Abstract: A fine pad pitch organic circuit board with plating solder and a method for fabricating the circuit board with plating solder are provided. The circuit board is formed with a plurality of densely arranged contact pads on at least a surface thereof in the absence of solder mask being applied over the surface. After deposition of a conductive seed layer on the contact pads, a resist layer is applied over the surface of the circuit board, and formed with a plurality of openings for exposing the seed layer corresponding in position to the contact pads. Then, a solder material is deposited in the openings by a plating method. Finally, the resist layer and the seed layer underneath the resist layer are removed, making the circuit board readily subject to subsequent fabrication processes for forming flip-chip joints or board-to-board joints.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a core circuit board having passive components, such as resistors, capacitors and inductors, is disclosed, which can be used to construct a multilayer circuit board having embedded passive components. In making such as a core circuit board, a resistive film which is a continuous or non-continuous is first formed on one side of a conductive foil. Two such conductive foils are laminated onto a high dielectric layer. The electrodes for various passive components or spiral coils for the inductive components and electrical circuit pattern are finally made on the same conductive foils simultaneously. Finally, a core circuit board having passive components for further making a multilayer circuit board is thus constructed.

In embedding a resistor or capacitor, a passive unit of a resistive film or a capacitive film is first made on one side of a conductive foil.

Abstract: A method which includes a flashing process and a process for extruding thermoplastic plastics is provided for achieving more thorough devolatilizing of the solutions of thermoplastic plastics, to ensure that the solutions of thermoplastic plastics are able to be worked continually, wherein the accoustic treatments are introduced into both processes to increase the efficiency of removing volatile components and thus leads to the decrease of the processing time for extruding thermoplastic plastics. In the flashing process, the ultrasonic horns are arranged to scatter the feed stream of the solution which increases the devolatilizing surface of the polymer fluid and, simultaneously, to enhance bubble formation and produce strong agitation in the polymer fluid, thereby increasing the devolatilizing efficiency. In the process of extruding thermoplastic plastics, the ultrasonic horns are arranged in the extruder to enhance both formation and rupture of bubbles, thereby increasing the devolatilizing efficiency.
