Abstract:
Contact bumps between a contact pad and a substrate can include recesses and protrusions that can mate with the material of the substrate. The irregular mating surfaces between the contact bumps and the contact pads can enhance the bonding strength of the contacts, for example, against shear and tension forces, especially for flexible systems such as smart cards.
Abstract:
A multi-layered ceramic package comprises: a signal layer with identified chip/device area(s) that require a supply of power; and a voltage power (Vdd) layer and a ground (Gnd) layer disposed on opposite sides directly above or below and adjacent to the signal layer and providing a first reference mesh plane and a second reference mesh plane configured utilizing a hybrid mesh scheme. The hybrid mesh scheme comprises: a full dense mesh in a first area directly above or below the identified chip/device area(s); a half dense mesh in a second area that is above or below the edge(s) of the chip/device area; and a wider mesh pitch in all other areas The Vdd traces are aligned to run parallel and adjacent to signal lines in those other areas. Wider traces are provided within the mesh areas that run parallel and adjacent to signal lines.

The first insulation layer has resin in the amount greater than the amount of resin in the second insulation layer such that the total amount of resin component including the resin in the first insulation layer is adjusted to be substantially the same as the total amount of resin component including the resin in the second insulation layer and resin in the resin layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a die mounting substrate, which includes a mounting substrate having a pad, a die having a terminal and surface-mounted on the mounting substrate, and a conductive paste bump formed on the pad or the terminal so as to connect the pad and the terminal to each other. When the die is connected and mounted on the mounting substrate using the conductive paste bump, shear stress is relieved thus preventing reliability from decreasing due to a difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the die and the mounting substrate, and also preventing the force of adhesion of the bump from decreasing due to the reduction in size of the pad of the mounting substrate.
Abstract:
A wiring substrate includes an insulating layer, an upper wiring pattern, and a lower wiring pattern, the wiring patterns sandwiching the insulating layer. The lower wiring pattern includes an interlayer connecting conductor integral therewith and projecting toward the upper wiring pattern for electrical connection to the upper wiring pattern. The interlayer connecting conductor is joined to the upper wiring pattern so as to penetrate into the upper wiring pattern beyond a joining interface between the insulating layer and the upper wiring pattern. Thus, the wiring substrate adaptable for a large current is provided without causing degradation of reliability in connection, which may occur by cracking, disconnection, interlayer peeling-off, etc.
