Abstract:
A disk drive suspension interconnect, and method therefor. The interconnect has a metal grounding layer, a metal conductive layer and an insulative layer between the metal grounding layer and the conductive metal layer. A circuit component such as a slider is electrically connected to the conductive layer along a grounding path from the circuit component and the conductive layer to the metal grounding layer through an aperture in the insulative layer. For improved electrical connection a tie layer is provided through the insulative layer onto the grounding layer in bonding relation with the ground layer. A conductor is deposited onto both the conductive metal layer and the tie layer in conductive metal layer and tie layer bonding relation, and the circuit component is thus bonded to the grounding layer by the conductor.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate with an insulation layer disposed on a top surface of the substrate, forming a passive device over the top surface of the substrate, removing the substrate, depositing an insulating polymer film layer over the insulation layer, and depositing a metal layer over the insulating polymer film layer. A solder mask can be formed over the metal layer. A conformal metal layer can then be formed over the solder mask. A notch can be formed in the insulation layer to enhance the connection between the insulating polymer film layer and the insulation layer. Additional semiconductor die can be electrically connected to the passive device. The substrate is removed by removing a first amount of the substrate using a back grind process, and then removing a second amount of the substrate using a wet dry, dry etch, or chemical-mechanical planarization process.

The conductive layer includes a first land portion, a second land portion apart from the first land portion in a plan view, and a line portion connecting the first land portion and the second land portion to each other.

The opening portion penetrates the conductive layer in a thickness direction.
Abstract:
A structure for reducing stress for vias and a fabricating method thereof are provided. One or more wires or vias in the thickness direction are enframed with the use of a stress block in a lattice structure to be isolated from being directly contacted with the major portion of insulating materials with a high coefficient of thermal expansion. Thus, the shear stress resulting from temperature loading can be blocked or absorbed by the stress block.
Abstract:
As for electrode pads for a semiconductor integrated circuit element, some of electrode pads for signal transmission are coupled to Ti films. Others of the electrode pads for signal transmission are coupled to electrode pads through wiring routed in multilayer wiring. Electrode pads for power supply are coupled to electrode pads to which power lines at potentials different from each other are coupled through wiring. The electrode pads are also coupled to Al foils (anodes). Electrode pads for grounding are coupled to electrode pads to which ground lines are coupled through wiring. The electrode pads are also coupled to conductive polymer films (cathodes).

Chip capacitors are provided in a printed circuit board. In this manner, the distance between an IC chip and each chip capacitor is shortened, and the loop inductance is reduced. In addition, the chip capacitors are accommodated in a core substrate having a large thickness. Therefore, the thickness of the printed circuit board does not become large.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a via structure in a multi-layer substrate, comprising a first metal layer, a dielectric layer and a second metal layer. The first metal layer has an upper surface. The dielectric layer covers the first metal layer in which a via is opened to expose the upper surface. The second metal layer is formed in the via and contacts an upper surface and an inclined wall of the via. A contacting surface of the second metal layer has a top line lower than the upper edge of the inclined wall. Alternatively, the second metal layer can be formed on the dielectric layer as being a metal line simultaneously as formed in the via as being a pad. The metal line and the pad are connected electronically. The aforesaid metal second layer can be formed in the via and on the dielectric layer by a metal lift-off process.
