  • Patent number: 7059039
    Abstract: A method for producing printed wiring boards comprises the steps of perforating through holes at predetermined positions in an adhesive insulator sheet, filling the through holes with a conductive material such as a conductive paste or metal balls, transferring conductive wiring patterns that have been formed on surfaces of releasable supporting sheets onto the surfaces of the adhesive insulator sheet by heat and pressure. Simultaneously, interlayer via-connections are performed by means of the conductive material filled into the through holes.

  • Patent number: 6888072
    Abstract: A fixture with movable pawls and positioning walls is attached to a circuit board. An electronic component is inserted into the fixture from its upper side. Since the movable pawls move outward due to their slopes, the electronic component is allowed to fit between the positioning walls. After the fitting of the electronic component, the movable pawls hold the sides of the upper face of the electronic component and the positioning walls are in contact with the peripheral walls of the electronic component. Bumps provided on electrode pads of the electronic component are connected to electrodes on the circuit board. Thus, the electronic component can be mounted using the flip chip technique. In addition, the electronic component can be removed easily by moving the movable pawls even after being mounted.

  • Patent number: 6748652
    Abstract: Through holes formed in an electrical insulating substrate having adhesive layers on its both surfaces are filled with a conductor. Then, supporting bases having wiring layers with a predetermined pattern are laminated on both the surfaces of the electrical insulating substrate, which are then heated and pressurized. After that, the supporting bases are removed, thus obtaining a circuit board in which the wiring layers have been embedded in the adhesive layers. The conductor within the through holes are compressed sufficiently, thus forming minute via holes with high reliability.

  • Patent number: 6703565
    Abstract: A printed wiring board includes at least one insulator sheet having through holes filled with conductive material and a conductive wiring pattern. The wiring pattern is embedded in the insulator sheet so that an upper surface of the wiring pattern and surrounding portions of the insulator sheet form a flat surface. The insulator sheet may be made from a glass-epoxy prepreg or of a polyester or polyimide sheet coated with an adhesive or glue. The wiring pattern can be transferred to the insulator sheet from a surface of a releasable supporting sheet.

  • Patent number: 6513236
    Abstract: Bump components mounted on a circuit board on a supporting substrate is covered with a flexible separation wall. A pressure difference is provided between the inner and outer sides of the separation wall and thus the bump components are pressed against the circuit board. When heating is carried out in this state, the bump components and the circuit board are connected with a conductive adhesive or solder. During the heating, the circuit board is not deformed. Therefore, a bump-component mounted body can be manufactured with high yield.

  • Publication number: 20020041009
    Abstract: In a transmission line assembly chip for connection between semiconductor chips, strap-like metallic films and dielectric films are alternately arranged in parallel in a transverse direction, so that an aspect ratio of each transmission line conductor is larger than 1. The assembly chip is formed by laminating metallic foils and dielectric films and cutting the same into a specified thickness to achieve favorable matching of characteristic impedances of the transmission lines.
