摘要： A nickel plug (31) filling an aperture in an insulating layer (30), such as polyimide, separating two metallization levels of copper wires (28, 25) is formed by an electroless process in a plating bath (solution) containing ions of hypophosphite and of nickel. In preparation for this electroless process, the copper wires (28, 25) are first plated with a nickel layer (29) by a pseudo-electroless process-that is, a process in which the copper wires (28, 25) are located in contact with an underlying extended chromium layer (14) that is placed in electrical contact (including intimate physical contact) with an auxiliary metallic member (41) that contains nickel, while both the copper wires (28, 25), the chromium layer (14), and at least a portion of the external metallic layer (41) are immersed in a plating solution likewise containing ions of hypophosphite and of nickel.

摘要： An electrical switch which includes an insulative housing having a wall defining an axial bore therein, a first electrical contact disposed in the housing bore and a second electrical contact movably disposed in the housing bore between an open position and a closed position. When the contacts are in their open position, the second electrical contact is spaced apart from the first electrical contact and when the contacts are in their closed position, the second electrical contact is in electrical contact with the first electrical contact. The switch includes features to enhance safety and operation by reducing the possibility of arcing or flashover before and during the switching operation and to provide of visual indication of the state of the switch.

摘要： A high voltage loadbreak bushing insert includes an insulative housing having a first end section, a second end section opposite the first end section, a mid-section disposed between the first and second end sections and a transition shoulder portion disposed between the second end section and the mid-section. The second end section is dimensioned for insertion into a power cable elbow connector and the mid-section is dimensioned to be sealed against an elbow cuff of the power cable elbow connector. The transition shoulder portion includes at least one raised portion protruding radially outwardly from the transition shoulder portion. The raised portion is adapted to force the elbow cuff of the power cable elbow connector to expand in a radially outward direction upon withdrawal of the second end section from the power cable elbow connector, thereby venting a cavity formed between the bushing insert and the power cable elbow connector.

摘要： A process for underfilling a bumped die surface using a lamination step and compound film such that solder bumps on the die are exposed during lamination. The compound film comprises a first layer containing an underfill material and a second layer on the first layer. The underfill material and the second layer comprise polymer materials that differ from each other. The compound film is laminated to the die, preferably at the wafer level, so that the underfill material is forced between the solder bumps and fills spaces between the bumps but does not cover the bumps. In contrast, the second layer covers the solder bumps, but is then selectively removed to re-expose the solder bumps and the underfill material therebetween.

摘要： A tin-lead solder alloy containing copper and optionally silver as its alloying constituents. The solder alloy consists essentially of, by weight, about 55% to about 75% tin, about 11% to about 44% lead, up to about 4% silver, nickel, palladium, platinum and/or gold, greater than 1% to about 10% copper, and incidental impurities. The solder alloys contain a small portion of CuSn intermetallic compounds, and exhibit a melting mechanism in which all but the intermetallic compounds melt within a narrow temperature range, though the actual liquidus temperature of the alloys may be considerably higher, such that the alloys can be treated as requiring peak reflow temperatures of about 250° C. or less. The intermetallic compounds precipitate out to form a diffusion barrier that increases the reliability of solder connections formed therewith.
