Abstract:
When a semiconductor chip is mounted on a mount substrate by bonding bumps, bonding failure is caused by misalignment between the bumps. Before a semiconductor chip having a plurality of bumps is mounted on a mount substrate (3) having a plurality of bumps (4) by flip chip bonding, a resist layer (5) having a thickness larger than that of the bumps (4) is formed on the mount substrate (3) with the bumps. By patterning the resist layer (5), projecting guides (5A) of semicircular cross section are formed on the mount substrate (3) so as to protrude near the bumps (4) and from a surface on which the bumps (4) are provided, and to have guide faces (curved faces) pointing toward the bumps (4).
Abstract:
At least a particular part of a strip conductor 2 of a wiring circuit board for mounting, wherein the strip conductor is exposed to form a stripe pattern, so that individual conductor can be connected to electrode E of an electronic component, is covered with a solder resist 3. The particular part is one section in the longitudinal direction of a strip conductor having a long end, which section includes an area overlapping an electrode which is connected to a short end and transferred in parallel in the strip width direction up to the position on the strip conductor having a long end. As a result, a structure capable of suppressing a short circuit between an electrode and a wiring pattern can be afforded to a wiring circuit board, even to an electronic component having an electrode formed in high-density and in a zigzag arrangement pattern., which comprises an area overlapping an electrode.
Abstract:
A method for mounting terminal on circuit board includes an applying process for applying solder paste (3) to a circuit board (1), a laying process for laying the connecting ends (4a) of terminals (4) having the connecting ends (4a) and non-connecting ends (4b) on the parts coated with the paste (3), and a heating process for melting paste (3) for soldering the connecting ends (4a) to the board (1). The method also includes a process for applying an adhesive (6) to the board (1). In the laying process, the connecting ends (4a) are brought into contact with the parts coated with the adhesive (6). In the heating process, the paste (3) is melted by heating in a state where the connecting ends (4a) are stuck to the board (1) with the adhesive (6).
Abstract:
A method of forming a printed circuit board using an ink jet print head by printing a three dimensional groove using a curable, non-conductive deposition liquid and depositing a liquid that dries to form a conductive track. The walls on either side of the groove impede the liquid from spreading and consequently larger quantities of the conductive deposition liquid can be deposited without causing a short circuit. A multi layer printed circuit board can be produced by depositing further layers of curable non-conductive deposition liquid over the conductive track, a further conductive track in an upper layer being in contact with a conductive track in a lower layer along a slope formed from the non-conductive deposition liquid.
Abstract:
There is provided a vehicle lighting device employing a plurality of light-emitting diodes (1) as light sources. Mount pads are provided on a light-emitting diode mount surface (21) of a circuit board (2). On the circuit board (2), the mount pads (40) are provided on both sides of a plurality of pairs of through-holes (20). When two leads (12,13) of the light-emitting diode (1) are inserted into the pair of two through-holes (20), respectively, and the light-emitting diode (1) is mounted to the mount pads (40) on the both sides, an air vent space is formed which is defined by the light-emitting diode (1), the circuit board (2), and the mount pads (40) on the both sides. Accordingly, air comes out smoothly of the through-holes (20) via the space (42) when solder (3) is entered the through-holes (20) in an automated soldering process. This allows the light-emitting diodes (1) to be disposed in place relative to the circuit board (2). Furthermore, it is ensured that the leads (12,13) of the light-emitting diodes (1) and conductive traces of the circuit board (2) are connected to each other via solder (3).
Abstract:
A method of improving the life expectancy of surface mount components (10) in electronic assemblies wherein a distance between the printed circuit board and the surface mount component is held to a predetermined distance defined as the stand-off height (16). The relationship between the stand-off height (16) and the life expectancy of the component is directly proportional. A larger stand-off height (16) translates into a longer life expectancy. The stand-off height (16) is limited only by manufacturing constraints, such as process limitations and cost concerns. The stand-off height (16) is set to a predetermined dimension by way of a spacer (28) positioned between the surface mount component (10) and the printed circuit board (12).

Abstract:
Through holes (18) of a printed circuit board (10, 12) are plated by electroless metal deposition. A plating mask (22) has openings (24) which are larger than the conductive areas (19) around the through holes. Shielding portions (28), which may be of a solder resist material, prevent undesired deposition of metal on the substrate (10) and can be accurately positioned by screen printing.
