Abstract:
To reduce connection defects between a circuit substrate provided on a core substrate and a circuit to be mounted thereon, thereby improving reliability as a multilayered device mounting substrate. The device mounting substrate includes: a first circuit substrate composed of a substrate, an insulating layer formed on this substrate, and a first conductive layer (including conductive parts) formed on this insulating layer; and a second circuit substrate mounted on the first circuit substrate, being composed of a base, a second conductive layer (including conductive parts) formed on the bottom of the base, and a third conductive layer (including conductive parts) formed on the top of the base. Here, the first and second circuit substrates are bonded by pressure so that the first and second conductive parts are laminated and embedded together into the insulating layer. The first and second conductive parts form connecting areas in the insulating layer, thereby connecting the first and second circuit substrates electrically.
Abstract:
A circuit board which has a high speed digital circuit in close proximity to a sensitive analog structure has a grounded, conductive band interposed between them and a ground plane with two separate, grounded portions, with a first of the portions underlying the digital circuit and a second portion underlying the analog structure. In an exemplary embodiment, the circuit board has a high density of analog-to-digital converter integrated circuits, each with two analog input signals and ten parallel high speed digital output signals corresponding to each input signal. A grounded, conductive band is placed on the board between the inputs and outputs of the integrated circuit, and a ground plane is provide which has separate, interleaved analog and digital areas, with the digital area underlying only portions of the board having digital signals and structures and the analog area underlying only portions of the board having analog signals and structures.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method performing a sequence of processing steps on a load supported by a processing plate. The load can include a single sheet on which a plurality of applications are performed or can include a plurality of panels on which respective applications are performed. For each application, at least one coarse target and at least one panel target are used to adjust the programmed coordinates for that application. After the first application of the load is processed using the coarse and panel targets, coarse and panel targets are located for the second application. Using the alignment provided by these targets, the second application is processed. Each subsequent application is similarly aligned and processed.
Abstract:
A wireless receiving device of the present invention is so arranged that (i) a high-frequency circuit section is provided on a front surface of a printed board and (ii) a digital video signal processing section and a wireless LAN digital signal processing section are provided on a back surface of the printed board. Further, an earth pattern is provided in a middle position between the front and back surfaces of the printed board, so that (i) the high-frequency circuit section and (ii) the digital video signal processing section and the wireless LAN digital signal processing section are shielded from one another using electromagnetic shielding by the earth pattern. Thus, when members that are commonly used for the wireless LAN and for wireless video reception are formed on a single printed board in order to reduce the size of the printed board, it is possible to effectively reduce the lowering of signal quality caused by the noise.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a multilayer wiring substrate, which can preserve the dimensional stability of a conductor pattern at a fine pitch, solve the restriction on a process from the viewpoint of material selection, and further reduce a manufacturing cost, and a multilayer wiring substrate. A second wiring substrate formed on a supporting sheet made of metal and an adhesive layer are partially stacked on a predetermined region of a first wiring substrate by using the supporting sheet. After the lamination of the second wiring substrate, the supporting sheet is finally etched and removed. The second wiling substrate is stacked only on the portion required to be multilayered on the first wiring substrate to thereby reduce the amount of the construction material of the second wiring substrate.

According to the present invention, in a receiver apparatus that converts a radio-frequency signal received via an antenna into video and audio signals, there are arranged on a circuit board: a tuner circuit portion that converts the radio-frequency signal received via the antenna into an intermediate-frequency signal, which is to be outputted; a digital demodulating portion that converts the intermediate-frequency signal outputted from the tuner circuit portion into a compressed digital signal, which is to be outputted; a digital circuit portion that converts the compressed digital signal outputted from the digital demodulating portion into digital video and audio signals, which are to be outputted; and a video/audio output circuit that converts the digital video and audio signals outputted from the digital circuit portion into analog video and audio signals. This makes it possible to realize a receiver system provided with a video display apparatus having a simple configuration.

Abstract:
In a lead frame board, while a heat radiation wall member formed by a resin having a relatively high thermal conductivity is provided in a low heat-resistance heat generating component mounting region where a low heat-resistance heat generating component is mounted, heat block wall members formed by resins having relatively low thermal conductivities are provided in a high heat-resistance heat generating component mounting region where a high heat-resistance heat generating component is mounted and in a non-heat generating component mounting region where a non-heat generating component is mounted. Thus, heat block is performed between the low heat-resistance heat generating component mounting region and the high heat-resistance heat generating component mounting region and non-heat generating component mounting region, and a heat radiation function is enhanced in the low heat-resistance heat generating component.

A method for shielding one or more circuits (21, 21′) of a printed circuit board includes depositing a layer of dielectric material (43) over a printed circuit board substrate (22) and the printed circuits (21, 21′), creating a trench-like opening (44) in the dielectric layer (43) such that the trench-like opening (44) surrounds the one or more circuits (21, 21′) to be shielded, depositing a layer of metal (27) over the layer of dielectric material (43) and within the trench-like openings (44), creating a solder pad (24) at each location where an electrical connection is to be made to the printed circuits (21, 21′) by removing a border of the metal layer (27) surrounding each connection location, and providing a microvia (25) through each solder pad (24) penetrating the dielectric layer (43) and terminating at the metal of the printed circuit (21, 21′).
Abstract:
Electrical mounting boards and methods for their fabrication and use are disclosed herein. In particular, such mounting boards embodiments utilize hybrid ground lines interconnected through a substrate core to form multilayer ground grids. Such hybrid ground lines include groups of substantially parallel ground lines configured such that the groups of ground lines are positioned in transverse arrangement with other groups of ground lines formed on the same level. Such implementations have many uses, including, but not limited to, the ability to more efficiently route signal lines and connect electrical components on a circuit board.
