Abstract:
A process for forming a patterned conductive structure on a substrate is disclosed. A pattern is printed with a material, such as a masking coating or an ink, on the substrate, the pattern being such that, in one embodiment, the desired conductive structures will be formed in the areas where the printed material is not present, i.e., a negative image of conductive structure to be formed is printed. In another embodiment, the pattern is printed with a material that is difficult to strip from the substrate, and the desired conductive structures will be formed in the areas where the printed material is present, i.e., a positive image of the conductive structure is printed. The conductive material is deposited on the patterned substrate, and the undesired area is stripped, leaving behind the patterned electrode structures.

A microjoint interconnect structure comprising a dense array of metallic studs of precisely controllable height tipped with a joining metallurgy. The array is produced on a device chip that is to be attached to a carrier, or to a carrier along with other devices, some of which may be selected to have similar interconnect structures so as to form all together an assembled carrier that functions as a complete computing, communications or networking system.

Also disclosed is a method for making the metal-clad laminate product.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a thermal conductive plug of a ceramic substrate of a multi-chip package. A plurality of conductive openings and thermal conductive openings are formed on green tapes. A metal paste is filled into the conductive openings and the thermal conductive openings. The green tapes are stacked together so that the metal paste inside the conductive openings and the thermal conductive openings of every green tape is in contact respectively with its neighboring metal paste within the conductive openings and thermal conductive openings of the green tapes. Cofire those green tapes and the metal paste to form a pre-substrate. The pre-substrate comprises an insulating structure, a plurality of thermal conductive plugs and conductive plugs.
Abstract:
A paste for one of a via and an external feature, such as a pad, tab, or line, of a ceramic substrate, includes at least one of titania and zirconia, and a filler material mixed with the at least one of titania and zirconia. Further, the via structure or external feature such as an input/output pad, tab, or line, includes a metallic plating thereover. A method of forming the via structure or the external feature on the ceramic substrate, includes steps of either depositing the paste in the via of the ceramic substrate or depositing the paste on the ceramic substrate, and depositing, by a dry process metallic plating, a metallic plating on the paste. The paste includes at least one of titania and zirconia for reducing residual stress without effecting the platability of the metallic plating.
Abstract:
A substrate with hermetically sealed vias extending from one side of the substrate to another and a method for fabricating same. The vias may be filled with a conductive material such as, for example, a fritless ink. The conductive path formed by the conductive material aids in sealing one side of the substrate from another. One side of the substrate may include a sensing element and another side of the substrate may include sensing electronics.
Abstract:
A high frequency module is provided with a resistor array layer with interconnections, in which a plurality of resistor elements having a prescribed resistance value are formed as an array, and in which an interconnection pattern for providing electrical connection to each resistor element is formed in advance. Additionally, a capacitor array layer with interconnection in which a plurality of capacitor elements having a prescribed capacitance value are formed as an array and an interconnection pattern for providing electrical connection to each capacitor element is also formed in advance for later use. A desired circuit constant is obtained by providing interconnections among the plurality of resistor elements and among the plurality of capacitor elements, respectively, in any given combination by simply modifying the respective interconnection patterns instead of the entire module. With this configuration, a high frequency module of a more compact and lighter type which facilitates design modification is provided at a low cost.

In the production of a high frequency circuit chip in which a wiring pattern is disposed on a substrate having a through-hole, a connecting electrode of the through-hole is formed by filling electrically conductive paste into a perforation and firing it, and the wiring pattern is formed by a lift-off method. Moreover, at least the surface of the substrate for the wiring pattern to be formed thereon is mirror-polished, and thereafter, the wiring pattern is formed on the mirror-polished surface by the lift-off method.
Abstract:
Rough, conductive diamond film regions are formed on a substrate for establishing electrical contact with a surface mount semiconductor package, or the like. The substrate base is heated in a diamond film gas phase deposition reactor. Molecular hydrogen, a carbon-bearing gas and a dopant source are introduced into the reactor at a temperature conducive to producing a conductive polycrystalline diamond film with sharp facets extending from the film. The diamond film is patterned by etching to remove regions where no electrical contact with the surface mount package is desired.
