Abstract:
The drilling and plating of high aspect ratio blind via holes in a multilayer printed circuit board are disclosed. A via hole is drilled through a sub-composite structure. The walls of the via hole are plated with a conductive material, and the hole is filled with a conductive medium. The sub-composite structure proceeds through the remainder of the processing that is necessary to manufacture the printed circuit board up to the completion of the solder mask step. The conductive medium of the via hole is drilled out to achieve a hole size that is of the desired diameter as required by the printed circuit board design.
Abstract:
The present invention is characterized in that in a metal-core multilayer printed wiring board (1) which is obtained by forming one or more of at least inner layers of a laminate having a insulating layer and a conductor layer stacked alternately from a metal plate and has the metal plate as a core, the metal plate (13) is disposed below a site on which a heating element (10) is to be mounted, a surface layer over which the heating element (10) is to be mounted is connected to the metal plate (13) of the inner layer via a BVH (12) and a heat radiation layer (14) is formed over the surface layer. The present invention makes it possible to efficiently radiate heat, which has been released from the heating element, to the outside of the printed wiring board without impairing the packaging density of circuits and at the same time, to mount another element on the side opposite to the side on which the heating element exists.
Abstract:
A semiconductor mounting board 80 is prepared by electrically joining an IC chip 70 via an interposer 60 of high rigidity to external pads 41 and internal pads 43, which are formed on the uppermost surface of a build-up layer 30. When the IC chip 70 generates heat, since pads 41 are positioned away from the center, a large shearing stress is applied to the portions at which pads 41 are joined to the interposer 60 in comparison to the portions at which pads 43 are joined to the interposer 60. Here, pads 41 are formed at substantially flat wiring portions and thus when joined to the interposer 60 by means of solder bumps 51, voids and angled portions, at which stress tends to concentrate, are not formed in the interiors of solder bumps 51. The joining reliability is thus high.

A unitary buried array capacitor and microelectronic structures incorporating such capacitors are disclosed. A unitary buried array capacitor can be formed by a top layer of electrode, a middle layer of dielectric, and a bottom layer of electrode. A first electrode lead, a second electrode lead and at least one interconnect line pass through the three layers while only the first electrode lead making electrical contact with the top layer of electrode and only the second electrode lead making electrical contact with the bottom electrode.

A circuit substrate includes a board, a plurality of metal layers and an insulator. The board has a plurality of conductive traces layers and a via formed therein. The metal layers are formed on the inner wall of the via and each of the metal layers is electrically connected to its corresponding conductive traces layer. The via is filled with the insulator so that each of the metal layers is electrically isolated from each other. In addition, this invention also provides a fabrication method of the circuit substrate.

Abstract:
Circuit panels are provided with resistors in vias extending between the top and bottom surfaces of the panels. The resistors may be formed by depositing a composite in each via, as by depositing a dispersion of a conductive material and a dielectric or by depositing one or more thin layers of a conductor. The resistors may be disposed at interior locations buried within a multilayer circuit board formed by laminating one or more panels having such resistors with one or more additional elements.

In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method comprises filling a microvia formed in a bond pad with solder paste comprising solder balls of the first size; and coating the bond pad with solder paste comprising solder balls of the second size, wherein the second size is greater than the first size.

Abstract:
A solder resist comprising a thermosetting resin is printed on a surface of an insulating board (7) having a conductor circuit (6). The solder resist is then heat-cured to form an insulating film (1) having a low thermal expansion coefficient. A laser beam (2) is then applied to the portion of the insulating film in which an opening is to be formed, to burn off the same portion for forming an opening (10), whereby the conductor circuit (6) is exposed. This opening may be formed as a hole for conduction by forming a metal plating film on an inner surface thereof. It is preferable that an external connecting pad be formed so as to cover the opening. The film of coating of a metal is formed by using an electric plating lead, which is preferably cut off by a laser beam after the electric plating has finished.
