Abstract:
An electronic device is manufactured using printed circuit board manufacturing processes. In particular, a laminar device comprises a first metal layer (12), a second metal layer (14), at least one layer of device material sandwiched between the first and second metal layers. A first layer of insulating material (40) substantially covers the first metal layer (12). A third metal layer (48) is provided on the first layer of insulating material (40). This third metal layer (48) is divided to provide a first terminal (90) and a second terminal (92). The first terminal (90) is electrically connected to the first metal layer (12) by a conductive interconnect (84) formed through said first layer of insulating material (40), and the second terminal (92) is electrically connected to said second metal layer (14) by a conductive path (68) comprising an insulated conductive channel which passes through and is insulated from said first metal layer (12) and said at least one layer of device material (16). The use of an insulated channel provides a cost effective method of manufacture and maximizes the effective area of device material used. A PTC component is built through this method.
Abstract:
Bare chips (201 to 203) are mounted on regions (101 to 103) of a printed wiring board (100), respectively. The chips are soldered to a motherboard at external electrode pads (105) on their borders. Lead pads (107) and the external electrode pads (105) are interconnected through a circuit pattern (109), through-holes (111) and interstitial via-holes (112). A circuit pattern (109) is disposed on a die bonding surface of the bare IC chips (201, 202) for which insulation is not necessary. A multi-chip module is thus completed.
Abstract:
Bei dem Verfahren zur Herstellung einer ersten Leiterplatte (1) zur Aufnahme einer weiteren Leiterplatte (20) werden Kontaktierungsflächen (11 - 14) auf der ersten Leiterplatte (1) aufgebracht. Es wird eine schlitzförmige Öffnung (4) mit seitlichen Ausbuchtungen (7) in die erste Leiterplatte im Bereich der Kontaktierungsflächen (11-14) eingebracht, um eine Klemmleiste (25) der weiteren Leiterplatte (20) aufnehmen zu können. Die Innenseite (5) der schlitzförmigen Öffnung (4) wird mit einer leitfähigen Schicht (52) überzogen, so dass eine elektrische Verbindung mit den Kontaktierungsflächen (11 - 14) hergestellt wird. Die schlitzförmige Öffnung (9) wird soweit verbreitert, dass die leitfähige Schicht (52) nur noch in den Ausbuchtungen (7) enthalten ist. In einem alternativen Herstellungsverfahren wird anstelle einer Öffnung (4) eine Vertiefung (4') in eine zweite Leiterplatte (1') eingebracht. Dadurch kann die schlitzförmige Vertiefung (4') mit den seitlichen Ausbuchtungen (7) vorteilhaft in einem Arbeitsgang hergestellt werden. Die Vielzahl von Bohrungen zum Erhalt der Vielzahl von Löchern entfällt. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner Herstellungsverfahren für ein Leiterplattensystem sowie durch das Verfahren hergestellte Leiterplatten und Leiterplattensysteme.
