Abstract:
A system for transmitting or receiving signals may include a dielectric substrate having a major face, a communication circuit, and an electromagnetic-energy directing assembly. The circuit may include a transducer configured to convert between RF electrical and RF electromagnetic signals and supported in a position spaced from the major face of the substrate operatively coupled to the transducer. The directing assembly may be supported by the substrate in spaced relationship from the transducer and configured to direct EM energy in a region including the transducer and along a line extending away from the transducer and transverse to a plane of the major face.

Abstract:
A module including a circuit board including an insulating layer and one or more layers of copper foil embedded in the insulating layer; an electronic component mounted on the circuit board; a sealing part sealing the electronic component on the circuit board; and a metal film covering side surfaces of the circuit board and surfaces of the sealing part. A part of the copper foil is exposed to the side surfaces of the circuit board, an exposed part of the copper foil has a width of less than 200 µm, and the copper foil and the metal film are electrically coupled to each other through the exposed part. Thus, occurrence of blushing, crack, or the like, can be prevented.

Abstract:
A card manufacturing technique and the resulting card are provided. The card has a ground and/or power layer (112) extending to the edges of a circuit board for electrostatic discharge protection but also has gaps (112a) at the edge of the ground and/or power layer (112) to avoid short circuiting with conductive segments (160) of another layer deformed when the card is trimmed during manufacture.
Abstract:
A producing method of a wired circuit board includes the steps of preparing a two-layer base material including a metal supporting layer and an insulating layer, covering an upper surface of the insulating layer and respective side end surfaces of the insulating layer and the metal supporting layer with a photoresist, placing a photomask so as to light-shield an end portion and a portion where a conductive layer is to be formed of the upper surface, exposing to light the photoresist covering the upper surface from above the photoresist via the photomask, exposing to light the photoresist covering the respective side end surfaces from below the photoresist, forming an exposed portion of the photoresist into a pattern by removing an unexposed portion thereof to form a plating resist, and forming an end-portion conductive layer and the conductive layer.
Abstract:
Provided is a process for creating vias for a circuit assembly including the steps of (a) applying a curable coating composition to a substrate, some or all of which is electrically conductive, to form an uncured coating thereon; (b) applying a resist over the uncured coating; (c) imaging the resist in predetermined locations; (d) developing the resist to expose predetermined areas of the uncured coating; (e) removing the exposed areas of the uncured coating; and (f) heating the coated substrate of step (e) to a temperature and for a time sufficient to cure the coating. Also disclosed is a process of fabricating a circuit assembly.
Abstract:
Methods and systems of protecting substrates (200) that are intended for use in fluidic devices are described. In accordance with one embodiment, sealant material is applied over one or more edges (202) of at least one multichip module substrate (142) that is intended for use in a fluidic device.
