An electronic apparatus comprising a transparent conductive layer (10) supported by a substrate (8) and a metal layer (20) of a material having a resistivity lower than that of the transparent conductive layer (10), the metal layer (20) being extended on the transparent conductive layer (10), the transparent conductive layer (10) having an oxidation resistivity higher than that of the metal layer (20) and forming a terminal (10T) for connecting to peripheral circuitry (50). The metal layer (20) extends on an extending portion (10L) of the transparent conductive layer (10) outside the terminal (10T) of the transparent conductive layer (10), and/or on the periphery of or in the vicinity of a coupling area (11) for making the transparent conductive layer (10) to be exposed to the exterior within an area of the terminal (10T) of the transparent conductive layer (10). There is provided an electrically insulating layer (30) which covers at least a part of the terminal (10T) of the transparent conductive layer (10) and the whole of the metal layer (20) and which extends on the area other than the coupling area (11) within the area of the terminal (10T) of the transparent conductive layer (10).

Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a printed circuit board, which comprises a substrate (10), a conductive pattern disposed on a surface of said substrate (10) and a solder mask (30) coated on the surface of said substrate (10) and covered over the conductive pattern. The conductive pattern has a bonding pad (20). The solder mask (30) has an opening (31) corresponding in location to the bonding pad (20) such that a portion of the bonding pad (20) is exposed outside. A space (24) is left between said solder mask (30) and said bonding pad (20) and is communicated with the opening (31). Whereby, a solder ball (50) can be received in the opening (31) and the space (24) and electrically connected to the bonding pad (20), such that the solder ball (50) is held on the printed circuit board securely.
Abstract:
A method and circuit structure (10) for mounting a leadless IC package (30) to a substrate (12) having a thermal pad (14) on a first surface thereof, a plurality of contact pads (16) surrounding the thermal pad (14), and one or more plated vias (18) in the thermal pad (14). The leadless package (30) is attached to the substrate (12) with solder (36) that thermally connects the package (30) to the thermal pad (14). To prevent solder flow into the plated vias (18) during reflow, a solder mask (20,21,22) is provided on the first surface of the substrate (12), at least a portion (21) of which is deposited on the thermal pad (14) and surrounds the plated vias (18) but does not block the plated vias (18). The solder mask portion (21) defines a barrier between the solder (36) and the plated vias (18), but allows for outgassing through the vias (18) during solder reflow.

Abstract:
A bonded structure comprising a board provided with a through hole, a land disposed on the periphery of the through hole, and a lead led out from an electronic part and placed in the through hole. The land comprises an wall face land part on the wall face of the through hole, and front and rear surface land parts on the front and rear surfaces of the board. A fillet for connecting the land with the lead comprises upper and lower fillets parts touching the front and rear surface land parts, respectively, wherein the contour of the upper fillet is smaller than the contour of the lower fillet but larger than the size of the through hole. When a lead-free solder material is employed, occurrence of liftoff can be reduced effectively as compared with a conventional one.
Abstract:
The electronic circuit unit (7) of the present invention is provided with the broad width lands (4a) and the thin width lands (4b) tied with the broad width lands (4a), which are configured by a solder resist (5) that is formed on the surface of the circuit board (1). Owing to this configuration, the solders (12) placed on the thin width lands (4b) are drawn toward the broad width lands (4a), which increases the quantity of the solder build-up (6) on the broad width lands (4b), and accompanied with this increase, swells the heights of the solder build-up (6) on the broad width lands (4b). Thus, the electronic circuit unit (7) of the present invention ensures the soldering.
Abstract:
A printed wiring board with an increased strength of solder is provided by preventing solder bridge formation and increasing the amount of solder adherent thereto. A land (1) serving as a soldering foundation is formed in a star-shape, to minimize the proximal peripheral length (L2) between adjacent lands spaced distance (L1) apart, thus reducing the possibility of solder bridge formation. Since the star-shaped land (1) has a greater area than a rhombic land of identical size, the amount of solder adherent thereto is greater than that of the rhombic land, thus enabling to increase the strength of solder.
