Abstract:
Before a laminated body is subjected to hot pressing, at least two or more land electrodes are displaced from each other as viewed in the lamination direction, whereby at least two or more gaps disposed in the lamination direction are displaced from each other as viewed in the lamination direction. The hot pressing on the laminated body causes resin materials that compose resin films to flow and fill the gaps in the laminated body. Consequently, the planarity of a multilayer substrate can be improved to a greater extent than in a case where a plurality of gaps disposed in the lamination direction is located at the same position as viewed in the lamination direction.

Abstract:
This relates to systems and methods for providing one or more vias through a module of an electrical system. For example, in some embodiments, the module can include one or more passive elements and/or active of the electrical system around which a packaging has been plastic molded. The module can be stacked under another component of the electrical system. Vias can then be provided that extend through the module. The vias can include, for example, electrically conductive pathways. In this manner, the vias can provide electrical pathways for coupling the component stacked on top of the module to other entities of an electronic device including the electrical system. For example, the component can be coupled to other entities such as other components, other modules, printed circuit boards, other electrical systems, or to any other suitable entity.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a multi-layer printed wiring board including forming a core substrate, forming a first interlayer insulation layer over the core substrate, forming a first filled via in the first interlayer insulation layer, the first filled via having a bottom portion having a first diameter, forming a second interlayer insulation layer over the first interlayer insulation layer, and forming a second filled via in the second interlayer insulation layer, the second filled via having a bottom portion having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, the semiconductor package includes a substrate having multiple layers, from a first layer to a final layer, a die coupled to the first layer, an electrical connector such as a solder ball coupled to the final layer, and a spiral trace disposed and electrically coupled between the die and the electrical connector. Inductance of the spiral trace is selected such that the package has a predetermined impedance. Material, cross-sectional area, number and density of windings, and total overall length of the spiral trace are selected accordingly. In other embodiments, the semiconductor package includes a substrate with multiple layers; a die coupled to the first of the layers; an electrical connector coupled to the final layer; and a spiral trace, in or on the substrate. The spiral trace is near the die, and electrically coupled between the die and the electrical connector.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit substrate is designed and fabricated with a selectively applied transmission line reference plane metal layer to achieve signal path shielding and isolation, while avoiding drops in impedance due to capacitance between large diameter vias and the transmission line reference plane metal layer. The transmission line reference plane defines voids above (or below) the signal-bearing plated-through holes (PTHs) that pass through a rigid substrate core, so that the signals are not degraded by an impedance mismatch that would otherwise be caused by shunt capacitance from the top (or bottom) of the signal-bearing PTHs to the transmission line reference plane. For voltage-plane bearing PTHs, no voids are introduced, so that signal path conductors can be routed above or adjacent to the voltage-plane bearing PTHs, with the transmission line reference plane preventing shunt capacitance between the signal path conductors and the PTHs.
Abstract:
A wiring board has a plurality of wiring layers, a first land, a second land, a first via and a second via. The first land and the second land are formed on at least one wiring layer of the wiring board and are disposed to partially overlap with each other. The first via and the second via are formed in association with the first land and the second land, respectively. The first via and the second via electrically connect a first wiring layer and a second wiring layer of the plurality of wiring layers to each other. The wiring board has a separator that is formed by a hole that separates the first land and the second land from each other.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an electronic testbed, an electronic testbed board, and a method for positioning receptacles for nails in the electronic testbed board. In an embodiment, the electronic testbed board includes a mounting through-hole for mounting a receptacle for a nail. The mounting through-hole is drilled to a suitably precise diameter for mounting the receptacle substantially perpendicular to the testbed board. One or more via-holes are located adjacent the mounting through-hole, and are adapted to allow an electrical connection between any conductive layers provided at the one or more via-holes. The receptacle may be mounted more accurately and the electronic test bed may be built more accurately by separating the functions of the via-holes and the mounting through-hole.
Abstract:
A spacer-connector and connection arrangements between daughter boards and motherboards are disclosed. Assemblies may include a daughter board one or more spacer-connectors spacing the daughter board above a motherboard and conductive elastomers providing electrical connections between the daughter board and spacer-connector and between the spacer-connector and the motherboard. The spacer-connector may include ground, power, digital and/or controlled impedance RF pathways to conduct signals between the daughter board to the mother board.
