Patent number: 9230739Abstract: A lead-lanthanum-zirconium-titanate (PLZT) capacitor on a substrate formed of glass. The first metallization layer is deposited on a top side of the substrate to form a first electrode. The dielectric layer of PLZT is deposited over the first metallization layer. The second metallization layer deposited over the dielectric layer to form a second electrode. The glass substrate is advantageous as glass is compatible with an annealing process used to form the capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: UChicago Argonne, LLCInventors: M. Ray Fairchild, Ralph S. Taylor, Carl W. Berlin, Celine W K Wong, Beihai Ma, Uthamalingam Balachandran

Patent number: 7439083Abstract: Substrate shrinkage that occurs during manufacture of an electronic assembly is compensated for by the incorporation of a horizontal line, having a plurality of vertical graduations, across a horizontal portion of a substrate and a vertical line, having a plurality of horizontal graduations, across a vertical portion of the substrate. The substrate is then cured and an amount of substrate shrinkage is determined, based upon a location change in the graduations of the horizontal and vertical lines. In this manner, solder can be properly provided on solder pads of the substrate responsive to the amount of substrate shrinkage. As such, electronic components can be properly mounted to the solder pads of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: M. Ray Fairchild, Jerome L. Badgett

Patent number: 7215547Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing an electronic assembly and an electronic assembly with an integrated cooling system for dissipating heat. The electronic assembly comprises a base; and at least one electrical component attached to the base. The base defines an integrated cooling system having a fluid channel spanning within the base and at least one heat exchanger in heat communication with the fluid channel. The integrated cooling system may further include a pump attached to the base for directing the flow of the fluid within the fluid channel, and a port in fluid communication with the fluid channel for receiving fluid from an external source.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2004Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shih-Chia Chang, Bruce A. Myers, Darrel E. Peugh, Carl W. Berlin, M. Ray Fairchild

Patent number: 7042331Abstract: A thick-film resistor component may include a thick film component formed between a thick-film resistor and an electrically conductive sheet, wherein a portion of the sheet is selectively removed to form resistor contacts while exposing a portion of the thick-film component. Electrical terminals to a thick-film resistor may be sized to reduce stress and/or be selectively positioned relative to the resistor to define a desired resistor value. A thick-film resistor may include one or more resistor segments configured to be selectively open-circuited to incrementally adjust the value of the resistor.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2003Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jiming Zhou, Dwadasi H. Sarma, Carl W. Berlin, John D Myers, M. Ray Fairchild

Patent number: 6903561Abstract: A circuit for measuring mechanical stress impressed on a printed circuit board includes a number of electrically conductive pads formed on at least one outer surface of the printed circuit board, and a resistive material applied in a pattern to the printed circuit board and defining a resistor between first and second ones of the number of electrically conductive pads. The resistive material exhibits an electrical resistance that varies as the resistive material is deformed so that the resistor exhibits an electrical resistance value that varies as a function of mechanical stress impressed on the printed circuit board sufficient to deform the resistive material defining the resistor. Any number of such resistors may be formed on or within the printed circuit board, and any such resistor may form part of an external resistor bridge network configured to monitor changes in its resistance value.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2003Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: M.
