  • Publication number: 20230005834
    Abstract: An electrical component is provided by metallizing holes that extend through a glass substrate. The electrical component can be fabricated by forcing a suspension of electrically conductive particles suspended in a liquid medium through the holes. The suspension can be forced into the holes under an air pressure differential such as a pressure differential force, a centrifugal force, or an electrostatic force. The liquid medium in the holes can be dried, and the particles can be sintered. The particles can further be packed in the hole. Alternatively or additionally, the particles can be pressed against the outer surfaces of the substrate to produce buttons.

  • Patent number: 11107702
    Abstract: A method to reduce the number and type of processing steps to achieve conductive lines in the planes of a substrate concurrently interconnecting conductor through the substrate, by forming structures in the planes of a substrate. These structures may include interconnect lines, bond pads, and other structures, and improve the performance of subsequent unique processing while simultaneously reducing the manufacturing complexity to reduce time and cost. These structures are formed by selective etching using chemical mechanical polishing, and then completed using a single fill step with a conductive material.

  • Patent number: 5098741
    Abstract: A system for delivering a liquid reagent to a low pressure reactor in the vapor phase includes a source of the liquid reagent, a metering valve for measuring precise volumes of the liquid reagent and transporting those volumes to an expansion valve at a precisely controlled flow rate, and a vaporizing chamber. The expansion valve includes an adjustable orifice which is adjusted in response to pressure disturbances upstream of the expansion valve so as to decrease variations of the liquid flow rate to the expansion valve and thereby enhance uniformity of the vapor phase flow rate downstream of the expansion valve.
