a semiconductor device in which the strength and the reliability of the joint portion between an electrode of a semiconductor package and an electrode of a main substrate are improved. A soldering land (103) that is an electrode of a carrier substrate (102) is hemispheric having a concentric hemispheric face hollow portion thereinside, a flange portion is provided in the circumferential portion thereof, and the outer diameter of the flange portion corresponds to the outer diameter of the conventional cylinder. Two slits (104) are provided in the flange portion and parts of a wall surface adjacent to the flange portion for venting air. A hemispheric face recess is provided in the carrier substrate (102) toward an outer surface, and the soldering land (103) is fixedly attached to the carrier substrate (102) so that the soldering land (103) is fitted into the recess and the flange portion abuts the outer surface of the carrier substrate.

A circuit board device suppress with a small number of terminal elements unwanted irradiation originating between a power supply layer and a ground layer, even when a configuration of the power supply layer and the ground layer on the circuit board is complex, and a design support device thereof. The circuit board device has a power supply layer and a ground layer disposed in opposition to one another. A dielectric is disposed between the power supply layer and the ground layer. A power supply surface is divided into two power supply surfaces and by a slit having a generally T-shaped configuration to form power supply surface edges. The power supply surface edges retain across a predetermined length L a characteristic impedance present between the power supply layer and the ground layer. A terminal load is connected to a terminal portion of the power supply surface edges.

A ceramic substrate (1) has two side surfaces (64, 65) in a lengthwise direction (X) and two side surfaces (66, 67) in a widthwise direction Y intersecting each other, and is also provided with at least one flat surface (68) in a thicknesswise direction (Z). Internal electrode films (2 to 11) are embedded in the ceramic substrate (1) with film surfaces thereof extending roughly parallel to the flat surface (68) of the ceramic substrate (1). External electrodes (44, 55) are each provided on the flat surface (68) of the ceramic substrate (1) toward one of the two ends of the ceramic substrate (1) in the lengthwise direction (X), are electrically continuous with the internal electrode films (2 to 11) and are formed over distances (d11, d12) and (d21, d22) from the two side surfaces (66, 67) in the widthwise direction (Y).
Abstract:
A connecting terminal assembly, including a covering tape heat-sealed to a mount base so as to cover a number of connecting terminals received in recessed portions of the mount base, is mounted to a surface mounter. Each connecting terminal has two fixed-contact sections, and a central section thereof having leg portions vertically extending from inner ends of the fixed-contact sections and a major portion extending between upper ends of the leg portions. Free-contact sections extend from outer ends of the fixed-contact sections vertically of and longitudinally in an inward direction of the connecting terminal. While the covering tape is being peeled off, each of the connecting terminals received in the recessed portions of the mount base is picked up at its major portion by suction and transferred to be positioned on a first printed circuit board at a desired position and with a desired orientation, by mean of a suction nozzle of the mounter. The connecting terminal having its fixed-contact sections separated by the central section is electrically connected to conductor portions of the circuit board, without being displaced on molten solder. By pressing a second printed circuit board against the free-contact sections to flex them, electrical connection is established therebetween with a sufficient contact pressure.
