Abstract:
Mesh holes 35a and 59a of upper solid layers 35 and upper solid layers 59 are formed to overlie on one another, so that the insulating properties of interlayer resin insulating layers 50 are not lowered. Here, the diameter of each mesh hole is preferably 75 to 300 &mgr;m. The reason is as follows. If the diameter of the mesh hole is less than 75 &mgr;m, it is difficult to overlay the upper and lower mesh holes on one another. If the diameter exceeds 300 &mgr;m, the insulating properties of the interlayer resin insulating layers deteriorate. In addition, the distance between the mesh holes is preferably 100 to 2000 &mgr;m. The reason is as follows. If the distance is less than 100 &mgr;m, the solid layer cannot function. If the distance exceeds 2000 &mgr;m, the deterioration of the insulating properties of the interlayer resin insulating film occurs.
Abstract:
According to the invention, a microperforation (PMP) process step is combined with the lamination process. To this end, a dielectric layer are and a prefabricated product are placed between a support and a perforation die. The prefabricated product is partially covered by a conducting layer forming structures to be contacted by microvias. Pressure is applied on the perforation die, perforation tips of the perforation die forming microvias for contacting the structures. A surface of the dielectric layer or the prefabricated product is configured or coated to in a manner that the prefabricated product and the dielectric layer stick to each other after the pressure has been applied.
Abstract:
A dielectric film is formed on a free-standing conductive metal layer to form a multi-layer foil comprising a conductive metal layer, a barrier layer and a dielectric oxide layer. Such multi-layer foils are mechanically flexible, and useful for the manufacture of capacitors. Examples of barrier layers include NinullP or NinullCr alloys. After a second layer of conductive metal is deposited on a dielectric oxide surface opposing the first conductive metal layer, the resulting capacitor foil is processed into a capacitor. The resulting capacitor is a surface mounted capacitor or is formed as a integrated or embedded capacitor within a circuit board.

Abstract:
A system and method is described for providing a robust mechanical and electrical connection between two or more circuit boards which may be employed for diagnostic purposes and/or for permanent connections. A spacer block, connection block, or pedestal, preferably made of PCB type material is preferably disposed between two PCBs. The pedestal is preferably dimensioned to space the two PCBs far enough apart that the surface mount components on two boards connected employing the inventive pedestal do not interfere with one another. The pedestal preferably provides for ample signal density and signal quality because of the block thickness and availability of insulation within the pedestal.
Abstract:
A dielectric structure, and an associated method of fabrication, wherein two fully cured photoimageable dielectric (PID) layers of the structure are nonadhesively interfaced by a partially cured PID layer. The partially cured PID layer includes a power plane sandwiched between a first partially cured PID sheet and a second partially cured PID sheet. The partially cured PID layer be formed either in isolation, or by successively forming upon one of the fully cured PID layers: the first partially cured PID sheet, the power plane, and the second partially cured PID sheet. The first partially cured PID sheet and the second partially cured PID sheet is the result of partially curing, by radiative exposure, a first uncured PID sheet and a second uncured PID sheet, respectively. The fully cured PID layers each include an internal power plane, a plated via having a blind end conductively coupled to the internal power plane, and a plated via passing through the fully cured PID layer. The dielectric structure may further include a first PID film partially cured by radiation and nonadhesively coupled to one of the fully cured PID layers. The dielectric structure may further include a second PID film partially cured by radiation and nonadhesively coupled to the other fully cured PID layer. The partially cured PID material of the dielectric structure may be fully cured by pressurization and/or elevated temperature.
