  • Publication number: 20140326495
    Abstract: A printed circuit board for carrying high frequency signals. Conducting structures of the printed circuit board are shaped within breakout regions to limit impedance discontinuities in the signal paths between vias and conductive traces within the printed circuit board. Values of parameters of traces or anti-pads, for example, may be adjusted to provide a desired impedance. The specific values selected as part of designing a printed circuit board may match the impedance of the breakout region to that of the via. The parameters for which values are selected may include the trace width, thickness, spacing, length over an anti-pad or angle of exit from the breakout region.

    Abstract: A land grid array (LGA) includes a grid array of metal pads plated directly onto a printed circuit board, and a discrete metal pad soldered to each of the plated metal pads in the grid array. Each discrete metal pad has an exposed contact surface after soldering, and a thickness of each discrete metal pad is selected as a function of location in the grid array so that the discrete pads provide a locus of exposed surfaces having greater flatness than the printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 8878072
    Abstract: A method for forming a frame attachment interconnect between a substrate and a frame is disclosed. The method can include applying a composite material (e.g., epoxy-glass prepreg) to a surface of a substrate. The composite material can have one or more holes disposed to substantially align with a corresponding pad on the surface of the substrate. A metal disc is placed in each hole of the composite material on top of the corresponding pad. A frame member can be placed on top of the composite material and the metal discs. The frame member can have one or more pads disposed to substantially align with the metal discs. The substrate, composite material, metal discs and frame combination can be cured in a controlled atmosphere that can include a vacuum and a predetermined temperature to create discrete electrical connections between adjacent pads but with each encapsulated and electrically isolated.

    Abstract: Provided are a tape carrier package and a method of manufacturing the same, the method, including: forming through holes by performing a drill process using a laser to an insulating film of a flexible copper clad laminate (FCCL) film consisting of the insulating film and a copper layer; forming a circuit pattern layer by performing an etching process to the copper layer of the FCCL film; and selectively forming a plating layer on the circuit pattern layer. The method of manufacturing the tape carrier package according to the present invention is advantageous because a punching process, and processes for laminating and drying the copper layer which are necessary for the conventional method of manufacturing the tape carrier package can be omitted, a production cost of the tape carrier package is reduced, and the time required for the drying process is saved.

  • Patent number: 8861217
    Abstract: This relates to systems and methods for providing one or more vias through a module of an electrical system. For example, in some embodiments, the module can include one or more passive elements and/or active of the electrical system around which a packaging has been plastic molded. The module can be stacked under another component of the electrical system. Vias can then be provided that extend through the module. The vias can include, for example, electrically conductive pathways. In this manner, the vias can provide electrical pathways for coupling the component stacked on top of the module to other entities of an electronic device including the electrical system. For example, the component can be coupled to other entities such as other components, other modules, printed circuit boards, other electrical systems, or to any other suitable entity.

  • Patent number: 8851358
    Abstract: One plate-like member and the other plate-like member to be aligned with each other are provided with guide holes and guide portions to be received in the guide holes, respectively. The plate-like members are aligned appropriately, and in a state in which this alignment is held, the guide portions are formed on land portions provided on the other plate-like member so as to be aligned with the guide holes. Accordingly, regardless of presence/absence or size of a process error in the guide holes, the guide portions appropriate to the respective guide holes can be formed. Consequently, by aligning the guide portions with the guide holes, the plate-like members can be aligned appropriately without relative fine adjustment between the members.
