Abstract:
A micro solder pot includes a dielectric substrate having at least one hole formed therein, a conductive coating coupled to the interior of the hole, and at least one heat transfer pad spaced from the hole in thermal communication with the conductive coating of the hole. When the heat transfer pad is exposed to a heat source, the conductive coating inside the hole is heated. The micro solder pot may also include a thermally activated conductive material disposed within the hole. When the heat transfer pad is exposed to a heat source, the thermally activated conductive material becomes liquidus such that a component can be inserted into the liquidus material. When the heat source is removed, the thermally activated conductive material cools to couple the component to the conductive coating in the hole.
Abstract:
A multilayer module comprised of stacked IC package layers is disclosed. A plurality of layers preferably having ball grid array I/O are stacked and interconnected using one or more interposer layers for the routing of electronic signals to appropriate locations in the module through angularly depending leads. The stack is further comprised of an interface PCB for the routing of electronics signals to and from the layers in the module and for connection to an external circuit.
Abstract:
A circuit board or each circuit board of a multi-layer circuit board includes an electrically conductive sheet coated with an insulating top layer covering one surface of the conductive sheet, an insulating bottom layer covering another surface of the conductive sheet and an insulating edge layer covering an edge of the conductive sheet. An insulating interlayer can be sandwiched between a pair of adjacent circuit boards of a multi-layer circuit board assembly. A landless through-hole or via can extend through one or more of the circuit boards for connecting electrical conductors on opposing surfaces thereof.
Abstract:
An electronic unit includes a module (1) in which a semiconductor device (3) is attached on the bottom of a circuit board (2) and which has lands (4) provided on the bottom of the circuit board, and a printed circuit board (5) on which the module is mounted, the printed circuit board having a hole (5a) in a position facing the semiconductor device and having electrical conductors (6) to which the lands are soldered. The module is mounted on the printed circuit board by soldering the lands to the electrical conductors while the semiconductor device is disposed in the hole. Accordingly, the electronic unit is smaller in height than conventional electronic units. Such a structure allows the module to be surface-mounted on the printed circuit board with solder paste, and thus high productivity of the electronic unit can be achieved.
Abstract:
A ceramic substrate (1) has two side surfaces (64, 65) in a lengthwise direction (X) and two side surfaces (66, 67) in a widthwise direction Y intersecting each other, and is also provided with at least one flat surface (68) in a thicknesswise direction (Z). Internal electrode films (2 to 11) are embedded in the ceramic substrate (1) with film surfaces thereof extending roughly parallel to the flat surface (68) of the ceramic substrate (1). External electrodes (44, 55) are each provided on the flat surface (68) of the ceramic substrate (1) toward one of the two ends of the ceramic substrate (1) in the lengthwise direction (X), are electrically continuous with the internal electrode films (2 to 11) and are formed over distances (d11, d12) and (d21, d22) from the two side surfaces (66, 67) in the widthwise direction (Y).
Abstract:
The electronic device of the invention is such constructed that the antenna part (3) and the RF circuit part (4) can show their respective functions even after the antenna part (3) and the RF circuit part (4) have been separated. Besides a scribe line 6 is formed on a-preferably ceramic-substrate for separating the antenna part (3) from the RF circuit part (4). Both parts may be separated after a change in any environmental condition, such as a change in the circuit configuration of the board on which the device (10) is to be mounted.
