A fine pitch pattern multilayer printed circuit board has laminar stackable board layers providing power distribution, signal distribution and capacitive decoupling. The board layers may be fabricated by beginning with a metallic core 1, patterning the core, selectively enclosing the core in a dielectric 6, selectively depositing metal 12 to form vias 13, plugs 14 and signal lines 16, and forming dendrites 19 with joining metallurgy on the vias and plugs to provide stackable connections from above or below the plane of the board layer. In addition, a sol-gel process may be used to form a thin high dielectric constant crystalline film 27 onto a metallic sheet 26 followed with a deposition of a metallic layer 29 onto the high dielectric constant film. The film serves as the dielectric of a capacitor layer which is thereafter in succession patterned, covered by a dielectric 40, and has selectively deposited a metallic layer 42 for interconnecting the capacitor and forming vias 37, 38. The ends of the vias are thereafter subject to dendritic growth and joining metallurgy to provide stackable interconnection capability. A multilayer composite laminar stackable circuit board structure is created using, as appropriate, layers having metallic cores and layers having capacitively configured cores. The multilayer laminar stackable circuit board provides direct vertical connection between surface mounted electronic components and the power, signal and capacitive decoupling layers of the composite board through the dendrites and joining metallurgy of the via and plug formations.

A memory module 8 includes a power distribution assembly in the form of plates 15, 17 forming a capacitor of low inductance and a flexible circuit substrate 12. The circuit substrate is populated with precisely positioned contact pads for the power, read, write and address lines of memory chips 32 that contact the substrate. Memory chips are fixed to heat spreaders 30 and loaded into a chip holder 18 which positions the chips for contact with the contact pads on the substrate. The substrate contact pads are plated to form dendritic crystals of palladium and the memory chips are provided with solder balls on the contact pads of the memory chip, or vice versa. The solder balls are held in contact with the contact pads by the compressive forces of clamping a heat sink 20 over the heat spreaders.

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.

A multilayer board (10) is comprised of upper (14) and lower (16) conductive layers with an insulative layer (12) sandwiched therebetween. Geometric patterns are defined in the upper layer alternately by slots (32) extending therethrough and material sections (36) between the ends of adjacent slots. Identical geometric patterns are defined in the lower conductive layer in vertical registry with the upper patterns with slots and material sections in the lower layer corresponding to material sections and slots of identical length and orientation vertically thereabove respectively in the upper section. All material sections in either the upper or lower layer thereby have a correlative slot therebelow or thereabove in vertical registry in the lower or upper layer, respectively. With respect to a given preselected pattern, by punching through the slots in the upper and lower layers partially defining the pattern and continuing therethrough to penetrate through the opposing correlative vertically aligned material section of the lower or upper layer, a micro-panel is thereby formed in the shape of the pattern upon severance from the board. Due to slot-material section configuration so that no conductive material is directly in vertical alignment with a slot, upon severance conductive material of one layer is prevented from smearing and thereby shorting out to the other conductive layer.

An interconnect strip is provided for effecting electrical interconnection between pluralities of conductor pads disposed on circuit boards or the like in a high density configuration. The strip is fabricated from a polymer film carrier (10,30) having laminated thereon a metal foil with preselected spring properties. After lamination, lithographic techniques form a series of electrically isolated metallic beams (20) on the carrier. Additional chemical processing removes portions of the carrier at opposing sides of the strip to expose opposing ends of the beams which extend beyond the carrier parallel to one another in opposing directions outwards from the carrier. By urging the pads towards respective beam ends of the strip disposed between the pads until mating engagement therewith, a plurality of electrical interconnections are established through the beams. Flexural properties of the strip provide a low insertion force connection for a high density of conductors wherein the spring action of the strip assures favorable contact forces to the pads. The exposed film side of the strip may also be metalized and provided with beams or interconnected to beams on opposing side of the film by vias thereby providing a ground plane.

A plurality of sequential controlled magnetic repulsion punches (16) arranged in a variable array are disposed adjacent a constant velocity substrate (4). The array of punches is placed at an angle with respect to the perpendicular of the movement of the substrate and straight rows of holes along the perpendicular are formed as the punches are sequentially fired. Due to the angle of the array, there is a time delay between the first and each subsequent punch being energised. Therefore, a single power supply is capable of providing energy to a group of punches. It is further possible to punch straight rows of holes perpendicular to the direction of movement of the substrate and having different centre to centre distance on the same substrate, without the necessity of rearranging the array of punches and performing and additional punching operation.
