Abstract:
A carrier preferably in the form of a thin insulative and heat-resistant sheet (14) has a plurality of apertures (26) extending therethrough which are preloaded to carry a reflowable electrically conductive solder (28) or paste. Upon positioning the carrier between lands (18-24) of circuit carriers, printed circuit boards, combinations thereof or the like, predetermined electrical interconnections may be effected between such lands by reflow. The electrical interconnection is completed between given upper and lower such lands through the conductive material in a plurality of apertures disposed between the lands. In a preferred embodiment the aperture density relative to the area of the lands to be interconnected is selected to provide redundancy by permitting plural interconnections through apertures to a given land pair. Aperture diameter and amount of reflowable material present therein is further selected whereby upon such reflowing apertures between adjacent pads act as solder dams to prevent undesirable electrical interconnection between such adjacent pads. A system is provided whereby the carrier need not be precisely aligned relative to the land patterns and whereby necessity for precise screening of conductive material to accommodate fine pitch land/pad configurations is eliminated.
Abstract:
Electrically conductive elements on two substrates can be electrically interconnected by an adhesive tape containing electrically conductive equiax particles that are individually positioned in the adhesive layer in a predetermined pattern. Each particle is harder than the elements it is to interconnect, so that hand pressure causes the particles to penetrate into the elements, thus creating a reliable electrical connection. Particularly useful particles are glass beads having a metallic coating that is from 0.1 to 2 µm thick.

Abstract:
A multilayer printed wiring board comprises at least one layer with interlayer connection pattern (200, 300) at the basic grids. The interlayer connection pattern (200, 300) has a clearance (62, 204, 304) when a small diameter through hole (60B) is formed and has a land part (63, 205, 303) contacted to the through hole wall (61A) when a large diameter through hole (60A) is formed. In order to obtain interlayer connection or non-connection, the diameter of a through hole is varied.

Abstract:
Das Basismaterial (101) für elektrische Verbindungselemente, also Leiterplatten, HDIs, Chip Carriers etc. besitzt als Kern eine mit Löchern (104) versehene elektrisch leitende Folie (102), beispielsweise aus Kupfer. Die Folie ist ein Dielektrikum (103) eingebettet. Die Löchern (104) können in einem regelmässigen Raster angeordnet sein. Durch die verstärkende elektrisch leitende Schicht besitzt das Basismaterial hervorragende mechanisch Eigenschaften. Die leitende Schicht wirkt überdies abschirmend, kann also bei kleinen Schichtdicken cross-talk zwischen beidseitig des Basismaterials angebrachten Leiterbahnen verhindern.
Abstract:
The present invention provides electrically conductive sheet materials (10) that contain columns of electrically conductive particles aligned to form continuous columns (19) between lateral faces of the conductive sheet material (10). The particle columns (19) are arranged so that the sheet is conductive through the thickness, but is electrically insulating in lateral directions. The present invention also provides methods by which such electrically conductive sheet materials (10) can be made. The present invention is able to provide conductive pathways in a precise, regular array, at a very fine pitch.
Abstract:
In accordance with the invention, a high density z-direction interconnection medium is made by the steps of providing a non-conductive membrane having z-direction channels, filling the channels with liquid precursor of conductive material, converting the trapped precursor into conductive material within the channels, and, advantageously, forming solder bumps in contact with the conductive material in the channels. The method is particularly useful for forming hollow tubular or porous conductive pathways having enhanced resistance to thermal and mechanical stress. The channels can be conveniently filled by vacuum suction,
