Abstract:
A substrate material (130) for mounting an integrated circuit (100) contains a non-electrically-conductive mesh (135) of thermally-conductive material. Because the mesh is electrically-non-conductive, it can purposely be configured to contact any and all of the circuit traces (155) that are proximate to the substrate, thereby using the circuit traces (155) as thermally-coupled heat sinks. In a preferred embodiment, the thermally-conductive mesh (135) replaces the structural fiberglass mesh that is conventionally used in substrates, thereby allowing the mesh (135) to serve a dual structural and thermal function.
Abstract:
Thin layer capacitors are formed from a first flexible metal layer (402,502), a dielectric layer (404,504) between about 0.03 and about 2 microns deposited thereon, and a second flexible metal layer (406,506) deposited on the dielectric layer (404,504). The first flexible metal layer may either be a metal foil (402), such as a copper, aluminum, or nickel foil, or a metal layer (502) deposited on a polymeric support sheet (501). Depositions of the layers is by or is facilitate by combustion chemical vapor deposition or controlled atmosphere chemical vapor deposition.
Abstract:
In order to restrict a local concentration of an electric field in a conductor layer end portion (11a, 15a) of an insulating circuit board and increase a partial electric discharge starting voltage, thereby improving an insulating reliability of the insulating circuit board and a power semiconductor apparatus employing the same, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a insulating circuit board comprising the step of applying a voltage between the circuit patterns of the insulating circuit board in an atmospheric or depressurized gas so as to allow the circuit board to discharge electricity, or irradiating a laser beam, thereby a projection shape of the end portion (11a, 15a) of the electrode conductor (3, 6) is melted and smoothened so as to restrict the concentration of the electric field.
Abstract:
A multilayer wiring board (101) comprises: a metal substrate (102) as a core, a condenser dielectric layer (102a) formed to cover the metal layer (102) and a condenser electrode metal layer (104) formed to cover the condenser dielectric layer (102a), so that a condenser is defined by the metal substrate (102), the condenser dielectric layer (102a) and the condenser electrode metal layer (104). The condenser dielectric layer (102a) is provided with a first contact hole (102b) to communicate with the metal substrate (102) and the condenser electrode metal layer (104) is provided with a second contact hole (104b) to communicate with the first contact hole, the diameter of the second contact hole (104b) being larger than that of the first contact hole (102b). An insulating layer (111) is formed on the condenser electrode metal layer (104) and is provided with a via hole to communicate with the metal substrate through the second and first contact holes (102b,104b). A metal substrate contact metal layer (112a) is formed on an inner wall of the via hole, so that the metal substrate contact metal layer (112a) comes into electrical contact with the metal substrate (102).
