Abstract:
A method for laying out a circuit board includes following steps. A substrate board is formed with a plurality of board sides. A ground plane, including a plurality of tiles, is provided. Each ground trace tile is defined by a plurality of ground traces. A signal plane on the substrate board has a plurality of signal traces that comprise of a plurality of straight line segments. Any one ground trace of each tile is arranged at an angle other than zero degrees relative to one determined board side. The straight line segments is applied to be mapped on the ground plane crossing one ground trace of one tile within an angle range determined by the ground traces of the tile and an adjacent diagonal line of the tile. The one ground trace and the straight line segments are applied at an angle movable in a range from 22.5° to 32.5°.

A printed circuit board includes a base formed from a plurality of woven fibers, and signal traces laid on the base. Each of the signal traces includes at least a straight line segment. The signal traces are laid on the base in such a manner that the line segments of the signal traces mapped on the base cross the fibers at angles not equal to zero degrees.
Abstract:
A heat dissipation apparatus for dissipating heat from two heat sources includes a heat sink, and a fan mounted on the heat sink. The heat sink includes a base and a plurality of parallel fins positioned on the base, the base contacts with one of the two heat sources for thermally conducting the heat generated by the one of the two heat sources. The fan is configured to generate airflow through the fins in such a manner that airflow flows from a second side of the fins to a first side of the fins. A deflecting member is mounted on the first side of the fins for deflecting airflow from the fan towards the second of the two heat sources.
Abstract:
A chip package structure comprises a carrier, a chip and an underfill. The chip has an active surface on which a plurality of bumps is formed. The chip is flip-chip bonded onto the carrier with the active surface facing the carrier, and is electrically connected to the carrier through the bumps. The underfill is filled between the chip and the carrier. A portion of the underfill near the chip serves as a first underfill portion. The portion of the underfill near the carrier serves as a second underfill portion. The Young's modulus of the first underfill portion is smaller than the Young's modulus of the second underfill portion. The second underfill portion can be optionally replaced with a selected encapsulation. The selected encapsulation covers the chip and the carrier around the chip.
Abstract:
A motherboard includes a printed circuit board, a first chip and a second chip arranged on the printed circuit board in parallel. A plurality of securing holes are defined in the printed circuit board around the first chip. At least one isolating hole is defined in the printed circuit board between the second chip and a first line determined by two of the securing holes close to the second chip. Should the printed circuit board suffer an impact, damage to the chips may be effectively minimized or prevented.
Abstract:
A motherboard includes a circuit board, a first chip and a second chip disposed on the circuit board. Four securing holes are defined in the circuit board around the first chip, for mounting a heat dissipating module on the first chip. Two of the securing holes determine a first line, and the other two securing holes determine a second line parallel to the first line. A center of the second chip is located along a centerline between the first and second lines. Should the circuit board suffer from an impact, damage to the chips may be effectively minimized or prevented.
