Abstract:
A plurality of suspension boards and an inspection substrate are integrally supported by a support frame. In each suspension board, a line is formed on a conductive first support substrate via a first insulating layer. The first support substrate and the line are electrically connected by a first via in the first insulating layer. In the inspection substrate, a conductor layer is formed on a conductive second support substrate with a second insulating layer sandwiched therebetween. The second support substrate and the conductor layer are electrically connected by a second via in the second insulating layer. The first via and the second via have the same configuration.
Abstract:
A substrate for suspension comprises a metallic substrate, an insulating layer formed on the metallic substrate, having an opening for grounding terminal, and a grounding conductor formed on the insulating layer. A grounding-terminal-forming material is placed in the opening for grounding terminal to form a grounding terminal that connects the metallic substrate and the grounding conductor. The grounding conductor does not surround a portion of the circumference of the opening for grounding terminal.
Abstract:
A semiconductor package including top-surface terminals for mounting another semiconductor package provides a three-dimensional circuit configuration that can provide removable connection of existing grid-array packages having a standard design. A semiconductor die is mounted on an electrically connected to a circuit substrate having terminals disposed on a bottom side for connection to an external system. The die and substrate are encapsulated and vias are laser-ablated or otherwise formed through the encapsulation to terminals on the top surface of the substrate that provide a grid array mounting lands to which another grid array semiconductor package may be mounted. The bottom side of the vias may terminate and electrically connect to terminals on the substrate, terminals on the bottom of the semiconductor package (through terminals) or terminals on the top of the semiconductor die. The vias may be plated, paste-filled, filled with a low melting point alloy and may have a conical profile for improved plating performance.
