Abstract:
A circuit includes a substrate having a dielectric layer with a first surface and a second surface. A conductive layer is formed on the first surface. A beveled via is formed in a dielectric layer of the substrate. The via has a first opening of a first width in the first surface, and a second opening of a second width in the second surface, the second width being greater than the first width. A conductive plug is connected to the conductive layer. The plug is formed in the via and extends from adjacent the first opening toward the second opening, and terminates adjacent the second opening at a plug interface surface. A conductive solder ball is connected to the plug interface surface and extends to protrude from the second surface.
Abstract:
A tape carrier type semiconductor device includes a flexible substrate, on which a driver circuit is mounted and on whose surface wiring is formed. Formed in the flexible substrate are the first slit for releasing external stress and the second slit for folding the tape carrier type semiconductor device. A connector for connecting both sides of the first slit is prepared at the center of the slit, whereby the unnecessary warp of the tape carrier type semiconductor device can be reduced.

Abstract:
A printed circuit board is provided to which a device such as a tape carrier package having a multiplicity of leads arranged with a small pitch is connected by a local heating method using a bonding tool. The upper surfaces of solder layers provided on lands formed on the printed circuit board are flattened prior to leads of an electronic part to be mounted being placed on the solder layers. The leads are soldered to the lands by being pressed and heated with the bonding tool. At least a region of the printed circuit board corresponding to the bottom surface of the bonding tool has a height lower than that of the leads superposed on the lands, so that the desired parallelism of the bottom surface of the bonding tool with respect to the printed circuit board is maintained. Positioning parts are provided in a region of the printed circuit board where the electronic part is to be mounted, to position the electronic part onto the printed circuit board.

Abstract:
A tape carrier package having many pins with a fine pitch can be simultaneously attained through a simplified positioning during the connection to external devices. Leads (4) and (5) are formed from an over coat area (3), which is formed at the central area of a base film (2), which is made of a resin, such as polymide, for example. Furthermore, outer leads (4a) at the input side and outer leads (5a) at the output side are respectively formed in a manner so that they extend towards both edge areas of the base film (2). A notched section 6 is formed between the outer leads (5a) at the output side of the base film (2), and through this, each of the regions (2a) and (2b) expands independently during a thermocompression bonding. The notched section 6 is provided almost at the central area of the base film (2) in the longitudinal direction, and outer leads (5) at the output side in the same number (256 for example) are formed at both of its sides in a pitch of approximately 70 .mu.m. A reinforcing device (13) is provided across the notch.

Abstract:
To prevent solder bridges that will easily occur in soldering an element whose leads are narrow in spacing. In a solder resist, there is provided an excess-solder absorbing region in which solder resist is not provided, between an end of a solder pad and the distal end of a lead. When a great deal of solder paste is applied to the solder pad for soldering the lead, an excess of solder melted due to the heat of a heater, flows along the lead and into the excess-solder absorbing region toward the distal end of the lead. Since the excess of solder does not flow across the solder resist provided between the leads, no solder bridge is formed.

Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) package (10), having an integrated circuit (11) and a connecting substrate (12) comprising an insulating film (13), one side of which carries conductors (14) and the other side of which carries balls (15) connected to the respective conductors by means of via holes (16) in the film. The balls (15) are fixed directly to said via holes, the base of which is formed by the respective conductors. The balls are preferably made of a remeltable material such as tin lead and the fixation can be made initially by an adhesive substance. The process for connecting two connecting substrates (12, 22) by means of balls (15), one of which substrates comprises a film (13), one side of which is provided with conductors (14) and the other side of which is provided with via holes (16), consists of fixing the balls directly to the conductors in the via holes by remelting the balls. The balls can be soldered or prefixed by an adhesive substance to connecting pads (23) of a board (22).
