Abstract:
As a substrate having a fine line and capable of suppressing crack generation in the substrate and peeling of the fine line, the invention discloses a configuration in which plural recesses are arranged on the fine line, and particularly a configuration in which the interval of the plural recesses does not exceed 200 μm. There is also disclosed a configuration in which the plural recesses are arranged along a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the fine line.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide techniques to prevent, when a bonding pad and a lead wiring pad are to be connected using a solder ball, the solder ball from deviating from a centerline and a soldering problem from occurring. In one embodiment, a head suspension assembly includes a solder ball disposed between a lead wiring pad provided for a flexure and a bonding pad provided for a slider. The solder ball is then melted for making a soldered joint between the lead wiring pad and the bonding pad. A through slot is provided at a position near a centerline on a front surface of the lead wiring pad. The solder ball is dropped into the through slot by gravity from the front surface of the lead wiring pad. A contact area in contact with the solder ball is thereby secured on a side of the slider.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit package is provided with a ball landing area having a conductive structure for interlocking a conductive ball to the ball pad. The conductive structure improves the attachment strength between an integrated circuit package and an printed circuit board. In an exemplary embodiment, the locking structure is a conductive material added to the surface of the ball pad to provide a nonplanar interface, such as a dome or a step, which interlocks the conductive ball to the ball pad. The improved package construction increases the area of contact, moves the shear plane to a higher and larger portion on the conductive ball, and/or prevents a crack from propagating along a flat plane across the ball joint. This package construction maintains the small size of the ball land areas and the package, increases the life of the integrated circuit package, while offsetting the problem of package warpage.

Assembly methods and semiconductor device assemblies are disclosed in which corresponding IC sockets and PCB projections are used for alignment and bond formation between IC and PCB components of a completed assembly, for example, a BGA. Embodiments of the invention further provide the capability of disassembly and reassembly.

The invention provides a method for manufacturing printed wiring substrates which can manufacture printed wiring substrates each having resin dielectric layers of uniform thickness and excellent surface flatness while maintaining favorable cutting performance in a dicing step. A multi-printed wiring-substrate panel is manufactured which includes a metal plate having a first main surface and a second main surface, and resin dielectric layers disposed on the first and second main surfaces. The metal plate has first depression portions and second depression portions. The first depression portions are opened at the first main surface and arranged discontinuously along predetermined cutting lines. The second depression portions are opened at the second main surface and arranged discontinuously along the predetermined cutting lines. The multi-printed wiring-substrate panel is cut along the predetermined cutting lines into a plurality of printed wiring substrates.
Abstract:
A structure and method to establish an electrical connection between a tester and an electrical component. A flexible dielectric layer has a first side and a second side. A through via extends through the first side and the second side of the dielectric layer. A blind via is placed in a position that is offset from the through via and extends laterally in a first direction from a section of the first through via to a section of the flexible dielectric layer. The blind via extends in a second direction from the first side of the flexible dielectric layer to a section of the flexible dielectric layer that is between the first side and the second side of the dielectric layer. An electrically conductive member extends through the through via and extends into the blind via, thereby filling the through via and the blind via. The electrically conductive member has a first surface and a second surface. Any distance between the first surface and the second surface is greater than a distance between the first side of the dielectric layer and the second side of the dielectric layer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a multilayer printed wiring board having a filled viahole structure advantageously usable for forming a fine circuit pattern thereon, and having an excellent resistance against cracking under a thermal shock or due to heat cycle. The multilayer printed wiring board is comprised of conductor circuitry layers and interlaminar insulative resin layers deposited alternately one on another, the interlaminar insulative resin layers each having formed through them holes each filled with a plating layer to form a viahole. The surface of the plating layer exposed out of the hole for the viahole is formed substantially flat and lies at a substantially same level as the surface of the conductor circuit disposed in the interlaminar insulative resin layer. The thickness of the conductor circuitry layer is less than a half of the viahole diameter and less than 25 μm. The inner wall of the hole formed in the interlaminar insulative resin layer is roughened and an electroless plating layer is deposited on the roughened surface. An electroplating layer is filled in the hole including the electroless plating layer to form the viahole. The interlaminar insulative resin layer is formed from a composite of a fluororesin showing a high fracture toughness and a heat-resistant thermoplastic resin, a composite of fluororesin and thermosetting resin or a composite of thermosetting and thermoplastic resins.

Abstract:
An integrated lead suspension includes a solder ball that is placed between a lead wiring pad provided on a flexure of the suspension, and a bonding pad provided on a slider of a head gimbal section. The lead wiring pad and bonding pad are soldered by melting the solder ball. As a result, there is provided a recessed section into which a solder ball is placed by way of surface raised sections, using gravitational force, in the vicinity of the center line of the surface of the lead wiring pad. In this way the position of the solder ball is not displaced from the center line when a bonding pad and lead wiring pad are connected by means of a solder ball.
