Abstract:
A cable 1 is configured of connecting portions 12 on both ends for connecting to external connecting terminals and an intermediate portion 13. Each connecting portion 12 has electroconductive portions 14 for connecting with external connecting terminals. The cable 1 is formed by layering multiple elastomer sheets 1H. Each elastomer sheet 1H is formed with an elastomer raw material having no electroconductivity as a base, with rectangular elastomer regions 1T having electroconductivity on both ends and transmission paths for connecting the rectangular elastomer regions 1T on both ends.

The contact structure includes a contact location, and contact elements disposed substantially on the contact location, at least one such contact element including a deformable center and a conducting layer covering at least a part of the deformable center.
Abstract:
Methods of forming a microelectronic structure are described. Embodiments of those methods include placing an anisotropic conductive layer comprising at least one compliant conductive sphere on at least one interconnect structure disposed on a first substrate, applying pressure to contact the compliant conductive spheres to the at least one interconnect structure, removing a portion of the anisotropic conductive layer to expose at least one of the compliant conductive spheres; and then attaching a second substrate to the anisotropic conductive layer.

The intermediate portion 13 is narrow even though capable of parallel transmission, and the electroconductive portions 14 are capable of flexibly connecting with external connecting terminals due to the anisotropic electroconductivity thereof.
Abstract:
An interposer comprising a non-conductive carrier sheet with a pre-arranged pattern of conductive interconnect members positioned therethrough and formed from an elastomeric thermoplastic with suspended spherical and non-spherical conductive particles. The non-spherical conductive particles of the present invention are positioned substantially perpendicularly to and partially through the contact faces of the interconnect member, thereby resulting in higher conductivity and efficiency. The interposer is formed by a mold comprising two sections with first and second sets of vias formed in the first and second mold sections, respectively, which permit the injected elastomer mixture to flow completely through the mold cavity and thereby aligns the non-spherical conductive particles. The exit side of the mold is further contacted by support posts of a separable mold interface creating a network of vent passages for venting of air and the elastomer mixture, resulting in less pressure within the mold and less mold flash.

A semiconductor module and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor module including at least one chip package, at least one module board, at least one conductive element provided between the first chip package and the module board and a protector for applying pressure to the conductive element, the module board, and the first chip package and/or acting as a heat sink for the first chip package.
Abstract:
A method of electrical isolation for printed circuit board gasketing is disclosed for enabling gasketing to overlay plated through holes without shorting out thereto. The method of electrical isolation for printed circuit board gasketing includes counterboring at a controlled width to a controlled depth those plated through holes underlying the gasketing. The method provides the advantage of being able to overlay gasketing on both surfaces of a printed circuit board mid-plane. The method of electrical isolation for printed circuit board gasketing is particularly useful for overcoming the additional material requirements and processing steps of electrical isolation known in the art.
Abstract:
A compliant contact pin assembly and a contactor card system are provided. A compliant contact pin assembly includes a contact pin formed from a portion of a substrate with the contact pin compliantly held suspended within the substrate by a compliant coupling structure. The suspension within the substrate results in a compliant deflection orthogonal to the plane of the substrate. The contact pin assembly is formed by generally thinning the substrate around the contact pin location and then specifically thinning the substrate immediately around the contact pin location for forming a void. The contact pin is compliantly coupled, in one embodiment by compliant coupling material, and in another embodiment by compliantly flexible portions of the substrate.
