Abstract:
A multilayer ceramic repair process which provides a new electrical repair path to connect top surface vias. The repair path is established between a defective net and a redundant repair net contained within the multilayer ceramic substrate. The defective net and the repair net each terminate at surface vias of the substrate. A laser is used to form post fired circuitry on and in the substrate. This is followed by the electrical isolation of the defective net from the electrical repair structure and passivation of the electrical repair line.
Abstract:
A method and structure to form surface plating metallization on a substrate. Two layers of tape are applied to the surface of the substrate. A first path is cut through both layers of tape exposing the substrate surface. The first path connects at least one conductive via on the top surface of the substrate. A second path is cut through the second layer of tape exposing the first layer of tape. The second path is routed from the first path to an edge of the substrate A seed layer is deposited over the surface of the second layer of tape thereby creating a seeded plating path in the first path and a sacrificial seeded conduction path in the second path. Connecting the sacrificial seeded conduction path to a plating potential at the edge of the substrate creates a plated path on the surface of the substrate. The sacrificial path is removed when the tape is removed.

More particularly, the invention encompasses a new process for fabrication of a large area ceramic laminate magnet with a significant number of holes, integrated metal plate(s) and co-sintered electrodes for electron and electron beam control. The present invention also relates to a magnetic matrix display (MMD), and electron beam source, and methods of manufacture thereof.
Abstract:
Improved vie-filling compositions for producing conductive vias in circuitized ceramic substrates, particularly multi-layer substrates, without cracking and/or loss of hermetic sealing. The via-filling compositions comprise pastes containing a mixture of (a) ceramic and/or glass spheres of substantially- uniform diameter between about 0.5 and 6 .mu.m, (b) conductive metal particles or spheres having a maximum dimension or diameter between about 1/3 and 1/4 of the diameter of the ceramic and/or glass spheres, and (c) a binder vehicle. The formed conductive via bodies comprise a uniform conductive skeletal network of sintered metal particles densely packed within a uniform matrix of the co-sintered ceramic and/or glass spheres, which matrix is hermetically fused and integrated with ceramic layers forming the wall of the via in the ceramic circuit substrate.
Abstract:
A method to repair ceramic substrates is disclosed using a novel polyimide polymer which has high thermal stability, resistance to fluxes and flux residue cleaning solvents and processes, good mechanical properties, good adhesion to all contacting surfaces with low moisture uptake and good flow properties suitable for repairing chipped ceramic, filling deep trench or vias and writing passivation lines with automated process The polyimide polymer is made by reacting aromatic dianhydride and aromatic diamine monomers with a stoichiometric offset and end capping the resulting polymer when the reaction is completed. The preferred polyimide is made using a molar excess of diamine which is end-capped using an anhydride.

Abstract:
A process wherein a low viscosity, metal-containing paste is screened onto a ceramic greensheet and then sets up to increase its viscosity. In one method, the low viscosity is caused by excess solvent which is then blotted or otherwise removed so that the viscosity of the paste is increased. In an alternative method, the low viscosity paste contains a cross-linking agent which causes the paste to increase its viscosity after screening.
