Abstract:
A ceramic circuit structure comprising a plurality of ceramic layers and at least one electronic component embedded within the plurality of ceramic layers. Within a first one of the ceramic layers is a via that passes through the ceramic layer. A contact pad is formed on a surface of the ceramic layer. A barrier cap is formed between the via and the contact pad. A dielectric ring covers a peripheral portion of the contact pad and an adjacent portion of the dielectric material layer surface immediately surrounding the contact pad, such that any solder that is applied to the contact does not contact the peripheral portion of the contact pad or the ceramic material.
Abstract:
A bonding structure of device packaging includes a first substrate and a second substrate. The surfaces of the first substrate have metal pads and a first bonding layer connected to the second substrate whose surfaces have a second bonding layer and electrodes. The first bonding layer is combined with the second bonding layer, and the metal pads are in electrical communications with the electrodes. The second substrate may be a flexible substrate to decrease the strain between the first substrate and the second substrate.
Abstract:
The cost and complexity of an electronic pressure sensitive transducer are decreased by constructing such a transducer directly on a printed circuit board containing support electronics. Conductive traces are formed on the printed circuit board to define a contact area. A flexible substrate having an inner surface is positioned over the contact area. An adhesive spacer, substantially surrounding the contact area, attaches the flexible substrate to the printed circuit board. At least one resistive layer is deposited on the flexible substrate inner surface. In use, the resistive layer contacts at least two conductive traces in response to pressure applied to the flexible substrate to produce an electrical signal indicative of applied pressure.
Abstract:
A multilayer wiring board assembly, a multilayer wiring board assembly component and a method of manufacture thereof are described in which it is possible to easily laminate together flexible FPCs having highly packing densities by via-on-via and chip-on-via. The multilayer wiring board assembly is laminated by laminating together a plurality of multilayer wiring board assembly components, each of which is made by preparing a copper plated resin film 10 made of a copper plated resin film made of a resin film having adhesivity which is provided with a copper foil bonded to one surface thereof and in which a through hole is opened through said copper foil and said resin film, and a conductive paste filler embedded by screen printing in the through hole of said copper plated resin film from said copper foil with a leading end of said conductive paste filler being projected from said resin film.
Abstract:
A wiring board in which a line can be made narrower and/or a transmission loss can be reduced is developed. The wiring board includes a first conductor and a second conductor maintained at the same potential, a dielectric material layer provided between the first and second conductors, and a third conductor embedded in the dielectric material layer. In the wiring board, a thickness of the dielectric material layer in a first region located between the third conductor and the first conductor is larger than a thickness of the dielectric material layer in a second region located between the third conductor and the second conductor. Moreover, a cross-sectional shape of the third conductor is trapezoidal in which angles of respective ends of the third conductor on a side closer to the second conductor are obtuse.

A method of embedding thick-film capacitors includes etching foil electrodes outside the boundary of the capacitor dielectric to prevent etching solutions from coming in contact with and damaging the capacitor dielectric layers.
Abstract:
A transparent touch panel is structured by forming connecting layers that contain conductive metal powder dispersed in a resin, on ends of wiring patterns on a wiring board to which upper electrodes and lower electrodes are to be bonded. This structure can provide a transparent touch panel that ensures bonding of upper and lower substrates and the wiring board and stable electrical connection.
Abstract:
An improved method of forming an electrode pattern on a substrate is described. The substarate is coated with a first conductive film and subjected to baking. On the first conductive film is then overlied a second conductive film which mends possible fissures of the first conductive film which, besides, would produce open circuits in the pattern.
Abstract:
Method for screen printing a continuous structure on a substrate wherein the screen printed structure extends from at least a first level to at least a second level. The disclosed method is particularly suitable for the fabrication of microelectronic devices and components thereof including the fabrication of field emission display devices. Preferably, a print screen of a preferred thickness having a preconfigured print pattern formed therethrough, in combination with a squeegee having a hardness within a preferred range, are used to force a screen printable substance onto a substrate while maintaining a portion of the print screen within a preferred reference angle. The resulting screen printed structure extends from at least one lower level to at least one upper level in a continuous “uphill” manner.
