Abstract:
A novel packaging system for VLSI circuits allows low-cost construction and maintenance of complex high density high-performance devices with low power requirements. The devices can be individually created by software means from a small selection of standardizable IC chips by disposing a plurality of chips in leadless chip carriers in a mosaic on a substrate, and configuring them by software to selectively communicate with other chips of the mosaic or even to individually change their operating function. The immediate juxtaposition of the chip carries in the mosaic eliminates transmission line data skew, and also allows considerable savings in chip space and power requirements by dispensing with interconnection drivers, receivers and bonding pads. The chip carrier mosaics may be assembled into modules suitable for plug-in connection to an interconnecting backplane to create even larger devices, and individual modules can be dynamically tested in their high-performance mode by configuring one or more modules as test modules and either plugging them into modules to be tested or making them a permanent part of the device's module array.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating circuit packages which employ macro-components (10) mounted on supporting substrates (20). In order to maintain sufficient clearance between the component and substrate and achieve high reliability bonds, massive solder spheres (16) are applied to contact pads (14) on either the component or substrate. After contact pads of both carrier and substrate are brought into contact with the spheres, the bond is formed by reflowing the solder while maintaining a component to substrate clearance of at least 0.25mm due to surface tension of the solder spheres.
Abstract:
In a leadless chip carrier (LCC) type semiconductor device, a larger number of soldering pads (3, 8) for connection to an external circuit can be formed for a given package size by using different depths of adjacent grooves (611a, 611b, 621a, 621b) formed along the edge face (612, 622) of the package to receive metallization lines (613a, 613b, 623a, 623b). Adjacent soldering pads are therefore located at different depths from the periphery of the package, so that the risk of short circuits caused by solder bridges between adjacent soldering pads is not increased by the increased density.
Abstract:
In a conventional soldering method, an FPC-side electrode pad and a package-side electrode pad are closely joined together with a solder layer, and the soldered state after a joining process has not been easily confirmed visually. Since a conduction inspection on wirings by measuring resistance values, for example, for an electric path including a joint portion needs to be made, quite a long time has been required for the inspection. The present invention provides a solder joint structure including a side face electrode which is formed on each of the side faces of the end parts of an FPC board and a package or PCB board that are to be soldered, extending vertically relative to the faces constituting each of electrode pads on the boards , and which introduces solder. On the side face electrodes of the board end parts, a part of solder that is formed continuously from the solder joint portion is visible and the state of the solder joint between the electrode pads on the two boards can be confirmed. The efficiency of solder joint tests can be improved by providing an electrode pad configuration which allows to form solder joint portions that are sufficiently visible from the side faces of the boards.

An anti-lightning-combined-stripline-circuit system is provided. The anti-lightning-combined-stripline-circuit system includes a stripline board including circuitry, and a metal ground bar attached to the stripline board. The metal ground bar has a geometry configured to function as a ground for the circuitry and simultaneously function as a lightning ground for a linear array of elements driven by the circuitry.
