Abstract:
A first board, on which electric wires are wired, includes a first part having a first thickness and a second part continued from the first part and having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness. A second board, on which bus bars are arranged, is disposed on the second part of the first board. The second board has a third thickness which is determined such that an additional thickness of the second thickness and the third thickness is not greater than the first thickness.
Abstract:
A light emitting diode (LED) package for high temperature operation which includes a printed wire board and a heat sink. The LED package may include a formed heat sink layer, which may be thermally coupled to an external heat sink. The printed wire board may include apertures that correspond to the heat sink such that the heat sink is integrated with the printed wire board layer. The LED package may include castellations for mounting the package on a secondary component such as a printed wire board. The LED package may further comprise an isolator disposed between a base metal layer and one or more LED die. Optionally, the LED die may be mounted directly on a base metal layer. The LED package may include a PWB assembly having a stepped cavity, in which one or more LED die are disposed. The LED package is advantageously laminated together using a pre-punched pre-preg material or a pressure sensitive adhesive.
Abstract:
A multilayer circuit board is provided with at least one signal layer, at least one feedback layer, and at least one dielectric layer positioned between the signal layer and the feedback layer. The signal layer is connected to at least one plated hole. The feedback layer has a contact pad, which is positioned adjacent to the plated hole, but is electrically isolated from the plated hole. The contact pad is connected to a measurement unit. The dielectric layer is positioned between the signal layer and the contact pad of the feedback layer. A portion of the plated hole forms a stub portion, which extends a distance away from the signal layer and typically extends a distance away from the contact pad of the feedback layer. To remove the stub portion, a hole is bored or routed into the multilayer circuit board until electrical feedback is received by the measurement unit upon contact of a portion of the boring device with the contact pad. Upon receipt of the electrical feedback by the measurement unit, the boring device is retracted from the hole, and the hole formed by the boring device is filled with an epoxy, or other filler material.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a circuit carrier for connecting to at least a bump. The circuit carrier comprises a substrate, at least a contact pad on a surface of the substrate and a solder mask layer covering the substrate. The solder mask has at least a stepped opening that exposes a portion of the contact pad. The stepped opening includes at least a first opening and a second opening and the size of the first opening is larger than that of the second opening. The stepped opening of the solder mask layer can contain more pre-solder paste, thus increasing the bonding strength between the bump and the contact pad.
Abstract:
A method of making a printed circuit board in which conductive thru-holes are formed within two dielectric layers of the board's structure so as to connect designated conductive layers. One hole connects two adjacent layers and the other connects two adjacent layers, including one of the conductive layers connected by the other hole. It is also possible to connect all three conductive layers using one or more holes. The resulting holes may be filled, e.g., with metal plating, or conductive or non-conductive paste. In the case of the latter, it is also possible to provide a top covering conductive layer over the paste, e.g., to serve as a pad or the like on the board's external surface.

A printed circuit board and a forming method for forming the printed circuit board are disclosed. The printed circuit board includes a substrate and a conductive layer. The substrate includes a through hole, wherein one side of the through hole of the substrate corresponds to a first diameter, and the other side of the through hole of the substrate corresponds to a second diameter. The second diameter is greater than the first diameter. The conductive layer is placed on the inner surface of the through hole for electrically connecting the two sides of the substrate.
Abstract:
An electronic device is manufactured using printed circuit board manufacturing processes. In particular, a laminar device comprises a first metal layer (12), a second metal layer (14), at least one layer of device material sandwiched between the first and second metal layers. A first layer of insulating material (40) substantially covers the first metal layer (12). A third metal layer (48) is provided on the first layer of insulating material (40). This third metal layer (48) is divided to provide a first terminal (90) and a second terminal (92). The first terminal (90) is electrically connected to the first metal layer (12) by a conductive interconnect (84) formed through said first layer of insulating material (40), and the second terminal (92) is electrically connected to said second metal layer (14) by a conductive path (68) comprising an insulated conductive channel which passes through and is insulated from said first metal layer (12) and said at least one layer of device material (16). The use of an insulated channel provides a cost effective method of manufacture and maximizes the effective area of device material used. A PTC component is built through this method.
Abstract:
A laser drilling system for drilling blind vias in printed circuit board panels, multichip modules and chipscale packages with top and bottom surfaces and which include multiple dielectric polymer and metal layers. The system includes a first laser module comprising a laser able to form at least one via per pulse through one or more polymer layers. The vias are circular or non-circular in shape. An articulated arm is adapted to move at a speed of about 200 inches per second and at an acceleration of about 5 g's or more. A beam delivery unit is attached to the articulated arm and a conveyor adapted to move panels at a constant speed. The first laser module positioned on a separate track from the conveyor moves at a faster rate than the conveyor to drill the top surface. A second laser module is positioned to move on another separate track from the conveyor movable at a faster rate so as to drill the bottom surface.
Abstract:
There is provided a multi-layered circuit board and a manufacturing method of the multi-layered circuit board that allows electronic parts to be mounted adequately and that will not hamper performance of the electronic parts. A power terminal (pin) of an electronic part to be mounted on a surface of the multi-layered circuit board is inserted into a plated through hole to connect with a first conductive layer. A detecting section having a detecting hole which is formed coaxially with the through hole and whose diameter is larger than the through hole is provided on a second conductive layer on the back of the first conductive layer. A hole having a large diameter is formed by a tool along the through hole from the back while applying voltage between the second conductive layer and the tool. A depth of the hole is set based on that the tool electrically conducts with the detecting hole. Unnecessary plate of the through hole may be removed by the large hole.
Abstract:
A bump structure of a semiconductor package and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The bump structure is used to connect a semiconductor element to a carrier of the semiconductor package. The fabrication method primarily employs an electroplating process to form the bump structure including an under bump metallurgy (UBM) layer, at least one I-shaped conductive pillar, and a solder material. This allows fine-pitch electrical connection pads to be arranged in the semiconductor package, and also provides an enhanced support structure and a sufficient height between the semiconductor element and the carrier.
