  • Combined solderable multi-purpose surface finishes on circuit boards and method of manufacture of such boards
    Publication number: 20080268267
    Abstract: A circuit board, in one embodiment a printed wiring board (PWB); in a second embodiment a substrate for an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or Chip Carrier; and a method of manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, the PWB, ASIC or Chip Carrier includes: (1) a substrate having a conductive trace located thereon and (2) a combined, multi-purpose surface finish utilizing an electroless or electrolytically deposited nickel under-plate finished with a coating of an organic solderability preservative (OSP) and is located on at least a portion of the conductive areas (trace, pad, fingers, etc), which forms both a non-contact finish and a contact finish for the PWB, ASIC or Chip Carrier.
