Abstract:
On each surface of a dielectric substrate, arranged are a first conductor line pattern having a plurality of first line segments and a second conductor line pattern having a plurality of second line segments. Ends of each first conductor line segment overlap the second conductor line segments, and the first and second line segments are connected via through-holes, thereby forming a single spiral conductor line. Each second conductor line segment for connecting adjacent first conductor line segments has a pair of end parts connected to the first conductor line segments via through-holes and a halfway part having a smaller width.
Abstract:
A photo-setting and thermosetting resin composition comprises (I) a partial adduct of epoxy resin with unsaturated aliphatic acid, (II) (meth)acrylates, (III) a photocrosslinking agent, (IV) liquid epoxy resin, and (V) a latent curing agent. The resin composition can be easily charged and plugged into a through-hole, does not drip down, and can be effectively photo-set and thermoset. A photo-set product prepared of the resin composition can be easily polished. A plugged-through-hole printed wiring (substrate) board prepared of the resin composition does not cause defects such as hollows, cracks, blisters, peelings and so on, is excellent in solder-resistance, does not corrode a metal part, and can produce an appliance of high reliability and long life which does not occur short circuit and poor electrical connection.
Abstract:
A weak-magnetic field sensor using printed circuit board manufacturing technique and a method of manufacturing the same which detects the Earth's magnetic field to obtain positional information is disclosed. The sensor comprises a first base board which is formed at its upper and lower surfaces with first driving patterns such that the upper and lower first driving patterns are electrically connected to each other, a pair of first stacked boards which are stacked on upper and lower surfaces of the first base board and which are formed with magnetic layers to be parallel to each other and patterned in a certain shape, and a pair of second stacked boards which are stacked on outer surfaces of the pair of first stacked boards and which are formed with second driving patterns electrically connected to the first driving patterns of the first base board to surround magnetic layers and formed with pickup patterns to surround the first and second driving patterns.
Abstract:
Mesh holes 35a and 59a of upper solid layers 35 and upper solid layers 59 are formed to overlie on one another, so that the insulating properties of interlayer resin insulating layers 50 are not lowered. Here, the diameter of each mesh hole is preferably 75 to 300 &mgr;m. The reason is as follows. If the diameter of the mesh hole is less than 75 &mgr;m, it is difficult to overlay the upper and lower mesh holes on one another. If the diameter exceeds 300 &mgr;m, the insulating properties of the interlayer resin insulating layers deteriorate. In addition, the distance between the mesh holes is preferably 100 to 2000 &mgr;m. The reason is as follows. If the distance is less than 100 &mgr;m, the solid layer cannot function. If the distance exceeds 2000 &mgr;m, the deterioration of the insulating properties of the interlayer resin insulating film occurs.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a solution to the problem of controlling the inter-layer impedance of a deposited thin film layer stack accommodating high-density interconnects. The invention enables high-density signal lines to be routed over a reference plane to achieve a desired characteristic impedance. In one embodiment, a first thin-film metal layer is formed on a planarized layer fabricated from multiple thin film dielectric layers. The reduced pad footprint in the first thin-film metal layer allows a major portion of the first thin-film metal layer to serve as a reference, or ground, plane to signal lines formed in a second thin-film metal layer that is separated from the first thin-film metal layer by a thin dielectric layer.

Abstract:
A system and method is described for providing a robust mechanical and electrical connection between two or more circuit boards which may be employed for diagnostic purposes and/or for permanent connections. A spacer block, connection block, or pedestal, preferably made of PCB type material is preferably disposed between two PCBs. The pedestal is preferably dimensioned to space the two PCBs far enough apart that the surface mount components on two boards connected employing the inventive pedestal do not interfere with one another. The pedestal preferably provides for ample signal density and signal quality because of the block thickness and availability of insulation within the pedestal.
Abstract:
A dielectric structure, and an associated method of fabrication, wherein two fully cured photoimageable dielectric (PID) layers of the structure are nonadhesively interfaced by a partially cured PID layer. The partially cured PID layer includes a power plane sandwiched between a first partially cured PID sheet and a second partially cured PID sheet. The partially cured PID layer be formed either in isolation, or by successively forming upon one of the fully cured PID layers: the first partially cured PID sheet, the power plane, and the second partially cured PID sheet. The first partially cured PID sheet and the second partially cured PID sheet is the result of partially curing, by radiative exposure, a first uncured PID sheet and a second uncured PID sheet, respectively. The fully cured PID layers each include an internal power plane, a plated via having a blind end conductively coupled to the internal power plane, and a plated via passing through the fully cured PID layer. The dielectric structure may further include a first PID film partially cured by radiation and nonadhesively coupled to one of the fully cured PID layers. The dielectric structure may further include a second PID film partially cured by radiation and nonadhesively coupled to the other fully cured PID layer. The partially cured PID material of the dielectric structure may be fully cured by pressurization and/or elevated temperature.
Abstract:
A method and structure for implementing dense wiring, in printed circuit board or chip carrier applications, which provides superior electrical characteristics while preserving the system resistance and characteristic impedance requirements. The dense wiring is characterized by requiring that all wires have a sufficient cross-sectional area to ensure the longest wires used do not exceed a maximum resistance by either sorting wire lengths and allowing acceptably nullshortnull wires to use denser circuit lines or by providing short lengths of short circuit lines in those areas where necessary and switching to less dense, lower resistance lines where possible. The disclosure also provides for dense wiring in component areas that can then be converted to low resistance wiring with application of a buried via.
Abstract:
A filet F is added to a portion constituting a corner portion C equal to or smaller than 90null in a crossing portion X of wiring patterns 58b, 58c and 58d, and a wiring pattern 58 is formed. Since the filet F is added, the wiring patterns are not made thin and are not disconnected in the crossing portion X. Further, since there is no stress concentrated to the crossing portion X, disconnection is not caused in the wiring patterns and no air bubbles are left between the crossing portion X of the wiring patterns and an interlayer resin insulating layer so that reliability of a printed wiring board is improved.
