Abstract:
Printed circuit boards have circuit layers with one or more copper filled through-holes and methods of manufacturing the same. An aspect of an embodiment of the present invention enhances thermal characteristics of filled through-holes of printed circuit boards to provide extra reliability to the printed circuit boards. In one embodiment, a printed circuit broad has a plurality of through-holes to connect copper patterns on different layers of the printed circuits broad. Here, at least one of the through-holes is copper plated closed at both ends with at least 70% volume of the through-hole plated with copper to, e.g., enhance thermal characteristics of the through-hole, thereby providing extra reliability to the printed circuit board. In one embodiment, the printed circuit board includes a surface conductor (or cap) that is directly plated over the copper filled barrel plated through-hole.

Abstract:
A cooling module assembly method comprises a step of providing a circuit board (1), at least one heat-generating element (4) and a heat dissipating unit (2). The cooling module assembly method is characterized in that: forming at least one through-hole (11) on the circuit board (1); coupling the circuit board (1) to the heat dissipating unit (2) so that a face of the circuit board (1) is coupled to a coupling face (21) of the heat dissipating unit (2); filling the at least one through-hole (11) with metal solders (3); fixing the at least one heat-generating element (4) to another face (13) of the circuit board (1), wherein the at least one heat-generating element (4) aligns with and covers the at least one through-hole (11); and soldering the at least one heat-generating element (4) and the heat dissipating unit (2) together by melting the metal solders (3) in the at least one through-hole (11).
Abstract:
A flexible substrate 10 of the present invention is the flexible substrate comprising a first resin film 1 having flux activity and a second resin film 2 different from the first resin film 1 laminated to said first resin film. The flexible substrate 10 is characterized in that the flexible substrate 10 is used by having a plurality of electronic components mounted on the surface of the first resin film 1, and thereafter having the respective electronic components and the flexible substrate 10 bonded at one time. The gel time of the first resin film 1 at 230°C is 100 seconds or more and 600 seconds or less.
