    摘要: An electronic device is manufactured using printed circuit board manufacturing processes. In particular, a laminar device comprises a first metal layer, a second metal layer, at least one layer of device, material sandwiched between the first and second metal layers. A first layer of insulating material substantially covers the first metal layer. A third metal layer is provided on the first layer of insulating material. This third metal layer is divided to provide a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal is electrically connected to the first metal layer by a conductive interconnect formed through said first layer of insulating material, and the second terminal is electrically connected to said second metal layer by a conductive path comprising an insulated conductive channel which passes through and is insulated from said first metal layer and said at least one layer of device material. The use of an insulated channel provides a cost effective method of manufacture and maximizes the effective area of device material used.

    摘要: The present invention relates to encapsulated or insulated devices. In certain environments and applications, it is necessary to protect devices from external agents. The present invention achieves this by providing a device comprising a segment of insulating material having an aperture defined therein. An element of active, for example positive temperature coefficient (PTC), material is received within the defined aperture. The element is substantially covered by a first metal layer on one side and a second metal layer on the opposing side. A first layer of insulating material substantially covers the first metal layer and a second layer of insulating material substantially covers the second layer of metal. A first terminal provides an external electrical connection to the first metal layer and a second terminal provides an external electrical connection to the second metal layer. The first terminal is connected to the first metal layer by a conductive interconnect which passes through the first insulating layer and the second terminal is connected to the second metal layer by a conductive interconnect passes through the second insulating layer. Moreover, the invention provides a method for manufacturing devices in a matrix form using conventional PCB techniques to facilitate the mass production of encapsulated devices. Additionally, the resulting components may be used as either leaded or SMT components in either single device or multiple device configurations in both SIP and DIP packages.

    摘要: An electronic device is formed of multiple, alternating layers of conductive polymer and metal foil electrodes, in which electrical connections between selected electrodes are provided by cross-conductors formed by plated through-hole vias. More specifically, the device includes a first cross-conductor that electrically connects a first set of electrodes, and a second cross-conductor electrically connects a second set of electrodes. Correspondingly, the first cross-conductor is electrically and physically isolated from the second set of electrodes, while the second cross-conductor is electrically and physically isolated from the first set of electrodes. The electrodes are etched to form an isolation gap that isolates that electrode from either the first or second cross-conductor. The first and second cross-conductors, in turn, are formed by plating the through-hole vias, so as to establish electrically-conductive contact with those electrodes not separated from the via by an isolation gap. Thus, a device may be formed with N non-metallic (e.g. polymeric) layers and N+1 electrodes, where N is an integer greater than 1, wherein a first cross-conductor electrically contacts a first set of electrodes, and a second cross-conductor electrically contacts a second set of electrodes, whereby the non-metallic layers are connected in parallel.
