Abstract:
In the ceramic circuit board, within the through hole of the ceramic substrate is arranged the metal column which is 0 to 150 μm shorter relative to the thickness of the ceramic substrate; the metal circuit plates are attached to both surfaces of the ceramic substrate to stop up the through hole; and the metal column and the metal circuit plate are bonded together via the brazing material. For its manufacture, the metal column with brazing material is used that is made 40 to 140 μm longer relative to the thickness of the ceramic substrate by being formed of the metal column which is 0 to 150 μm shorter relative to the thickness of the ceramic substrate and has its both ends coated with the brazing material.
Abstract:
A flexible interconnect structure allows for rapid dissipation of heat generated from an electrical device that includes light-emitting elements, such as light-emitting diodes (“LEDs”) and/or laser diodes. The flexible interconnect structure comprises: (1) at least one flexible dielectric film on which circuit traces and, optionally, electrical circuit components are formed and at least a portion of which is removed through its thickness; and (2) at least a heat sink attached to one surface of the flexible dielectric film opposite to the surface on which circuit traces are formed. The flexible interconnect structure can include a plurality of such flexible dielectric films, each supporting circuit traces and/or circuit components, and each being attached to another by an electrically insulating layer. Electrical devices or light sources having complex shapes are formed from such flexible interconnect structures and light-emitting elements attached to the heat sinks so to be in thermal contact therewith.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus suitable for forming hermetic electrical feedthroughs in a ceramic sheet having a thickness of ≦40 mils. More particularly, the method yields an apparatus including a hermetic electrical feedthrough which is both biocompatible and electrochemically stable and suitable for implantation in a patient's body. The method involves: (a) providing an unfired, ceramic sheet having a thickness of ≦40 mils and preferably comprising ≦99% aluminum oxide; (b) forming multiple blind holes in said sheet; (c) inserting solid wires, preferably of platinum, in said holes; (d) firing the assembly of sheet and wires to a temperature sufficient to sinter the sheet material but insufficient to melt the wires; and (e) removing sufficient material from the sheet lower surface so that the lower ends of said wires are flush with the finished sheet lower surface.

An electrically conducting bonding connection (B) is produced between an electronic circuit (S) arranged on an electrically conducting support plate (1) and the support plate (1) by providing a hole (4, 5), into which an electrically conducting bonding element (2) with a bondable surface (3) is pressed in such a way that the support plate (1) and the bonding element (2) enter into an electrically conducting and frictional connection; the bonding connection is subsequently produced with the bonding element (2).
Abstract:
Miniature circuitry and inductor components in which multiple levels of printed circuitry are formed on each side of a support panel, typically a printed circuit board or rigid flex. Electrical connection between the plural levels of circuitry and multiple windings around magnetic members are provided by plural plated through hole conductors. Small through hole openings accommodate a plurality of the plated through hole conductors since each is insulated from the others by a very thin layer of vacuum deposited organic layer such as parylene having a high dielectric strength. Adhesion of this plated copper to the organic layer is provided by first applying an adhesive promotor to the surface of the organic layer followed by the vacuum deposition of the organic layer.
