Abstract:
A conductor for a flexible substrate, used for a flexible flat cable or disposed inside a flexible printed-circuit board, according to the present invention comprises: a base conductor made of Cu or Cu-alloy; a plating film made of Sn or Sn-alloy formed on a surface of the base conductor; and a surface oxide film formed on a surface of the plating film, in which the surface oxide film includes oxide of an element other than Sn or a mixture of Sn oxide and oxide of an element other than Sn.
Abstract:
A technique for processing an electronic apparatus (e.g., manufacturing an assembled circuit board, treating an assembled circuit board, etc.) involves applying encasement material to an area of the circuit board assembly while leaving at least a portion of the circuit board assembly exposed. The technique further involves causing the applied encasement material to harden (e.g., heating the encasement material in a curing oven, applying radiation, providing a chemical catalyst, etc.). Application and hardening of the encasement material may take place shortly after circuit board assembly (e.g., by automated equipment at a manufacturing facility in order to treat newly assembled boards) or at some later time in the field (e.g., by a technician servicing a legacy board).
Abstract:
Provided are a coating composition for an interconnection part of an electrode and a plasma display panel including the same. Specifically, the coating composition for an interconnection part of an electrode is used to effectively prevent opens and short circuits of an electrode due to damage of an interconnection unit caused by gases and humidity in the surrounding environment and due to a migration phenomenon.
Abstract:
A printed wiring board has a via land, a glass epoxy resin layer, a via conductor, and a block layer. The via land is formed on a core layer. The glass epoxy resin layer is formed on the core layer and the via land. The via conductor is formed on the via land. The block layer is formed on the via land, between the via conductor and the glass epoxy resin layer.
Abstract:
A wired circuit board having improved adhesion between the conductive pattern and an insulating layer to prevent a plating solution from remaining between a metal plating layer and the insulating layer. The invention prevents ionic impurities in the plating solution from remaining as residual or ionic contamination, thereby preventing a short circuit from developing when electric current flows through the circuit under a high temperature and high humidity environment. Lower end portions of the terminal portions that are formed on an insulating base layer and lower end portions of side surfaces and metal plating layers that cover the terminal portions are embedded in the insulating base layer in a flexible wired circuit board.
Abstract:
Nanoscopic silicon containing agents including polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and polyhedral oligomeric silicate are used to eliminate the formation of conductive metal whiskers at the surface of lead-free solders joints and atom migration in semiconductors.
Abstract:
A laminated electronic component includes a laminated block in which a plurality of electrically insulating layers are laminated. An external conductor film is disposed on a surface of the laminated block. An additional conductor film which is at the same potential as the external conductor film is arranged such that it faces the external conductor film with an insulating layer disposed therebetween. The additional conductor film and the external conductor film are electrically connected to each other through a via-hole conductor so that they are at the same potential.
Abstract:
A wired circuit board which even when a conductive pattern is formed in the form of fine pitch can provide improved adhesion between the conductive pattern and an insulating layer to prevent a plating solution from remaining between a metal plating layer and the insulating layer, so as to prevent ionic impurities in the plating solution from remaining as residual or ionic contamination, whereby even when electric current flows through the circuit under a high temperature and high humidity environment over a long term, a short circuit from ionic migration can be prevented to suppress insulating failure. Lower end portions of terminal portions 5 formed on an insulating base layer 2 and lower end portions of side surfaces and metal plating layers 6 covering over the terminal portions 5 are embedded in the insulating base layer 2 in a flexible wired circuit board 1 at one longitudinal end portion thereof exposed from an insulating cover layer 4. This can provide the result of preventing infiltration of the plating solution in between the metal plating layers 6 and the insulating base layer 2 when the metal plating layer 6 is formed.
Abstract:
A wiring substrate is provided with an insulating resin film; and first and second conductive films provided on the back side and top side of the insulating resin film, respectively. The wiring substrate includes a via formed to fill a recess provided in the insulating resin film and electrically connecting the top side and back side of the insulating resin film. The via includes a first metal film formed to cover the side wall of the recess, an oxide film formed to cover the first meal film, and a second metal film formed on the metal oxide film.
Abstract:
Power and ground planes that are used in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and that comprise porous, conductive materials are disclosed. Using porous power and ground plane materials in PCBs allows liquids (e.g., water and/or other solvents) to pass through the power and ground planes, thus decreasing failures in PCBs (or PCBs used as laminate chip carriers) caused by cathodic/anodic filament growth and delamination of insulators. Porous conductive materials suitable for use in PCBs may be formed by using metal-coated organic cloths (such as polyester or liquid crystal polymers) or fabrics (such as those made from carbon/graphite or glass fibers), using metal wire mesh instead of metal sheets, using sintered metal, or making metal sheets porous by forming an array of holes in the metal sheets. Fabrics and mesh may be woven or random. If an array of holes is formed in a metal sheet, such an array may be formed with no additional processing steps than are performed using conventional PCB assembly methods.
