A method for vertical removal of excess solder from a circuit substrate includes the use of a sacrificial circuit substrate with a plurality of pads and vias that are solder-wettable. The pads and vias of the sacrificial circuit substrate are placed in vertical proximity to the excess solder of the circuit substrate. The excess solder is heated until it is liquid, wherein the excess solder is wicked vertically onto the pads and into the vias of the sacrificial circuit substrate. Thereafter, the sacrificial circuit substrate is lifted from the proximity of the circuit substrate while the solder is in a liquid, taking the excess solder with it but leaving a predetermined amount on the circuit substrate.

An electronic control module comprising a vent assembly is provided. The electronic control module comprises a housing having a first aperture and a substrate disposed within the housing. The substrate has a second aperture positioned adjacent to the first aperture, and includes the hydrophobic vent assembly disposed over the second aperture and adheringly coupled to the substrate. The hydrophobic vent assembly may be adapted to prevent the ingress of moisture and permit the egress of certain gases.

A method for securing a metallic substrate (24) to a metallic housing (26). The method may include: firing a first solderable coating (64) to an edge (60) of the metallic substrate (24); firing a second solderable coating (64) to a groove (62) of the metallic housing (26); joining the edge (60) of the metallic substrate (24) to the groove (62) of the metallic housing (26) to form a joint (66) at the first solderable coating and the second solderable coating; applying a solder (68) to the joint (66); and solder bonding the metallic substrate (24) to the metallic housing (26) to provide a hermetic seal at the joint (66). There is also an electronic control module that incorporates the method.

摘要:
A separable and reconnectable connection for electrical equipment is provided that is suitable for miniaturization in which vertical interdigitating members integrally attached and protruding from a planar portion are accommodated in control of damage in lateral displacement that occurs on mating with an opposite similar contact. Displacement damage is averted through accommodating lateral stresses by providing one or more of a conformal opposing contact, by strengthening through coating and base reinforcement and a deformable coating. The contacts are fabricated by physical and chemical processes including sputtering, normal and pulse electroplating and chemical vapor deposition. Pulse electroplating of palladium provides a dendritic deposit of uniform height, uniform rounded points and less branching. The contacts on completion are provided with a surrounding immobilizing material that enhances rigidity.
摘要:
A method of making a multilayered circuit board wherein at least two layered subassemblies, each comprising a dielectric layer and at least one conductive layer therein, are bonded together. Each subassembly includes a through-hole extending therethrough which is aligned with a respective through-hole of the other prior to bonding. The subassemblies are compressed at a predetermined pressure (e.g., 300 psi) and then heated to a first temperature (e.g., 300.degree. C.) for an established time period, resulting in formation of a bond between the two through-holes. The resulting alloy formed from this bond possesses a melting point significantly greater than that of the subassembly dielectric (e.g., PTFE). Following this time period, the compressed subassemblies are heated to an even greater temperature (e.g., 380.degree. C.), again for an established time period, to assure dielectric flow. The subassembly is then cooled and the pressure removed. The method possesses two significant features: (1) effective engagement between respective pairs of through-holes in the compressed subassemblies; and (2) prevention of dielectric incursion within the bond formed between the respective pairs of through-holes, which incursion could adversely affect the electrical connection therebetween.
摘要:
A method of flip chip bonding an integrated circuit chip to a chip carrier. A high melting temperature composition, such as a binary Pb/Sn alloy, is deposited on contacts on, for example, the chip, and constituents of a low melting composition, such as Bi and Sn, are codeposited on contacts on, for example, the chip carrier. The chip and chip carrier are then heated. This causes the lower melting temperature composition, for example the Bi and Sn, to melt and form a low melting temperature alloy, such as a Bi/Sn alloy. The low melting alloy dissolves the higher melting composition, as Pb/Sn. This results in the formation of a solder bond of a low melting point third composition, such as a ternary alloy of Bi/Pb/Sn.
