摘要:
The present invention relates to a system for aligning a plurality of rollers in a metal or metal alloy foil production line. The alignment system comprises a reference frame having a longitudinal dimension parallel to the direction of foil travel through the production line and an optical alignment system movably mounted to the frame. The optical alignment system comprises a laser beam generator, beam splitters and a mirror for generating an orthogonal reference frame for aligning each foil contacting roller in the production line.

The present invention relates to a system and a process for producing improved quality electrodeposited and/or treated metal or metal alloy foil to be used in electrical and electronic applications. The quality of the foil being produced and/or treated by the system is improved by providing each treatment tank in the system with a dual filtration system. The dual filtration system for each tank comprises a filter conditioning loop for substantially continuously withdrawing solution from the tank and removing particulate matter from the withdrawn solution and a system for removing surface impurities from the solution. In a first embodiment, the surface impurities removing system comprises an off-line solution filtration and replenishment system. In a second embodiment, the surface impurities removing system comprises a skimmer floating on the surface of the solution. The present invention has particular utility in systems for producing electrodeposited and/or treated copper foils.

The present invention relates to a technique for improving the tarnish and oxidation resistance of copper and copper base alloy materials. The technique of the present invention involves immersing the copper or copper base alloy material in a dilute aqueous chromic acid-phosphoric acid solution. After emerging from the chromic acid-phosphoric acid solution, the copper or copper base alloy material is preferably rinsed with a dilute aqueous caustic solution and dried. Copper and copper base alloy materials treated in accordance with the present invention have particular utility in printed circuit applications.

The present invention relates to a treatment for improving the adhesive properties of metallic foils to be used in electrical and electronic applications. The treatment of the present invention comprises applying a light substantially uniform layer of metal to at least one surface of the metallic foil just prior to the formation of a plurality of dendritic structures on the surface. The metal layer renders the surface or surfaces to be treated more uniformly electrochemically active and consequently more receptive to the subsequent dendritic treatment. The treatment of the present invention has particular utility in improving the adhesive properties of wrought copper and copper alloy foils. An apparatus for performing the present treatment is also described.
摘要:
There is provided a metallic component for an electronic package. The component is coated with an electrically non-conductive layer and has a plurality of conductive circuit traces are formed on a surface. The circuit traces are soldered directly to the input/output pads of an integrated circuit device and to a second plurality of circuit traces. The component may include a heat sink to enhance dissipation of heat from an encapsulated integrated circuit device.
摘要:
A method of introducing an anti-tarnish agent into the matrix of a tin coating to reduce oxidation and/or yellowing of the tin coating. The agent is preferably zinc, indium or phosphorous and can be deposited in a molten form to alloy with the existing tin coating. Alternatively, the existing tin coating may be exposed to a chemical bath including the agent and later heated to reflow the tin coating and agent thereby incorporating the agent into the matrix of the tin coating.
摘要:
Anodizable components for electronic packaging applications, such as substrates for printed circuit boards or ball grid array electronic packages, having conductive circuitry formed on an electrically non-conductive anodic film. To inhibit the formation of electrically conductive precipitates in the anodic film that can form an electrical short circuit between the circuit traces and the metallic core of the component, the metallic core is formed from an anodizable alloy having below thresholds of precipitate forming constituents. Such precipitate forming constituents include iron, silicon and manganese.

There is provided a lead frame with enhanced adhesion to a polymer resin. The lead frame is coated with a thin layer of containing a mixture of chromium and zinc. A mixture of chromium and zinc with the zinc-to-chromium ratio in excess of about 4:1 is most preferred. The coated lead frames exhibit improved adhesion to a polymeric resin.

A method for the manufacture of an electronic circuit is provided. A non-conductive substrate is provided with an indexing means and personality windows by etching. An adhesive is deposited on one surface of the substrate to coat at least those regions to be laminated to a metallic foil. The foil is bonded to the non-conductive substrate and patterned into a plurality of circuit traces. Mechanical stamping of the substrate is not required providing a means to inexpensively manufacture small quantities of a desired circuit configuration.
