    摘要: Shaped contacts (40, 42) for interconnecting circuits or for use in an integrated circuit test probe are electroplated as integral parts of circuit traces (34) upon a stainless steel mandrel (10). A shaped, hardened steel indentation tool (16, 18, 26, 28) makes indentations (24a, 24b) of predetermined shape in the surface of the mandrel (10), which is provided with a pattern of dielectric, such as Teflon (12), or photoresist. Areas of the steel mandrel, including the indentations (24a,24b), are electroplated with a pattern of conductive material (34, 36, 38), and a dielectric substrate (32) is laminated to the conductive material. The circuit features formed by the indentations define raised contacts of a conical (18) or pyramidal (28) shape, having free ends with a small area that allows higher pressures to be applied to a surface against which the contacts are pressed. This enables the contacts to penetrate foreign materials, such as oxides, that may form on the surface of the pads (56, 58), to which the contacts are to be connected to ensure a good contact without any need for wiping action. The projecting contacts can also be pressed into plated holes (82, 84) in a substrate, such as a printed wiring board, to which mateable/demateable electrical connection is to be made.

    摘要: A fine line electrical circuit having precise rectangular conductor cross-sections (70) is electroformed on a patterned laser ablated mandrel (32,34). The mandrel comprises a stainless steel substrate (32) coated with a layer of Teflon (34). An eximer laser (44,56) is caused to project a fine spot (54) upon the Teflon (34) with a power sufficient to ablate the Teflon (34) entirely through to the stainless steel substrate (32). A software program drives the coated mandrel beneath the laser beam in an X-Y pattern that defines the pattern of a circuit to be produced, thereby exposing the conductive surface of the mandrel in the selected pattern. A pattern of conductors (70) is then plated upon the mandrel, a dielectric substrate (76) is laminated upon the mandrel and upon the pattern of conductors and then the dielectric substrate (76), together with the conductors (70) adhering thereto, is separated from the mandrel.

    摘要: A circuit is produced by using a formed mandrel (10,12) and semi-additive techniques for creating circuit traces. A stainless steel mandrel (10) flash plated with copper (14) includes a depression (12) which will form a raised interconnection feature (24). Using a photolithographically formed pattern of photoresistive material (16) on the mandrel the selected pattern of circuit traces (18,20) and raised features (24) are electroplated onto the flash plated mandrel. After stripping the photoresist (16), a dielectric substrate (26) is laminated to the circuit traces, effectively encapsulating the traces on three sides. After removing the laminated circuit traces and dielectric from the mandrel the flash plated copper (14) is removed and the circuit covered with an insulation coverlay.

    摘要: An elastomeric member is incorporated between a conductor and a conductive interconnection bridge. This elastomeric member serves as a spring providing compliance to an interconnection so that the flatness requirements of an opposing mating structure may be relaxed. A flat metal mandrel is provided with an enlongated curved depression extending across a predetermined region where a resilient interconnection bridge is to be located. A nonconductive layer of Teflon is bonded to the surface of the mandrel. Grooves are ablated in a predetermined configuration down to the conductive surface of the mandrel using an excimer laser and a computer-controlled x-y table. Fineline electrical circuits are electrodeposited into the ablated grooves. The elongated curved depression is filled with a silicone material. The silicone material is permitted to cure to form a compliant elastomeric member having the shape of the elongated curved depression. An insulating backing is laminated onto the electrical circuits and the elastomeric member, and the completed resilient interconnection bridge is removed from the mandrel. Another method is used when the interconnection site is terminated on a circuit pad or on a high density linear connector configuration. In this method, elastomeric material is dispensed onto the circuit pad or along a line transverse to the high density linear connectors. After the elastomeric material has cured, electrical conductors are bonded thereacross to form raised compliant interconnection features.

    摘要: A pressure-type contact for flexible or conventional wire cable terminations is fabricated from electroformed thin metallic wafers (100) in which one wafer is plated with a raised conductive interconnection feature (122). The electrical circuitry (118, 120) is made on a stainless steel mandrel (10, 10a) having a Teflon pattern (16, 16a) on its surface that allows the desired electrical circuit (30, 32, 34, 30a, 32a, 34a, 78) to be electrolytically plated upon the conductive mandrel surface. The mandrel surface is formed with projecting features in the form of depressions (24, 24a) that will form a series of dots or raised interconnection features on the termination wafers. The mandrel also has projecting posts (76) for providing electrical connection through the substrate.

    摘要: A high density of interconnection sites on a dielectric substrate is provided by producing a laminated assembly with multiple layers of conductors (11, 21) positioned one above the other within the substrate (8). Each conductor (11, 21) terminates at a raised feature (12, 22) projecting beyond the surface of the substrate (8) for connection in an electrical circuit. This permits the conductors (11, 21) to be positioned in the same plane perpendicular to the substrate (8) so that two rows of termination pads (12, 22) may be provided without leaving space between the pads of one for the conductors of the other. Efficient, high speed impedance matching may be accomplished by the addition of a grounding conductor (26) between two signal layers of circuitry within the substrate, also provided with raised features (27) extending to the exterior of the substrate (8).
