Abstract:
A method for forming at least one micro-via on a substrate is disclosed. The method comprises drilling at least one hole in a substrate by using a first laser beam. The first laser beam has an energy distribution, which is more at edges of the first laser beam than at the center of the first laser beam. The method further comprises forming at least one blank pattern on a top surface of the substrate and around an outer periphery of the at least one hole by removing at least a portion of the substrate by using a second laser beam. At least one blank pattern of the plurality of blank pattern corresponds to pad of the at least one micro-via. Thereafter, the method comprises filling the plurality of blank patterns and the at least one micro-via with a conductive material to form at least micro-via.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method of a bump structure with an annular support includes the following steps. A substrate including pads and a passivation layer is provided. The passivation has first openings exposing a portion of the pads. An UBM material layer is formed to cover the passivation layer and the pads. A patterned photoresist layer, having second openings respectively exposing the UBM material layer over the pads, is formed on the UBM material layer. A diameter of each second opening located on a lower surface of the patterned photoresist layer is less than that located on an upper surface of the patterned photoresist layer. Bumps are formed in the second openings. A portion of the patterned photoresist layer is removed to form an annular support at a periphery of each bump. The UBM material layer is patterned using the annular supports and the bumps as masks to form UBM layers.

An electrical connector assembly includes a circuit board and an electrical connector mounted on the circuit board. The circuit board has a circuit board body having first and second surfaces and through-holes bored between the first and second surfaces. The circuit board has signal traces on internal layers of the circuit board that are generally parallel to the first and second surfaces. Portions of the circuit board body within the through-holes are etched away to expose portions of the signal traces beyond the circuit board body within the corresponding through-hole. The electrical connector includes a housing and signal terminals held by the housing. The signal terminals are received in respective through-holes of the circuit board and engage the corresponding signal traces.
Abstract:
Standardized photon building blocks are used to make both discrete light emitters as well as array products. Each photon building block has one or more LED chips mounted on a substrate. No electrical conductors pass between the top and bottom surfaces of the substrate. The photon building blocks are supported by an interconnect structure that is attached to a heat sink. Landing pads on the top surface of the substrate of each photon building block are attached to contact pads disposed on the underside of a lip of the interconnect structure. In a solder reflow process, the photon building blocks self-align within the interconnect structure. Conductors on the interconnect structure are electrically coupled to the LED dice in the photon building blocks through the contact pads and landing pads. The bottom surface of the interconnect structure is coplanar with the bottom surfaces of the substrates of the photon building blocks.
Abstract:
To provide a multilayer wiring substrate in which the connection reliability of via conductors is enhanced, via holes are formed in a resin interlayer insulation layer which isolates a lower conductor layer from an upper conductor layer, and via conductors are formed in the via holes for connecting the lower conductor layer and the upper conductor layer. The surface of the resin interlayer insulation layer is a rough surface, and the via holes open at the rough surface of the resin interlayer insulation layer. Stepped portions are formed in opening verge regions around the via holes such that the stepped portions are recessed from peripheral regions around the opening verge regions. The stepped portions are higher in surface roughness than the peripheral regions.

In one implementation, a method is provided for constructing an interface module which includes constructing a board having a signal via through the board, and having at least one ground via extending through the board. The method further includes back drilling the signal via to create a center conductor hole above a remaining portion of the signal via and back drilling a shield opening in the board and at least part way into the at least one ground via such that a height of the center conductor hole is reduced. The method further includes plating the shield opening and the center conductor hole, and back drilling to remove a portion of the plating to electrically isolate the plated shield opening and the plated center conductor hole.

A resin multilayer substrate includes a component-containing layer and a thin resin layer stacked on a surface of the component-containing layer. The resin multilayer substrate further includes a surface electrode located on a surface opposite to the surface of the thin resin layer stacked on the component-containing layer, a first via conductor provided in the component-containing layer, which includes an end reaching one surface of the component-containing layer, and a second via conductor provided in the thin resin layer, which includes a first end electrically connected to the surface electrode and a second end electrically connected to the via conductor. A portion of the thin resin layer in contact with the second via conductor defines a projection projecting into the first via conductor.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a printed wiring board in which solder bumps of a mounted semiconductor chip are less prone to be ruptured. The printed wiring board includes a dielectric layer having a main surface and a connecting pad embedded in the dielectric layer. The connecting pad is shaped like a brimmed hat. That is, the connecting pad includes a plate portion whose diameter is larger than that of a contact portion. The main surface of the contact portion is exposed at the main surface of the dielectric layer. Diameter of the contact portion is substantially the same as diameter of an under bump metal at the semiconductor chip side, when mechanical stress is applied, the stress disperses evenly to both of the connecting pad and the under bump metal, and thus rupture is less prone to occur.
