    Abstract: A circuit board or microelectronic device in which conductive signal lines are suspended or supported by filaments in air, rather than surrounded by a solid dielectric material. Dry air has a low relative permittivity and extremely low loss tangent compared with common dielectric substrates in which signal lines are currently embedded within circuit boards and microelectronic devices. The signal intensity attenuation for filament-suspended or filament-supported signal lines is much lower than signal lines embedded in solid dielectric materials, allowing for transmission of significantly higher frequency signals within filament-suspended and filament-supported signal lines.

    Abstract: An electronic structure including a metallic interlocking structure for bonding a conductive plated layer to metal surface, and a method of forming the electronic structure. The method provides a substrate having a metallic sheet within a dielectric layer. The metallic sheet includes a metal such as copper. An opening in the substrate, such as a blind via, is formed by laser drilling through the dielectric layer and partially through the metallic sheet. If the opening is a blind via, then the laser drilling is within an outer ring of the blind via cross section using a laser beam having a target diameter between about 20% and about 150% of a radius of the blind via cross section. A surface at the bottom of the opening, called a nullblind surface,null includes a metallic protrusion formed by the laser drilling, such that the metallic protrusion is integral with a portion of the blind surface. The metallic protrusion includes the metal of the metallic sheet and at least one constituent element from the dielectric layer. The metallic protrusion is then etched to form a metallic interlocking structure that is integral with the portion of the blind surface. The metallic interlocking structure includes discrete metallic fibers, with each metallic fiber having a curved (or curled) geometry. Each metallic fiber has its own unique composition that includes the metal, at least one constituent element of the dielectric layer, or both.

    Abstract: A circuit board for automatically interconnecting electrical components mounted on the circuit board, comprising of a nonconducting emulsion layer sandwiched between two nonconducting outer layers. Electrical leads from electronic components are inserted through holes in one outer layer. Dispersed within the emulsion layer are conducting particles with an elongated length. The emulsion layer's melting temperature is lower than the outer layers allowing movement of the conducting particles when the temperature of the emulsion layer is above the melting temperature, and prevents movement when the temperature is below. Included with the circuit board is an electromagnetic and infrared (EIR) assembly positioned near the outer layer opposite the layer with the electronic components. The EIR assembly has an infrared source and two magnetic field generating devices. One produces a magnetic field parallel to the emulsion layer forcing the conducting particles to line up parallel to the emulsion layer. The elongated length is sufficient so each parallel positioned conducting particle comes into contact with any neighboring parallel positioned particle, thus forming a conducting path. The other produces a magnetic field perpendicular to the emulsion layer forcing the conducting particles to line up perpendicular, electrically isolating the conducting particles from any neighboring particles. Moving the EIR assembly across the circuit board generating the parallel magnetic field forms a conducting path, or generating the perpendicular magnetic field erases any conducting paths. The infrared source is used to raise the temperature of the emulsion layer.
