An integrated patch antenna and electronics assembly (300) comprises an antenna dielectric layer (305), a ground plane layer (310) disposed on a first side of the antenna dielectric layer, a printed circuit dielectric layer (315) disposed on the ground plane layer opposite the antenna dielectric layer, a patterned conductive metal foil layer (320) on a component surface (323) of the assembly (300), and a conductive metal foil antenna patch (325) disposed on a second side of the antenna dielectric layer that is in a patch side (391) of the assembly. In some embodiments, a plated through hole (330) couples the antenna patch to the patterned conductive metal foil layer. In some embodiments, there are one or more printed circuit dielectric layers (316, 341, 346, 351) disposed over the antenna patch on the antenna patch side of the assembly. In some embodiments, pairs of printed circuit dielectric layers ([315, 316], [340, 341], [345, 346], [350, 351]) are formed simultaneously on each side of the assembly.

A dielectric sheet (500, 600, 1621) includes a photodielectric support layer (505, 1630) that may be glass reinforced and a dielectric laminate (510, 605). The dielectric laminate includes first and second metal foil layers (415, 660; 210, 665, 1605, 1610), and a dielectric layer (405, 655, 1620) disposed between the first and second metal foil layers. The first metal foil layer is adhered to the photodielectric support layer. In a printed circuit and patch antenna that includes the dielectric sheet, the first metal layer is patterned by removal of metal according to a circuit pattern and the photodielectric support layer is patterned by removal of dielectric material according to the circuit pattern.

Embedded capacitors comprise a bimetal foil (500) that includes a first copper layer (205) and an aluminum layer (210) on the first copper layer. The aluminum layer has a smooth side adjacent the first copper layer and a high surface area textured side (215) opposite the first copper layer. The bimetal foil further includes an aluminum oxide layer (305) on the high surface area textured side of the aluminum layer, a conductive polymerlayer (420) on the aluminum oxide layer, and a second copper layer (535) overlying the aluminum oxide layer. The bimetal foil may be embedded in a circuit board (700) to form high value embedded capacitors.

A technique for fabricating a patterned resistor on a substrate produces a patterned resistor (101, 801, 1001, 1324, 1374) including two conductive end terminations (110, 810, 1010) on the substrate, a pattern of first resistive material (120, 815, 1015) having a first width (125) and a first sheet resistance, and a pattern of second resistive material (205, 820, 1020) having a second width (210) and a second sheet resistance that at least partially overlies the pattern of first resistive material. One of the first and second sheet resistances is a low sheet resistance and the other of the first and second resistances is a high sheet resistance. A ratio of the high sheet resistance to the low sheet resistance is at least ten to one. The pattern having the higher sheet resistance is substantially wider than the pattern having the low sheet resistance. The patterned resistor can be precision trimmed 1225.

An improved method for forming a capacitor. The method includes the steps of: providing a metal foil; forming a dielectric on the metal foil; applying a non-conductive polymer dam on the dielectric to isolate discrete regions of the dielectric; forming a cathode in at least one discrete region of the discrete regions on the dielectric; and cutting the metal foil at the non-conductive polymer dam to isolate at least one capacitor comprising one cathode, one discrete region of the dielectric and a portion of the metal foil with the discrete region of the dielectric.
摘要:
A method for forming embedded capacitors on a printed circuit board is disclosed. The capacitor is formed on the printed circuit board by a depositing a first dielectric layer over one or more electrodes situated on the PCB. Another electrode is formed on top of the first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer is deposited on top of that electrode. A third electrode is formed on top of the second dielectric layer. The two dielectric layers are abrasively delineated in a single step by a method such as sand blasting to define portions of the first and second dielectric layers to create a multilayer capacitive structure.
