Abstract:
A method for providing an improved solder joint for a via-in-pad ball grid array package. One or more bonding pads are formed upon a substrate. One or more vias are formed through the substrate within the bonding pad. The vias are plugged with a via plug material. The via plug material is then preconditioned such that an amount of volatiles within the via plug material is reduced.

The present invention relates to a soft magnetic material printed circuit boards. During the manufacturing of the printed magnetic circuit boards, the soft magnetic layer is used, such that it forms an integral part of the PCB after the manufacturing. In particular, the soft magnetic layers are formed such that, together with suitable circuit structures, an inductive component is formed. According to an aspect of the present invention, a polymer matrix of the soft magnetic layer is compatible to materials and/or processes used during the PCB manufacturing process.

Abstract:
A composition includes a solder paste matrix and a solder mixture including a tin-based solder alloy. The composition also includes a discrete dispersion of a metal. The tin-based alloy includes a melting first temperature and the metal includes a melting second temperature. The melting second temperature is greater than the melting first temperature. The discrete dispersion is in a particle range of a majority passing minus 520-mesh. A process includes blending the solder mixture and the metal under non-alloying conditions to achieve the discrete dispersion of the metal. A process includes reflowing the composition such that the composition when solidified, has a melting point that is higher than the solder mixture in the composition.

Abstract:
A resinous material, or a composite material obtained by mixing a resin and a powdery functional material is formed into a thin sheet to make a core substrate 1. A patterned thin-film conductor 2 is formed by thin-film forming technology on at least either of the front and rear surfaces of the core substrate 1. Clothless layers 3a to 3d are super-posed on at least that surface of the core substrate 1 on which the thin-film conductor 2 has been formed. Each clothless layer is formed from a resin-coated metal foil obtained by coating one surface of a metal foil with a resinous material, or a composite material obtained by mixing a resin and a powdery functional material. Conductor layers 4a to 4d obtained by patterning the metal foils are formed on the clothless layers 3a to 3d.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to electrically attaching a surface mount device to a mounting structure via their respective contact pads using an attach material, such as solder or conductive epoxy, which includes a filler material. In general, the filler material is relatively solid and granular shaped, wherein the diameter of the filler material controls a mounting distance between the surface mount device and the mounting structure. The filler allows a desired distance to be maintained during initial placement of the surface mount device and any subsequent reheating.
