  • Patent number: 6846375
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a low-temperature sintering multilayer ceramic wiring board comprising the steps of: forming a wiring layer by printing conductive paste (4) on an unfired green sheet (1); forming a laminate by laminating, on at least one side of a ceramic substrate, the unfired green sheet having the wiring layer; and firing the laminate. The present invention also provides paste for use with this method. In the firing step, after an adhesive layer (8) or binder resin in said green sheet used for lamination burns, glass ceramic in the green sheet starts to sinter, and upon or after the start of sintering of the glass ceramic, conductive particles in the conductive paste starts to sinter. This manufacturing method can provide an precise wiring board without pattern deformation and also provide a low-temperature ceramic multilayer wiring board that has no cracks in the glass ceramic on the periphery of electrodes and has electrodes of a dense film structure.

  • Publication number: 20040070950
    Abstract: A voltage converter module is formed by multi-layering a first connecting layer, a first inner wiring layer, a component built-in layer, a second inner wiring layer, a second connecting layer, and a capacitor-mounted layer, and a capacitor built-in layer with resin composite. A connecting terminal formed on a terminal surface of the first connecting layer, the first inner wiring layer, the second inner wiring layer and the capacitor-mounted layer are electrically coupled to each other through via-hole conductors. The second inner wiring layer couples a voltage converter IC to peripheral components, both being incorporated in the component built-in layer. A first capacitor and a second capacitor incorporated in the capacitor built-in layer are mounted to the capacitor-mounted layer. This structure forms a circuit, in which the first capacitor is coupled to the second capacitor, between the voltage converter IC and the grounding.

  • Patent number: 6429114
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a multi-layer ceramic substrate for forming a first conductive pattern on a ceramic substrate. An intaglio plate is manufactured which has first and second grooves. The grooves are filled with an electroconductive paste. Conductivity of paths in the grooves is increased by deaerating and drying the paste. The intaglio plate is glued to and then separated from a ceramic substrate so that the pattern of the pattern of the electroconductive paste is transferred to the substrate. An insulation layer and a further conductive pattern are then applied.

  • Patent number: 6378424
    Abstract: A method of fabricating electronic parts is provided which is capable of forming fine patterns with high accuracy as well as easily fabricating a multilayered structure of a conductor pattern with high performance. The disclosed method includes the steps of forming a pattern on a surface of a flexible resin sheet by laser process, and then forming a release layer on the surface of the thus obtained pattern, thereby forming an intaglio plate. Next, the intaglio plate is filled with Ag paste, dried and laminated onto an insulating substrate, on which a thermoplastic resin layer is formed. Thereafter, the intaglio plate is peeled from the substrate so that the pattern of the paste is transferred thereon, and a conductor pattern is formed. Further, an insulating layer is formed to cover the conductor pattern and another conductor pattern is formed on the insulating layer, thereby forming a multilayered structure.

  • Patent number: 6374733
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a ceramic substrate used in various electronic appliances, and more particularly to a manufacturing method of a ceramic substrate forming a conductor pattern by intaglio printing. A conductive paste is supplied in the intaglio by using any one of screen mask, metal mask, or drawing device, and therefore the conductive paste can be supplied uniformly in desired positions only. The supplying amount of the conductive paste can be adjusted by repeating printing, so that an optimum amount can be set depending on the pattern. As a result, a fine wiring pattern of thick film can be easily formed, and a ceramic circuit board low in wiring resistance, high in wiring density, and high in dimensional precision of wiring pattern can be obtained.
