Abstract:
A microelectronic interposer is made by providing a sacrificial layer over the surface of a planar body. Apertures are formed passing through the body and the sacrificial layer. A layer of an electrically conductive structural material is deposited in each of the apertures and over the sacrificial layer, proximate to each aperture to thereby form contacts. The sacrificial layer is removed leaving the contacts with outwardly flaring peripheral portions spaced vertically above the surface of the planar body.
Abstract:
A sheet-like thermally conductive resin composition containing 70 to 95 wt. % inorganic filler and 5 to 30 wt. % thermosetting resin composition, a lead frame as a wiring pattern, and an electrically conductive heat sink with a metal pole placed therein are superposed, heated and compressed, and thus are combined to form one body. Consequently, a thermally conductive circuit board with a flat surface is obtained in which a grounding pattern is grounded to the heat sink inside the insulating layer. Thus, the grounding pattern and the heat sink can be connected electrically with each other in an arbitrary position inside the insulating layer of the thermally conductive circuit board. Accordingly, there are provided a thermally conductive circuit board with high heat dissipation, high conductivity and high ground-connection reliability, a method of manufacturing the same, and a power module allowing its size to be reduced and its density to be increased.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a copper ball insertion machine, for integrating metal inserts in via holes provided through a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising a motor driven X-Y table (2) with the PCB on top. The X-Y table (2) is adjustable to position a selected via hole in a predetermined location aligned with a closable outlet opening (12) of a movable container (6) for metal inserts. The container is by means of a clamping cylinder (28) displaceable for clamping the part of the PCB adjacent said via hole against the working surface (2) of said X-Y table. By means of a pivoting cylinder (20) the container is rotatable for feeding one metal insert through the outlet opening (12) into said via hole. A stamp (30) is drivable by a hammer cylinder (40) for compressing said metal insert to shape and deform it into a tight fit with the via hole.

One or several heat sinks are provided outside the housing. The metal plate is connected with the heat sinks arranged outside the housing by thermally conductive connectors.
Abstract:
A printed wiring board manufacturing method is provided which is so consitituted that when a carbon dioxide leaser is used to form holes such as via holes in a copper clad laminate, copper foils and resin layers may be processed at the same time, without having to perform an etching treatment on the cooper foil. Namely, a carbon dioxide laser is used to form recess portions such as via holes in a copper clad laminate, followed by plating to form interlayer electrical connections, forming etching resist layers, and exposing and developing the etching resist layers, thereby effecting a circuit etching treatment. In particular, the copper clad laminate is a laminate formed by using waved copper foils to form external copper foils.
Abstract:
Solder balls, such as, low melt C4 solder balls undergo volume expansion during reflow. Where the solder balls are encapsulated, expansion pressure can cause damage to device integrity. A volume expansion region in the semiconductor chip substrate beneath each of the solder balls accommodates volume expansion. Air-cushioned diaphgrams, deformable materials and non-wettable surfaces may be used to permit return of the solder during cooling to its original site. A porous medium with voids sufficient to accommodate expansion may also be used.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of making an electronic parts mounting board, comprising the steps of: punching a conductive sheet to form a circuit pattern portion and through-holes in which electronic parts are to be mounted by use of a progressive die device while at the same time partially folding said circuit pattern portion to form connection terminal portions by use of said same progressive die device; and molding an insulative resin over the whole opposite sides of said circuit pattern portion and the base ends of the terminal portions including the folded parts thereof to form an integral covering portion having openings for electrically connecting said circuit pattern portion to electronic parts to be mounted thereon.
Abstract:
An interposer for interconnection between microelectronic circuit panels has contacts at its surfaces. Each contact extends from a central conductor, and has a peripheral portion adapted to contract radially inwardly toward the central conductor response to a force applied by a contact pad defining a central hole on the engaged circuit panel. Thus, when the circuit panels are compressed with the interposers, the contacts contract radially inwardly and wipe across the pads. The wiping action facilitates bonding of the contacts to the pads, as by friction welding, or by a conductive bonding material carried on the contacts themselves.
Abstract:
A hole metal-filling method, applied to hole filling and electroplating a printed circuit board which has been mechanical-drilled with holes. A plurality of holes is drilled in a substrate. The substrate is placed on a platform. A plurality of metal balls is disposed on a surface of the substrate. By vibrating the platform, a part of the metal balls roll into the holes, while the metal balls not rolling into the holes are removed. The substrate is then placed on a press down unit. The metal balls in the holes are pressed to level with surfaces of the substrate. The substrate is directly electroplated for forming a plating layer closely dovetail to the metal balls.

A contactor is used for testing an integrated circuit electronic component provided with a plurality of electrodes. The contactor includes an insulating base material provided with holes formed at positions corresponding to the electrodes, a first conductive layer having contacts which are plastically deformed portions of the first conductive layer, and reinforcement members provided on the contacts on a first surface of the contacts. The first surface of the contacts is facing towards the holes. The contacts are provided at positions corresponding to the electrodes for enabling an electrical connection to the electronic component and are protruded from the insulating base material.
