    摘要: An apparatus and a method for filling high aspect ratio holes in electronic substrates that can be advantageously used for filling holes having aspect ratios larger than 5:1 are disclosed. In the apparatus, a filler plate and a vacuum plate are used in conjunction with a connection means such that a gap is formed between the two plates to accommodate an electronic substrate equipped with high aspect ratio via holes. The filler plate is equipped with an injection slot while the vacuum plate is equipped with a vacuum slot such that when a substrate is sandwiched therein, via holes can be evacuated of air and injected with a liquid simultaneously from a bottom side and a top side of the substrate. The present invention novel apparatus and method allows the filling of via holes that have small diameters, i.e., as small as 10 &mgr;m, and high aspect ratios, i.e., at least 5:1 to be filled with an electrically conductive material such as a solder or a conductive polymer such that vias or interconnects can be formed in electronic substrates. The present invention apparatus and method can be advantageously used in fabricating substrates for display panels by forming conductive vias and interconnects for placing a voltage potential on pixel display elements formed on the display panels.

    摘要: An actuator scaled to macroscopic or microscopic sizes, uses ultrasonic energy to induce motion of an object in a desired direction. The actuator includes one or more pair of piezoelectric transducers connected with a transducer tip. Supplying the piezoelectric transducers with alternating current electrical power causes the tip to vibrate at ultrasonic frequencies. Urging the vibrating tip into contact with a surface on the object at a selected angle of inclination induces the object to move in the desired direction at a rate determined by the inclination angle. Multiple actuators can be used to induce a fall range of movements of variously shaped objects. In microscopic form, the actuator can be used to create a MEMS device. The optional application of a compliant material either on the transducer tip or on the object's surface enhances the movement induced by the actuator.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for forming solder bumps by a molten solder screening technique in which a flexible die head constructed of a metal sheet is utilized for maintaining an intimate contact between the die head and a solder receiving mold surface. The flexible die head, when used in combination with a pressure means, is capable of conforming to any curved mold surface as long as the curvature is not more than 2.5 .mu.m per inch of die length. The present invention further provides a method and apparatus for filling a multiplicity of cavities in a mold surface by providing a stream of molten solder and then intimately contacting the surface of the molten solder with a multiplicity of cavities such that the molten solder readily fills the cavities. The apparatus further provides means for removing excess molten solder from the surface of the mold without disturbing the molten solder already filled in the cavities. The present invention further discloses a flexible die for dispensing molten solder consisting of a die body that is constructed of a metal sheet capable of flexing of not less than 1.5 .mu.m per inch of die length, a gate opening for receiving a supply of molten solder, a slot opening for dispensing the molten solder onto a solder receiving surface, and a pressure means associated with the die body for providing adequate pressure such that the die body intimately contacting the solder receiving mold surface.
