Patents by Inventor JIM RATHBURN

JIM RATHBURN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9930775
    Abstract: An electrical interconnect including a first circuitry layer with a first surface and a second surface. A first liquid dielectric layer is imaged directly on the first surface of the first circuitry layer to form a first dielectric layer with a plurality of first recesses. Conductive plating substantially fills a plurality of the first recesses to create a plurality of first solid copper conductive pillars electrically coupled to, and extending generally perpendicular to, the first circuitry layer. A second liquid dielectric layer is imaged directly on the first dielectric layer to form a second dielectric layer with a plurality of second recesses. Conductive plating substantially fills a plurality of the second recesses to form a plurality of second solid copper conductive pillars electrically coupled to, and extending parallel with, the first conductive pillars. An IC device is electrically coupled to a plurality of the second conductive pillars.

  • Patent number: 9350093
    Abstract: A electrical interconnect adapted to provide an interface between contact pads on an IC device and a PCB, including a multi-layered substrate with a first surface with a plurality of first openings having first cross-sections, a second surface with a plurality of second openings having second cross-sections, and center openings connecting the first and second openings. The contact members include first contact tips extending through the first opening and above the first surface, second contact tips extending through the second openings and above the second surface, and center portions located in the center openings. The center portions include a shape adapted to bias the first and second contact tips toward the IC device and PCB, respectively. A dielectric material different from the material of the substrate is located in at least one of the first opening, the second opening, or the center opening.

  • Patent number: 9318862
    Abstract: An electrical interconnect including a substrate with at least two adjacent layers configured to translate relative to each other between a nominal position and a translated position. A plurality of through holes are formed through the layers from a first surface of the substrate to a second surface of the substrate in both the nominal position and the translated position. At least one contact member is positioned in the through holes with distal portions accessible from the first surface and a proximal portions positioned near the second surface. The proximal portion of the contact members are secured to the substrate near the second surface with a conductive structure. The two adjacent layers of the substrate are translated from the nominal position to the translated position to elastically deform the contact members within the through holes and to displace the distal portions of the contact members toward the conductive structures, respectively.

The electrical interconnect includes a multi-layered substrate with a first surface with a plurality of first openings having first cross-sections, a second surface with a plurality of second openings having second cross-sections, and center openings connecting the first and second openings. The center openings include at least one cross-section greater than the first and second cross-sections. A plurality of spring probe contact members are located in the center openings. The contact members include first contact tips extending through the first opening and above the first surface, second contact tips extending through the second openings and above the second surface, and center portions located in the center openings. The center portions include a shape adapted to bias the first and second contact tips toward the IC device and PCB, respectively.
