Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a build-up multi-layer printed circuit board is disclosed which is used in the mother board of a computer, camera-incorporated VTRs, MCMs (multi chip module), CSPs (chip size package) or portable phones. In the build-up multi-layer printed circuit board of the present invention, an inner-layer connecting state is improved. The multi-layer printed circuit board is manufactured by sequentially stacking insulating resin layers and circuit conductor layers based on a build-up method. That is, a first insulating resin layer is necessarily made to undergo an exposure and a development so as to form a first via hole 122. Then a second via hole 124 which is larger than the first via hole 122 is formed on a second insulating resin layer, thereby forming a final V shaped photo via hole 120. Thus build-up multi-layer printed circuit board is manufactured.

Abstract:
In a first step, a first substrate is prepared. The first substrate has a first surface, a second surface, and a through-hole therebetween. In a second step, a second substrate is prepared. The second substrate has a first surface, a second surface, and a pad on the first surface of the second substrate. In a third step, a solder is provided on the pad of the second substrate. In a fourth step, the through-hole of the first substrate is positioned on the solder. The second surface of the first substrate and the first surface of the second substrate face each other. In a fifth step, the solder is heated to flow the solder into the through-hole of the first substrate. In the sixth step, an appearance of the solder on the first surface of the first substrate may be confirmed for detection of a connection of the solder.
Abstract:
An alignment board for interfacing arrays of infrared detectors to a multi-layer module concerns an insulating board having a multiplicity of conductive vias with insulating sealing plugs and enlarged metallic pads that are attached to the ends of the vias. Preferably, an insulating layer is formed on opposing sides of the board. Openings are delineated in the layer coinciding with the metallic pads, and preferably solder contacts are deposited in the openings. A multi-layer module may be attached to one side of the alignment board using reflow solder processes. Then, arrays of infrared detectors may be attached to the opposing side of the alignment board using a lower-temperature reflow soldering process. The alignment board facilitates the interfacing and assembly of the focal plane of infrared detection systems.

Abstract:
The invention provides a reliable and productive method for the preparation of a double-sided flexible circuit board having two circuit patterns on the two surfaces of a flexible base film in which the two circuit patterns are electrically connected through an opening penetrating the base film. Different from conventional methods in which the electrical connection between two circuit patterns is obtained by filling the opening with an electroconductive paste, the electrical connection in the invention is obtained by (a) forming a first circuit pattern on one surface with a conductive paste which is then brought into a semi-cured condition, (b) punching the conductive layer and the base film with a needle to make an opening whereby the conductive layer is plastically deformed and protruded on the opposite surface through the opening and (c) providing the opposite surface with the second circuit pattern by printing so that the layer of the second circuit pattern can be in contact with the protruded portion of the first conductive layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a double-sided wiring substrate wherein fine wiring patterns having a low resistivity are formed on both surfaces of a substrate. An insulating substrate having upper, lower, and side surfaces is prepared. The inner wall of a through hole formed in the insulating substrate or a side edge portion of the substrate is used as the side surface. A thin metal film is formed on the entire surface of the insulating substrate including its side surface by a deposition. The insulating film is covered with a resist film except for a wiring pattern region to be formed, and plating is performed. When the resist film is removed, the thin metal film is exposed outside the wiring patterns formed by the thick metal film. Etching is performed for a short period of time to remove a surface layer of the thick metal film and exposed region of the thin metal film.
Abstract:
A printed circuit comprising a substrate, a first conductive circuit pattern thereon and an insulator on the first conductive circuit pattern. The insulator has a via hole which extends down to and is tapered toward the first conductive circuit pattern. A second conductive circuit pattern is formed on the side wall of the via hole and on a portion of the first conductive circuit pattern. The tapered via hole allows the second conductive circuit pattern to ensure excellent electrical contact with the first conductive circuit pattern.

A miniature hearing aid (1) includes a microphone (12), a receiver (14) an amplifier (15), and a battery connectable via a contact (18), all of which are contained in a housing (2,3). The amplifier is constructed of a printed circuit board (20) and a plurality of components (21). In order to save space, the components (21) are countersunk in openings (24) in the circuit board (20) to reduce the vertical dimension of the amplifier. The openings (24) are used as temporary supports and for exact positioning for the components (21) by making them rectangular with cut off edges.
