Abstract:
A semiconductor device si so configured that the circuit patterns formed on both sides of a copper-clad double-sided laminated board are connected to each other by through holes, and IC chips are mounted on the front side, and further, external-connection terminals are provided on the reverse side. In this semiconductor device, the connection terminals are copper core bumps on the land parts of the through holes which are made in diebond patterns. A method of manufacturing semiconductor devices in which copper core bumps are formed on circuit patterns formed on a circuit board, by plating using resist patterns. In this manufacturing method, the parts, where the bumps are to be formed, of the circuit patterns formed by the resist patterns are treated by the same kind of pattern etching as the one used for forming the circuit patterns.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes a method of manufacturing a structure of a thin, flexible package assembly (10) that permits electrical devices (13, 17) to be bonded to an electrical circuit (12) utilizing mixed bonding techniques. A sacrificial metal carrier material (25) is used to support a thin polyimide or TEFLON substrate (11), through which openings, called "vias", are formed at locations where bonding pad areas are needed to affix electrical devices (13, 17). An electrical circuit (12) is formed on the thin flexible substrate (11), including making the vias conductive, utilizing known processes, and then, the sacrificial metal carrier material (25) is removed, as for example by etching it away, except in locations where metal bumps (21, 22, 23, 24) will be needed to bond a device (17) by thermo compression bonding.
Abstract:
Le procédé a pour but d'améliorer les connexions à plat, en vue de diminuer sensiblement la résistance de contact dans ces dernières, généralement importante en raison de défauts de planéité des plages conductrices en vis-à-vis. Il consiste à former sur une première plage conductrice (10) destinée à entrer en contact dans une connexion à plat avec une second plage conductrice, un état de surface faisant apparaître une pluralité de plots (12) régulièrement répartis, puis à appliquer en vis-à-vis et à serrer les deux plages, de manière à établir un contact entre chaque plot et la seconde plage. Applications particulièrement intéressantes aux connexions pour courants forts et aux connexions de lignes rubans en VHF et en hyperfréquence.
Abstract:
Zur Herstellung von mit Kontaktflächen versehenen Gedruckten Schaltungen werden Kupferfolien gegen eine mit erhabenen Flächen in einem vorgegebenen Muster versehene Schablone gepresst und das Innere der in den Kupferfolien entstandenen Prägeabdrücke mit einem aushärtenden Material ausgefüllt. Nach dem Vorpressen mit Prepregs werden aus diesen Vorlaminaten Gedruckte Schaltungen erzeugt. Die Kupferfolien müssen hierbei eine Bruchdehnung > 10% und eine Dicke von 10 bis 100 µm aufweisen.
Abstract:
An interconnect structure for electrically coupling conductive paths (14′,28′) on two adjacent, rigid substrates, such as PC boards or IC chips, comprises a number of buttons (16) formed on a first substrate (12), and a number of contacts (28) formed on a second substrate (26). The buttons are elastically deformable, and include a resilient core (18) made from an organic material such as polyimide, and a metallic coating (20) formed over the core. The two substrates are compressed (F) between mounting plates such that the buttons (16) are pressed against the contacts (28) to make electrical contact.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for making a flexible interconnect for connection between stacks of electronic components. The method includes forming a plurality of holes through a flexible insulating material, depositing electrically conductive metal studs into the holes extending out of at least one side and preferably both sides of the flexible material, and electrically interconnecting some of the electrically conductive metal studs by interconnects supported by the flexible material. The interconnects may be supported from the outside of the flexible material or embedded therein. Dummy studs may be provided in the flexible material extending to the outside and aligned with studs extending on the other side of the insulating material which are connected to the electrical interconnects.

Abstract:
A printed wiring board (10) for IC cards that can be built in or mounted on a contact-type IC card, i.e., on an IC card having external contact terminals. Bumpers (20) are formed on portions of conductor circuits (13) of the printed wiring board (10) for IC cards to make the bumpers (20) serve as external contact terminals. Thus, only the contact surfaces of the ex- temal contact terminals are exposed on the surface of the IC card (30) with the contact surfaces being flush with the surface of an over sheet (14). Therefore, there is provided a printed wiring board (10) for IC cards which completely prevents the IC module (12) from jumping out when the IC card (30) is bent, and in which the external contact terminals exhibit excellent electric contact reliability.

An example HMI assembly (100, 300, 500, 1100) includes a fascia (105), a touch film (110, 513, 1300) having a first raised contact (120), a printed circuit board (PCB) (115, 512, 1200) having a second raised contact (125), and a backer (130, 310, 400, 505, 800, 900, 1010) having an extending member (135, 305, 405, 510, 511, 805, 905) and attached to the fascia (105), the member (135, 305, 405, 510, 800, 900) configured to press the first contact (120) against the second contact (125) by applying a force to the PCB (115, 512) at substantially the second raised contact (125).
Abstract:
A wiring substrate includes a surface layer having electrical insulation properties and a connection terminal having electrical conduction properties and protruding from the surface layer. The connection terminal includes a base portion, a covering portion and a filling portion. The base portion of the connection terminal is made of an electrically conductive first metal and located adjacent to the surface layer so as to extend through the surface layer and protrude from the surface layer. The covering portion of the connection terminal is made of an electrically conductive second metal having a melting point lower than that of the first metal and located so as to cover the base portion. The filling portion of the connection terminal is made of at least one of the second metal and an alloy containing the first and second metals and located so as to fill a hollow in the base portion.
