摘要:
Disclosed is a parallel processor packaging structure and a method for manufacturing the structure. The individual logic and memory elements are on printed circuit cards. These printed circuit boards and cards are, in turn, mounted on or connected to circuitized flexible substrates extending outwardly from a laminate of the circuitized, flexible substrates. Intercommunication is provided through a switch structure that is implemented in the laminate. The printed circuit cards are mounted on or connected to a plurality of circuitized flexible substrates, with one printed circuit card at each end of the circuitized flexible circuit. The circuitized flexible substrates connect the separate printed circuit boards and cards through the central laminate portion. This laminate portion provides XY plane and Z-axis interconnection for inter-processor, inter-memory, inter-processor/memory element, and processor to memory bussing interconnection, and communication. The planar circuitization, as data lines, address lines, and control lines of a logic chip or a memory chip are on the individual printed circuit boards and cards, which are connected through the circuitized flex, and communicate with other layers of flex through Z-axis circuitization (vias and through holes) in the laminate. The individual circuitized flexible strips are discrete subassemblies. These subassemblies are laminates of at least one internal power core, and at least one signal core, with a layer of dielectric between.
摘要:
A circuitized substrate in which two conductive layers (e.g., electroplated copper foil) are bonded (e.g., laminated) to an interim dielectric layer. Each of the two foil surfaces which physically bond to the dielectric are smooth (e.g., preferably by chemical processing) and include a thin, organic layer thereon, while the outer surfaces of both foils are also smooth (e.g., preferably also using a chemical processing step). One of these resulting conductive layers may function as a ground or voltage plane while the other may function as a signal plane with a plurality of individual signal lines as part thereof. An electrical assembly and an information handling system utilizing such a circuitized substrate are also provided.

摘要:
A technique for chemically planarizing an exposed surface of metal on a substrate to a pre-determined thickness is provided. The substrate has an exposed metal surface such as copper circuitry on a dielectric substrate which is to be planarized. Typically, this will be circuitization extending above a photoresist layer. A planarizing head is rotated against the substrate, with the planarizing head in contact with the metal surface on the substrate. A chemical etchant, essentially free of abrasive material, is continuously supplied to the interface between the metal surface and the planarizing head. The planarizing continues until a predetermined thickness of the metal has been reached. In circuit board manufacturing, this will form a surface co-planar with the photoresist. In some instances where significant height reduction is required, thus requiring significant metal removal, several passes of the substrate may be required or a device with multiple heads may be used. On all but the last pass or last head, the planarizing head may include a film of polyester impregnated with very fine grit, such as 15.mu. or less silicon carbide (SiC). However, on the final pass or head, a relatively hard surface roll, e.g., rubber, free of added grit, is used to ensure a planar surface free of gouges.

摘要:
A printed circuit board is produced by patterning a resist layer according to a circuit mask that defines desired circuit paths. The resist pattern layer is formed by removing the resist from the board in the desired circuit paths and a conductive material is plated onto the board in the resist voids defined by the circuit mask so that the height of the conductive material relative to the substrate equals or exceeds the height of the resist layer relative to the substrate. A low-reactive solution is applied over the conductive material and removes a surface portion of the conductive material. As the solution removes the conductive layer, it forms a film barrier and the solution composition changes, both of which substantially inhibits any further removal of the conductive material. Next, the film barrier is removed from the board allowing another film barrier to form stimulating the removal of further conductive material. The removal step is repeated until the conductive material is at a desired height relative to the height of the resist layer. The board is then finished using conventional circuit board fabrication techniques.
摘要:
A method of forming an electronic structure, including adhesively coupling a plated metallic layer (e.g. a copper layer) of a plated through hole (PTH) to holefill material (e.g., epoxy resin) distributed within the PTH. The adhesive coupling utilizes an adhesion promoter film on the plated metallic layer such that the adhesion promoter film is bonded to the resin. The adhesion promoter film may include a metallic oxide layer such as a layer containing cupric oxide and cuprous oxide, which could be formed from bathing a PTH plated with copper in a solution of sodium chlorite. The adhesion promoter film may alternatively include an organometallic layer such as a layer that includes a chemical complex of metal and an organic corrosion inhibitor. The organometallic layer could be formed from bathing the PTH in a bath of hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid, and the organic corrosion inhibitor.
