摘要:
High speed high data interconnect apparatus includes a stiffening plate with optical fiber mounting groove defined on a surface thereof. The apparatus further includes a length of optical fiber mounted in the groove on the surface of the stiffening plate in a longitudinally extending direction generally parallel to the surface of the stiffening plate. A reflecting surface is positioned adjacent one, or both, of the opposed ends of the optical fiber to direct light at an angle of approximately ninety degrees to the optical path. A printed circuit board laminate is used to encase the stiffening plate and the optical fiber and includes a light via for the passage of light reflected by the reflecting surface. Bond pads are formed on a surface of the printed circuit board laminate adjacent the light via for the electrical connection of a light element, e.g. a VCSEL or photodiode, in communication with the light via.

A board (10) for testing an integrated circuit disposed on a semiconductor wafer. The board contains a plurality of substantially parallel signal layers (14) and power planes (16) that are supported and electrically isolated by a dielectric material (12). One or more constraint layers (18,20) are disposed in the dielectric material, and the constraint layers have a coefficient of thermal expansion of about 1-6 ppm/.degree.C. In a preferred embodiment, the dielectric material is a fluoropolymer with-a ceramic or silica filler, and the constraint layers are an iron-nickel alloy of about 30-40 percent nickel by weight. The board has thermal expansion characteristics substantially similar to silicon to ensure good contact to a silicon wafer during burn-in testing.

A method for forming a solder-bumped circuit trace on a planar dielectric substrate includes fabricating a trace having an intersection between linear section, depositing onto the trace a uniform thin plate of solder alloy and reflowing the solder alloy to form a bump at the intersection. More particularly, the trace comprises first and second linear sections that intersect at an angle between 45 degrees and 135 degrees and have widths preferably between 50 and 150 microns. The solder plate is deposited, preferably by electroplating, at a thickness between about 10 and 25 microns. Thereafter, when the trace is heated to melt the solder layer, the solder coalesces at the intersection to form the bump.

An improved method is provided for assembling an integrated circuit component to a substrate by a solder bump interconnection that is reinforced by a polymer film. The component is attached to a region of the substrate by a plurality of solder bump interconnections that create a gap between the component interface and the substrate region. A polymer dam is applied to the region encircling the attached component spaced apart therefrom. A liquid polymer precursor material is applied to the region including the gap and is confined by the dam to prevent indiscriminate flow across the substrate. In one aspect of this invention, gas is vented from the gap through a passage in the substrate to enhance fill by the precursor liquid. In another aspect of this invention, the precursor liquid is injected into the gap through a passage in the substrate and spread outwardly therefrom. In any event, the precursor liquid infiltrates the gap about the solder interconnections and is cured to form a film that reinforces and protectively encapsulates the solder interconnections.

A smartcard (10) is formed in part by a laminate layer (77). The laminate layer (77) is made up of a plurality of dielectric layers (11,30), insulating layers (45, 50), resistive layers (55), and electrically active structures. The electrically active structures include a capacitive structure (23) which is formed from one of the dielectric layers (11) and an antennae (32) which is made from a conductive layer that is formed into a spiral pattern on the another dielectric layer (30). These layers (11,30, 45, 50, 55) are formed separately and then pressed together to form the laminate layer (77).

A method for flip-chip bonding of two electronic components (27,28) does not use a flux material. A substrate (13) of one electronic component (28) is roughened during processing to provide an improved adhesive surface for a solder ball (12). The roughened pattern is replicated by additional conductive layers formed over the substrate or in an alternate embodiment may be formed on one of the intermediary or top conductive layers. Tacking pressure is applied to the two components so the solder ball (12) will be affixed to the roughened surface and provide a temporary bond. This bond ensures the surfaces of the two electrical components remain in contact with each other during reflow of the solder ball (12) to form a permanent bond.

A photonic device carrier having a photonic device fixedly mounted on a major side. Mounting pads positioned on the major sides of the carriers are affixed together so that the photonic device is optically aligned with the reflecting surface and light traveling in-to/out-of the optical fiber is directed out-of/in-to the photonic device. The carriers are formed of materials with similar thermal coefficients of expansion, such as silicon and ceramic.
