Abstract:
A package-in-substrate includes an exposed pad having a surface that is capable of contacting the outside; a semiconductor chip arranged on a surface opposite to the surface of the exposed pad; a molding resin for molding the semiconductor chip; and a lead frame extending from a side surface of the molding resin and having a leading end portion with a machined shape. The leading end portion of the lead frame is cut to have a cutting angel that is an acute angle formed by an extended straight line of the lead frame with respect to a top surface of a package.
Abstract:
A stub of a via formed in a printed circuit board is backdrilled to a predetermined depth. A capacitance probe is positioned within the via. Then the capacitance probe is used to obtain a test capacitance measurement. The test capacitance measurement is compared to a predetermined baseline capacitance measurement. Residual conductive plating material in the backdrilled stub causes the test capacitance measurement to exceed the predetermined baseline capacitance measurement. An indication is made that the predetermined baseline capacitance measurement has been exceeded.

Abstract:
The folding along the disposed direction of wiring patterns is prevented. Concave-convex shapes in a plan view for preventing the folding of a device as step portions in a plan view are provided on opposing sides of two conductive regions. A front edge side 3a1 of a convex shape in a plan view of a Cu foil layer 3a, which is one of the two conductive regions, is disposed to enter into a concave portion (on the side of a bottom side 3b2) of a concave shape in a plan view of a Cu foil layer 3b, which is the other conductive region, to prevent the folding along the disposed direction of wiring patterns.
Abstract:
A metal structure manufacture method for a multi-layer substrate comprises coating a photoresist layer on a first dielectric layer; proceeding a photolithography process to the photoresist layer to define a specific position for a first metal layer; removing the photoresist layer at the specific position; and forming the first metal layer at the specific position, wherein a base area of the first metal layer is larger than a top area thereof, and wherein the embedded base and the main body are formed in a same process and are monolithic formed. Said manufacturing method can be employed to manufacture a pad or a metal line of the flexible multi-layer substrate, and the manufactured metal structure cannot easily be delaminated or separated from the contacted dielectric layer.

Abstract:
A Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT) device includes at least one CMUT cell including a first substrate of a single crystal material having a top side including a patterned dielectric layer thereon including a thick and a thin dielectric region, and a through-substrate via (TSV) extending a full thickness of the first substrate. The TSV is formed of the single crystal material, is electrically isolated by isolation regions in the single crystal material, and is positioned under a top side contact area of the first substrate. A membrane layer is bonded to the thick dielectric region and over the thin dielectric region to provide a movable membrane over a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) cavity. A metal layer is over the top side substrate contact area and over the movable membrane including coupling of the top side substrate contact area to the movable membrane.

A flex-rigid wiring board includes a flexible base material structure, a rigid base material structure extending from opposite ends of the flexible base material structure, an electronic component embedded in the rigid base material structure, a first buildup layer laminated on first surfaces of the flexible base material structure and rigid base material structure and having an exposing portion exposing the flexible base material structure, and a second buildup layer laminated on second surfaces of the flexible base material structure and rigid base material structure and having an exposing portion exposing the flexible base material structure. The first and second buildup layers are formed such that the flexible base material structure exposed by the exposing portions of the first and second buildup layers forms a bendable portion and that the rigid base material structure and the first and second buildup layers form non-bendable portions connected to the bendable portion.
