摘要:
A method of forming a capacitive element for a circuit board or chip carrier having improved capacitance is provided. The element is formed from a pair of conductive sheets having a dielectric component laminated therebetween. The dielectric component is formed of two or more dielectric sheets, at least one of which can be partially cured followed by being fully cured. The lamination takes place by laminating a partially cured sheet to at least one other sheet of dielectric material and one of the conductive sheets. The total thickness of the two sheets of the dielectric component does not exceed about 4 rolls and preferably does not exceed about 3 mils; thus, the single dielectric sheet does not exceed about 2 mils and preferably does not exceed about 1.5 mils in thickness.

A capacitive element for a circuit board or chip carrier having improved capacitance and method of manufacturing the same is provided. The structure is formed from a pair of conductive sheets having a dielectric component laminated therebetween. The dielectric component is formed of two or more dielectric sheets, at least one of which can be partially cured or softened followed by being fully cured or hardened. The lamination takes place by laminating a partially cured or softened sheet to at least one other sheet of dielectric material and one of the sheets of conductive material. The total thickness of the two sheets of the dielectric component does not exceed about 4 mils and preferably does not exceed about 3 mils; thus, the single dielectric sheet does not exceed about 2 mils and preferably does not exceed about 1.5 mils in thickness. The use of two or more sheets of dielectric material makes it very unlikely that two or more defects in the sheets of dielectric material will align, thus greatly reducing the probability of a defect causing a failure in test or field use.
摘要:
A method and structure is provided for preventing wetting or bleed of an adhesive, such as an epoxy, onto noble metal wire bond pads on the surface of a dielectric substrate when attaching an I/C chip to the substrate. The method includes treating the wire bond pads with a chemical composition which prevents bleeding onto the surfaces of the wire bond pads by a component of the epoxy. The chemical composition is a chemical which will provide “Self-Assembled Monolayers” (SAMs) on the surface of the gold. These compositions are characterized by a molecule having at least one group, such as a mercaptan or disulfide, connected to a hydrocarbon moiety, such as a (CH2)x chain. The affinity of the thiol or sulfur-containing portion of the molecule chemically bonding with the noble metal provides a relatively strong attachment of the molecule to the metal surface. The hydrocarbon segment presents a surface on the noble metal that has the characteristics of the hydrocarbon portion of the molecule which has a low surface tension, and, thus, prevents wetting of the noble metal by an epoxy adhesive component. The SAMs, once they provide protection from the bleed of the die attach adhesives, self desorb during the wire bonding or soldering temperatures.

The present invention provides a unique, high density, electronic package having a conductive composition for filling vias or through holes to make reliable vertical or Z-connects from a dielectric layer to adjacent electrical circuits. The through holes may be plated or non-plated prior to filling. A description for making high density electronic packaging using this feature is also disclosed.
摘要:
A method is provided for connecting two conductive layers in an electronic circuit package comprising the steps of forming dendrites on selected regions of a first conductive layer, forming dendrites on selected regions of a second conductive layer, applying an epoxy adhesive material over the first conductive layer, and compressively attaching the second conductive layer to the first conductive layer such that the dendrites on the first conductive layer contact the dendrites on the second conductive layer. Also claimed is an electronic circuit package incorporating the dendrites used for electrical interconnection manufactured in accordance with the present invention. An alternative embodiment of the invention utilizes an intermediate surface metal with dendrites in place of a “through via.”
摘要:
A method is provided for connecting two conductive surfaces in an electronic circuit package comprising the steps of forming dendrites on selected regions of a first conductive surface, applying a dielectric insulation material over the first conductive surface such that the dendrites are exposed through the insulation material to leave a substantially planar surface of exposed dendrites, and placing a second conductive surface on top of the exposed dendrites. The second conductive surface may be a surface metal, a chip bump array, or a ball grid array. Also claimed is an electronic circuit package incorporating the dendrites used for electrical interconnection and planarization manufactured in accordance with the present invention.

A printed circuit board for use in an electronic device package such as a ball grid array package or organic chip carrier package.

A circuit board having a structure including a permanent photoimageable dielectric material suitable for fabrication of vias both by laser ablation, plasma ablation, or mechanical drilling techniques and by photoimaging techniques. A process is also disclosed for the manufacture of a multi-level circuit on a substrate having a first-level circuitry pattern on at least one side. The process comprises applying a permanent photoimageable dielectric over the first-level circuitry pattern; exposing the permanent photoimageable dielectric to radiation; laminating a conductive metal layer to the dielectric; making holes in the conductive metal layer and dielectric by mechanical drilling or by laser or plasma ablation; and making a second-level circuitry pattern and filling the holes with a conductive material to electrically connect the first and second layers of circuitry. A further process is claimed for designing a multi-level circuit board product comprising making a prototype having the above structure in which the holes are manufactured by mechanical drilling or by laser or plasma ablation, evaluating the prototype, and then manufacturing a commercial circuit board having essentially the same structure and materials of construction as the prototype, but wherein the holes are manufactured by photoimaging techniques.

Substantially nonconductive or semiconductive surfaces of through holes can be electroplated directly, without an intervening non-electrolytic metallization, by a stepwise process which includes the application to the through holes of a polyelectrolyte surfactant in solution in combination with the application of a conductive metal containing material.
