Abstract:
The electrical connecting element comprises an essentially stiff core, essentially mechanically stiff and PCI/HDIs with conductor paths serving as interconnect, wherein the core comprises two parts (1, 3) which can be fixed to each other. Between the two parts, a cavity (101) can be formed, in which components (103) producing a lot of heat or requiring protection from environmental influences can be placed.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device (14) for implementing a method for setting on a substrate (2) interconnecting balls or preforms (1) comprising the following phases: storing in bulk the preforms (1); seizing in ordered position the preforms (1) with an adapted gripping device (9); setting the preforms (1) on the substrate (2) with the gripping device (9). Said device (14) is characterised in that it consists of at least a matrix for storing the preforms, said matrix comprising a floor capable of acting as stop for the preforms when the matrix is being filled thereby enabling the implementation of a method whereby the passage from bulk storage to ordered storage is performed in masked time. The invention is useful for incorporating or replacing balls in substrates of electronic components.
Abstract:
A stress relaxation type electronic component which is to be mounted on a circuit board, wherein a stress relaxation mechanism member is disposed on a surface of said electronic component, said surface being on a side of a connection portion where said electronic component is to be connected to said circuit board, and said stress relaxation mechanism member is electrically conductive.
Abstract:
Described are a process for soldering at least one component having solder bumps (12) to a substrate and a process for forming solder bumps (12) on metal pads (13) of an element, such as an IC package (10) or substrate (11) or both. The bumps (12) are formed by stencil printing solder paste deposits (21) on the metal pads (13), heating the solder paste deposits (21) to reflow temperature of the solder in the solder paste deposits (21), and allowing the molten solder in each deposit to coalesce and during subsequent cooling solidify forming the bumps (12) on the metal pads. The bumps are formed by conducting the stencil printing through apertures (20) in an ultra-thick stencil (19), the apertures (20) having trapezoidal crossection in the plane normal to the broad surfaces of the stencil with the top opening being smaller than the bottom opening and with the walls of the aperture sloping at an angle within a range of from 1 to 45 degrees from the vertical, the solder paste having a low tackiness and high metal loading, and the solder paste deposits (21) covering an area which is equal to or exceeds an area of the metal pad (13) in any ratio between 1.5:1 and 5:1. Bumps formed in this manner lead to the formation of reliable solder joints.
Abstract:
The hollow multilayer printed wiring board is composed of plural print boards (1), (2), (3), (4) laminated with a predetermined spacing therebetween, each of which has a signal-conducting pattern (6) formed on at least one surface thereof and a land-conducting pattern (7) formed on at least one surface thereof. The board has through-holes (10) which are plated to connect with the land-conducting pattern and each of the through-holes and a plated through-hole in at least one board of the boards adjacent thereto are positioned on a straight line so as to provide a plated through-hole or an interstitial wire hole (12), (13). Formed on at least the upper- and lower- end surfaces of each through-hole (10) are low melting-point metal layers which function as conductors among the signal conducting patterns in 2 or more of the plural boards and as layer-bonding materials for the plural boards. The laminated boards, except at least one of the outer sides, is made of a heat-proof organic plastics-sheet or an insulated metal.
Abstract:
A solder joint assembly technique applies controlled volumes of solder to pads of both package and substrate (31, 32). The two units are positioned adjacent each other with the pads and solder deposits mechanically maintained in registration with each other (34, 35). The assembly is reflowed and the final separation between package and substrate at which the resulting solder joint solidifies is mechanically controlled in order to control a geometry of the resultant solidified joint (36, 37). The solder volume deposits may assume various forms including spherical bumps and solder paste deposits.
