Abstract:
Methods of forming molded panel coreless package structures are described. Those methods and structures may include fabrication of embedded die packages using large panel format and use of molding to improve rigidity of the panel, as well as to embed the die in a non-sacrificial mold material. The methods and structures described include methods for manufacturing thin, coreless substrate architectures which possess low warpage.
Abstract:
A component-embedded substrate includes an electrically insulating base (11) of resin, an electric or electronic embedded component (8) and a dummy embedded component (7) both embedded in the insulating base (11), a conductor pattern (18) formed on at least one side of the insulating base (11) and connected directly to or indirectly via a connection layer (6) to the embedded component (8) and the dummy embedded component (7), and a mark (10) formed on a surface of the dummy embedded component (7) and used as a reference when the conductor pattern (18) is formed, whereby positional accuracy of the conductor pattern (18) relative to the embedded component (8) can be improved.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pin-less registration and inductive heating system involving the use of a pre-alignment station for imaging an initial position of a laminate element, an imaging and computer operation control system for determining a required correction factor between an alignment of the laminate element at the pre-alignment station and a preferred stack orientation for the laminate element, and an alignment and transfer system for securely gripping, transferring, and repositioning a laminate element from a top position to the preferred stack orientation employing a preferred four-axis orientation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for connecting a plurality of elements for a circuit board, comprising the following steps: providing the elements of a circuit board to be connected to each other, the elements having contours adapted to each other; arranging the elements to be connected to each other in close proximity in at least one of two peripheral areas that have complementary contours, while maintaining a distance between opposing peripheral areas; and mechanically connecting the opposing peripheral areas by means of at least one sub-area thereof in order to connect the elements of the circuit board to be connected to each other. Furthermore, a circuit board produced from a plurality of elements connected to each other is provided.
Abstract:
The method includes forming an annular seat and main marks on a metal layer simultaneously so that the annular seat opposes with a terminal of an electronic component when the component is placed above the annular seat at a subsequent step; then positioning the electronic component in a mounting expected region using the main marks and mounting the electronic component with an adhesive layer therebetween; then burying the electronic component and the main marks in an insulating substrate; then removing part of the metal layer and thereby forming first and second windows; then irradiating the adhesive layer with laser using the exposed main marks thereby forming a laser via hole; and then filling the laser via hole with copper and forming a wiring pattern from the metal layer electrically connected to the terminal through a conductive via.

Embodiments of the invention include flexible circuit board interconnections and methods regarding the same. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method of connecting a plurality of flexible circuit boards together comprising the steps applying a solder composition between an upper surface of a first flexible circuit board and a lower surface of a second flexible circuit board; holding the upper surface of the first flexible circuit board and the lower surface of the second flexible circuit board together; and reflowing the solder composition with a heat source to bond the first flexible circuit board and the second flexible circuit board together to form a flexible circuit board strip having a length longer than either of the first flexible circuit board or second flexible circuit board separately. In an embodiment the invention includes a circuit board clamp for holding flexible circuit boards together, the clamp including a u-shaped fastener; a spring tension arm connected to the u-shaped fastener; and an attachment mechanism connected to the spring tension arm. Other embodiments are also included herein.
Abstract:
A first alignment mark is given to a substrate, and a second alignment mark is given to a mask. The mask forms an electronic circuit pattern on the substrate. A control unit performs alignment of the mask and the substrate based on the first and second alignment marks. The second alignment mark is formed to surround the first alignment mark. The second alignment mark has a step pattern therein.
Abstract:
Method for printing on a wafer (1) by screen-printing, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: producing at least two first test-patterns (5a-5d) on the surface (4) of the wafer (1); printing at least four second test-patterns (6a-6d), distinct from the at least two first test-patterns (5a-5d), during printing on the surface (4) of the wafer (1) by screen-printing; measuring the actual distance obtained on the surface (4) of the wafer (1) between the first test-patterns (5a-5d) and the second test-patterns (6a-6d); comparing this actual distance with a theoretical distance in order to deduce therefrom the offset of the screen-printing screen (25) of the printing.
Abstract:
An electronic component includes a plurality of electrodes provided in a rectangular or substantially rectangular box-shaped area on an upper surface of a substrate, an electronic component element mounted on the substrate by flip-chip bonding, and an identification mark. The identification mark is provided between a first electrode, which is arranged along one side of the rectangular or substantially rectangular box-shaped area, and a second electrode, which is adjacent to the first electrode along the one side, of the plurality of electrodes provided on the upper surface of the substrate, and is located on or outside a line connecting the outer side edges of the first and second electrodes.
Abstract:
A an optical module includes a circuit board provided with an optical element selected from a light-receiving element and/or a light-emitting element; a lens where light from the optical element passes through; an alignment mark serving as an indicator for alignment with the optical element; and an optical waveguide formed to input/output light into/from the optical element through the lens.
