Patent number: 5061438Abstract: The invention is a method for providing an electrically conductive path through a substrate. It is especially useful for electrically connecting together electrically conductive paths (25) on opposite sides of a circuit board (20). The method is characterized by the steps of forming a passage (21) through a substrate (20) that connects to at least one conductive path (25) on each side of the substrate (20), filling the passage (21) with an electrically conductive powder (10), applying pressure with a die (30) to obtain a compacted powder (11) in the passage (21), and then heating the compacted powder (11) to a temperature that increases the conductivity and ductility of the compacted powder (11) and its adhesion to the substrate (20) without adversely affecting the shape or condition of the substrate (20).Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1985Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Assignee: Allied-Signal Inc.Inventors: Edwin D. Lillie, Joseph M. Ilardi, Robert P. Kane

Patent number: 5041943Abstract: The invention relates to an improvement in dielectric type printed circuit boards having wells for mounting active circuit components on a metal substrate for heat dissipation. The improvement resides in a hermetic seal for the printed circuit board which includes a lid hermetically sealed to the top surface of the circuit board, as well as a chemically vapor deposited coating on the dielectric around the active components to prevent seepage of water and oxyen through the lid edges and into the well regions which would otherwise be detrimental to the active components.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1990Date of Patent: August 20, 1991Assignee: Allied-Signal Inc.Inventors: Joseph M. Ilardi, Bernard P. Gollomp, Bruce E. Kurtz

Patent number: 4999740Abstract: A high circuit density printed circuit board is manufactured on a metal substrate by building a layer of photoimageable dielectric on the metal substrate and then imaging the dielectric in a manner so as to create wells for active components which are mounted directly on the metal substrate for the purpose of heat dissipation. The build up of the dielectric layer can be improved to provide circuit traces such as, for example, buried coaxial cables prior to the imaging process to achieve even higher density with conventional circuit boards.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1989Date of Patent: March 12, 1991Assignee: Allied-Signal Inc.Inventors: Joseph M. Ilardi, Bernard P. Gollomp

Patent number: 4921777Abstract: This method relates to a process for manufacturing printed circuit boards in which a metal coating is sputtered onto certain regions of a substrate. Adhesion of the sputtered material is excellent. Surface preparation of the substrate and etching thereof prior to sputtering are virtually eliminated. Films deposited by sputtering exhibit uniform coverage and thickness.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1988Date of Patent: May 1, 1990Assignee: Allied-Signal Inc.Inventors: Howard A. Fraenkel, Joseph M. Ilardi, Bruce E. Kurtz, Frank A. Spicciati

Patent number: 4569720Abstract: The invention relates to a novel process of etching a metal clad substrate which comprises contacting said substrate with one or more reactive gases, as for example ozone, to form one or more reaction products on the surface of the said metal which are more friable than said metal, and striking said reaction products with a plurality of abrasive particles.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1984Date of Patent: February 11, 1986Assignee: Allied CorporationInventors: Thomas A. Schmitkons, George J. Samuels, Joseph M. Ilardi

Patent number: 4498706Abstract: Separate deposits of trona or nahcolite ore are solution mined with two solvents, aqueous sodium hydroxide and aqueous hydrogen chloride. Aqueous sodium carbonate solution is withdrawn from the region of the NaOH-treated ore deposit, for recovery of soda ash. Aqueous sodium chloride brine is withdrawn from the region of the HCl-treated ore deposit and introduced to an electrodialysis cell to regenerate the two solvents and thereby continue the solution mining cycle.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1983Date of Patent: February 12, 1985Assignee: Intermountain Research & Development Corp.Inventors: Joseph M.
