The first row terminals are arranged adjacent to an insertion side edge of the substrate, the first row terminals including a first power terminal, the insertion side edge being one of the first pair of side edges. The second row terminals are arranged further from the insertion side edge than the first row terminals, the second row terminals including a second power terminal. At least one terminal among the first and second row terminals includes a recess area in an exposed surface of the at least one terminal.
Abstract:
A Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT) device including at least one CMUT element with at least one CMUT cell is formed. A patterned dielectric layer thereon including a thick and a thin dielectric region is formed on a top side of a single crystal material substrate. A second substrate is bonded to the thick dielectric region to provide at least one sealed micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) cavity. The second substrate is thinned to reduce a thickness of said second substrate to provide a membrane layer. The membrane layer is etched to form a movable membrane over said MEMS cavity and to remove said membrane layer over said top side substrate contact area. The thin dielectric region is removed from over said top side substrate contact area. A top side metal layer is formed including a trace portion coupling said top side substrate contact area to said movable membrane. From a bottom side surface of said first substrate, etching is performed to open an isolation trench around said single crystal material to form a through-substrate via (TSV) plug of said single crystal material at least under said top side substrate contact area which is electrically isolated from surrounding regions of said single crystal material.

A printed wiring board includes an insulating substrate having a penetrating hole formed through the substrate, a first conductive pattern formed on first surface of the substrate, a second conductive pattern formed on second surface of the substrate on the opposite side of the first surface, and a through-hole conductor formed in the penetrating hole in the substrate such that the conductor is connecting the first conductive pattern on the first surface of the substrate and the second conductive pattern on the second surface of the substrate. The penetrating hole has a first opening portion opening on the first surface of the substrate, a second opening portion opening on the second surface of the substrate and a third opening portion connecting the first and second opening portions, and the third opening portion has the maximum diameter which is greater than the minimum diameters of the first and second opening portions.
Abstract:
An opening is formed in resin 20 by a laser beam so that a via hole is formed. At this time, copper foil 22, the thickness of which is reduced (to 3 μm) by performing etching to lower the thermal conductivity is used as a conformal mask. Therefore, an opening 20a can be formed in the resin 20 if the number of irradiation of pulse-shape laser beam is reduced. Therefore, occurrence of undercut of the resin 20 which forms an interlayer insulating resin layer can be prevented. Thus, the reliability of the connection of the via holes can be improved.
Abstract:
A multilayer wiring board assembly component comprises: an insulating substrate component (the insulating resin layer 111); a conductive layer 112 formed on one surface of said insulating substrate component 111 in the form of an electrode pattern; an adhesive layer 113 formed on the other surface of said insulating substrate component 111; and a conductive resin composition 115 with which is filled a through hole passing through said insulating substrate component 111, said adhesive layer and said conductive layer in order to make interlayer interconnection. The bore diameter of the conductive layer portion 114b of the through hole 114 is smaller than the bore diameter of the insulating resin layer portion and the adhesive layer portion 114a to establish electrical connection between the conductive resin composition 115 and the conductive layer 112 by the rare surface 112a of the conductive layer 112.
Abstract:
Conductive paste containing tin particles and silver particles is packed in a substantially cylindrical via hole formed in a thermoplastic resin film that interposes between conductor patterns and is hot-pressed from both sides. When the metal particles contained in the conductive paste are sintered to form a unified conductive compound, the volume of the conductive paste shrinks. Synchronously, the resin film around the via-hole protrudes into the via-hole. Therefore, the shape of the side wall on the cross-section of the conductive compound provides an arch shape, and a side wall adjacent to a junction part of the conductive compound, which contacts the conductor pattern, is formed with an inclination. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the stress concentration due to deformation of the board.
Abstract:
The method for producing a printed wiring board comprising the steps of preparing a conductive substrate, forming an insulating layer on one surface of the said substrate, forming at least one via hole in the insulating layer, thermally curing the insulating layer, and reducing at least one oxidized layer formed on the other conductive surface of the substrate during the curing operation. Alternatively, the thermal cure may be accomplished in an atmosphere (e.g., reducing gas, inactive gas, or mixtures thereof) not conducive to oxide formation on metallized circuit surfaces.
Abstract:
An opening is formed in resin by a laser beam so that a via hole is formed. Copper foil, the thickness of which is reduced to 3 &mgr;m by etching to lower the thermal conductivity, is used as a conformal mask. Therefore, an opening is formed in the resin and the number of irradiation of pulse-shape laser beam is reduced. Thus, occurence of undercut of the resin, which forms an interlayer insulating resin layer, can be prevented and the reliability of the connection of the via holes can be improved.

A contact terminal on a mating circuit side or electrical component side is brought into contact with the conductive surface of the circuit conductor 2. A second circuit board is laminated on the resin substrate, and an insertion hole for allowing the conductive surface of the circuit conductor 2 to be exposed is provided in the second circuit board, and the contact terminal is inserted in the insertion hole. Other contact terminals on the mating circuit side or electrical component side are brought into contact with circuits of the second circuit board.
