Abstract:
Disclosed are stair stepped PCB structures which provide high performance, direct path, via-less interconnections between various elements of an electronic interconnection structure including, among others, IC packages and connectors.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a printed circuit board and a method of preparing the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has two types of plated through holes. The first type of plated through holes extend to and through an exterior surface of the printed circuit board for receipt of a pin-in-through-hole module or component pin. The second type of plated through holes are for surface mount technology and terminate below the exterior surfaces of the printed circuit board. These plated through holes contain a bill composition.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a printed circuit board, and a method of preparing a printed circuit board, which possesses a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially similar to that of silicon for use in direct semiconductor chip attach structures and similar solder mounted devices. The printed circuit board is fabricated from prepreg having a thermosetting resin and a reinforcement layer consisting of non-woven aramid mat or a liquid crystalline polymer paper. The composite dielectric layer optionally includes plated through holes which are either filled or non-filled, and one or more thin film redistribution layers to provide high density electronic packages. The design places the solder pads at the PTHs where needed. The redistribution layer can be formed using photoimagable dielectrics or laminated controlled-CTE composites and laser via imaging.
Abstract:
A method for producing printed circuit boards (PCB), wherein a base material of a PCB, having copper claddings respectively on its opposed faces, is subject to the following subsequent processing steps. Holes are punched in the base material and claddings. The copper claddings are cleaned and deburred by mechanical and/or chemical techniques. Using image transfer and etching techniques, a pattern is produced in the cladding layers that exposes surface portions and leaves cladding portions adjacent to the holes of the base material. A photoimageable polymer insulating layer is applied to the exposed surfaces of the PCB base material and to the remaining pattern of cladding. The PCB is subjected to exposure and development, which exposes selected portions of the cladding layers including cladding portions adjacent to the holes. The opposite faces of the PCB are subjected to an adhesion improvement and activation treatment necessary for chemical deposition of metal. Image transfer is performed using a second photoimageable and developable insulating layer, and then metallization is applied to the hole walls and cladding portions adjacent to the holes by chemical deposition. In this process the desired conductor patterns, contact areas and interconnections are also produced onto activated areas not protected with the latter photoimageable insulating layer. A solder mask is applied to the PCB that protects the conductor pattern at areas except those intended for establishing contacts.
Abstract:
THE DISCLOSED TECHNIQUE COMPRISES THE LAMINATION OF TWO OR MORE CIRCUIT BOARDS USING A CONTROLLED FLOW ADHESIVE LAYER, THE CONTROLLED FLOW ADHESIVE PERMITTING THROUGH HOLES TO REMAIN UNOBSTRUCTED AFTER LAMINATION. FINAL INTERCONNECTION IS MADE BY PLATING THROUGH THE HOLES, THEREBY PROVIDING THE REQUISITE INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN SURFACES.

Abstract:
A capacitor having a stem that is designed to be inserted into a single, large-diameter via hole drilled in a printed circuit board is provided, wherein the stem may have conductive rings for making the positive and negative connections to the printed circuit board power distribution planes. Inside the capacitive stem, current, or at least a portion thereof, may be carried to the main body of the capacitor through low-inductance plates that are interleaved to maximize their own mutual inductance and, therefore, minimize the connection inductance. Alternatively, the capacitor may include a coaxial stem that forms a coaxial transmission line with the anode and cathode terminals forming the inner and outer conductors.
