Abstract:
Trace configurations for carrying high-speed digital differential signals provide for reduced conduction loss and improved signal integrity. In one embodiment, a circuit board has a first set of conductive traces disposed on non-conductive material, and a second set of conductive traces parallel to the first set and disposed within the conductive material. The second set is separated from the first set by non-conductive material. Corresponding traces of the first and second sets may be in a stacked configuration. In other embodiments, conductive material may be provided between corresponding traces of the first and second sets resulting in an “I-shaped” or “U-shaped” cross-section. In yet other embodiments, the trace configurations have “T-shaped” and “L-shaped” cross-sections.
Abstract:
A circuit board includes a film substrate, a plurality of wiring layers arranged in order on the film substrate, and bumps formed on the wiring layers, respectively. Each of the bumps is provided across a longitudinal direction of a corresponding one of the wiring layers so as to extend over regions on both sides of the wiring layer above the insulating substrate, and a cross sectional shape of the bump taken in the width direction of the wiring layer is such that a central portion is higher than portions on both sides of the central portion. Accordingly, the bumps formed on the wiring layers can be held with strength sufficient for practical use against the force applied in the lateral direction.

A method of forming a patterned thin film comprises the step of forming a frame having an undercut near the bottom thereof on an electrode film, and the plating step of forming the patterned thin film by plating through the use of the frame. The patterned thin film includes a plurality of linear portions disposed side by side. Each of the linear portions has a portion close to the electrode film. This portion has a width greater than the width of the remaining portion of each of the linear portions.
Abstract:
[Solution means] A process for producing a printed wiring board comprises the steps of depositing a base metal on at least one surface of an insulating film to form a base metal layer and further depositing copper or a copper alloy to form a conductive metal layer, then removing a surface metal layer, which is formed through the above step, by etching to form a wiring pattern, and then treating the base metal layer with a treating liquid capable of dissolving and/or passivating the metal that forms the base metal layer. The printed wiring board so provided comprises an insulating film and a wiring pattern formed on at least one surface of the insulating film, the wiring pattern including a base metal layer deposited on the insulating film surface and a conductive metal layer, the base metal layer for forming the wiring pattern protrudes in a widthwise direction more than the conductive metal layer for forming the wiring pattern.

Priorly, semiconductor devices wherein a flexible sheet with a conductive pattern was employed as a supporting substrate, a semiconductor element was mounted thereon, and the ensemble was molded have been developed. In this case, problems occur that a multilayer wiring structure cannot be formed and warping of the insulating resin sheet in the manufacturing process is prominent. In order to solve these problems, a laminated plate 10 formed by laminating a first conductive film 11 and a second conductive film 12 is covered with a photoresist layer PR having opening portions 13 with inclined surfaces 13S, a conductive wiring layer 14 is formed in the opening portions by electrolytic plating to form inverted inclined surfaces 14R, and then, when covering the same with the sealing resin layer 21, an anchoring effect is produced by making the sealing resin layer 21 bite into the inverted inclined surfaces 14R so as to strengthen bonding of the sealing resin layer 21 with the conductive wiring layer 14.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a solder alloy in use for bonding electric or electronic parts, containing: 3 to 12% by weight of a zin component; and a tin component. The oxygen content of the solder alloy is reduced to 100 ppm or less. Using the solder alloy, a bonding portion is formed on the substrate and the electronic part is mounted thereon to obtain a substrate for mounting the electronic part and a substrate on which the electronic part is mounted. The bonding portion made of the above solder alloy can prevent migration.
