Abstract:
A high dielectric constant composite material obtained by subjecting submicron particles of an inorganic filler containing a metal as its essential component to an insulating treatment such as a chemical treatment, further subjecting to a surface treatment for improving their compatibility with organic resins, and then dispersing in an organic resin, has a dielectric constant of 15 or above, with its dielectric loss tangent in the frequency region of from 100 MHz to 80 GHz being 0.1 or less, and can therefore be used effectively for multilayer wiring boards and module substrates.
Abstract:
In a multilayer printed wiring board comprising a multilayer core board having conductor layers in its innerlayer, and interlaminar resin insulating layers and conductor layers alternately laminated on a substrate to form buildup wiring layer connecting the conductor layers through via-hole, the multilayer core board has a resin insulating layer covering the innerlayer conductor circuits formed on the core material, and a via-hole is formed in the resin insulating layer so as to arrive at the innerlayer conductor circuit through the layer, and a through-hole is formed in the resin insulating layer and a filler is filled in the through-hole. A part of the via-hole in the buildup wiring layer is located just above the through-hole and connected to the through-hole. Even if the core board is multilayered, there can be provided a multilayer printed wiring board suitable for the high densification of through-holes which can sufficiently ensure the electrical connection to the innerlayer circuits in the core board through the through-holes.

Abstract:
High melting temperature Pb/Sn 95/5 solder balls (18) are connected to copper pads on the bottom of a ceramic chip carrier substrate (10) by low melting temperature eutectic Pb/Sn solder. The connection is made by quick reflow to prevent dissolving Pb into the eutectic solder and raising its melting temperature. Then the module is placed on a fiberglass-epoxy circuit board with the solder balls on eutectic Pb/Sn solder bumps on copper pads of the board. The structure is reflowed to simultaneously melt the solder on both sides of the balls to allow each ball to center between the carrier pad and circuit board pad to form a more symmetric joint. This process results in structure that are more reliable under high temperature cycling. Also, to further improve reliability, the balls are made as large as the I/O spacing allows without bridging beam on balls; the two pads are about the same size with more solder on the smaller pad; the pads are at least 75% of the ball diameter; and the eutectic joints are made as large as possible without bridging between pads. For reliability at even higher temperature cycles or larger substrate sizes columns are used instead of balls.

An antistatic pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, particularly for use in masking printed circuit boards during wave soldering, comprises 1. a polymeric film support (4) e.g. of polyimide film; 2. an intermediate electrically conductive layer (5, 12) e.g. of polymeric binder (7) containing relatively small electrically conductive filler particles (6), or a metal foil (12); and 3. a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive (8, 15), the adhesive either containing relatively large electrically-conductive particles (9) which provide conductive pathways from one main face (3) of the adhesive layer to the other (11), or being penetrated by protrusions (14) from the intermediate layer (12) which provide such pathways, the polymeric film support, intermediate layer and adhesive layer all being resistant to temperatures up to 250 o C for up to 5 seconds.
