Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a first outer layer and a second outer layer opposite the first outer layer. The PCB may further include a routing layer between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, and an interconnect positioned within the first outer layer and coupled with the routing layer. The interconnect may include a contact within an opening in the first outer layer, wherein the contact is within a plane defined by an outer surface of the first outer layer. The interconnect may further include a plated via directly coupled with the contact and the routing layer. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

Abstract:
A method for removing an undesirable material from an electronic or electrical component and introducing a desirable material in place of the undesirable material. The method can include the replacement of a leaded material found on the component with a no-lead material to meet governmental directives including those of the European Union.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has an element encapsulated in a resin mold. Metal leads protruding from the resin mold are solder plated except at the lead-tip end surfaces, and the exposed lead-tip end surfaces have an area less than half the cross-sectional area of the protruding metal leads. The semiconductor device is manufactured using a lead frame in which the metal leads are connected to a frame by plating bars having a thickness smaller than half the thickness of the metal leads. In another embodiment, the metal leads are connected to the frame by plating bars that extend sideways from the metal leads, and the end tips of the metal leads are entirely covered with plating to improve soldering wettability.
Abstract:
In a probe card assembly, a series of probe elements can be arrayed on a silicon space transformer. The silicon space transformer can be fabricated with an array of primary contacts in a very tight pitch, comparable to the pitch of a semiconductor device. One preferred primary contact is a resilient spring contact. Conductive elements in the space transformer are routed to second contacts at a more relaxed pitch. In one preferred embodiment, the second contacts are suitable for directly attaching a ribbon cable, which in turn can be connected to provide selective connection to each primary contact. The silicon space transformer is mounted in a fixture that provides for resilient connection to a wafer or device to be tested. This fixture can be adjusted to planarize the primary contacts with the plane of a support probe card board.
Abstract:
A clad material for a wiring connection has an electroconductive layer formed from either pure Cu or a Cu alloy having higher electroconductivity than pure Al, a surface layer formed from either pure Al or an Al alloy and layered on one surface of the electroconductive layer, and a solder layer formed by hot-dip solder plating on the other surface of the electroconductive layer. The wiring connection member has a first connection end provided with an electroconductive layer soldered to an electrode of a semiconductor element, and a second connection end provided with an electroconductive layer soldered to, for example, an external wiring device. The wiring connection member is processed from the clad material for a wiring connection. This wiring member prevents molten solder from depositing on a pressing and heating portion of a local heating apparatus while also possessing excellent solderability.
