  • Publication number: 20060055023
    Abstract: A chip carrier comprising a laminated layer and an oxidation protection layer is provided. The oxidation protection layer is a non-electrolytic metallic coating or an organic oxidation protection film on the surface of bonding finger pads or other contacts formed by deploying a simple, fast film-coating technique. Therefore, there is no need to plate a Ni/Au layer on the bonding pads or contacts using expensive electroplating equipment for preventing oxidation and there is no need to fabricate plating lines on the chip carrier or reserve space for laying out the plating lines. Thus, the cost for fabricating the chip carrier is reduced, the effective area of the chip carrier is increased and the electrical performance of the chip carrier is improved.

  • Publication number: 20060012030
    Abstract: A multi-conducting through hole structure is provided. The multi-conducting through hole structure has a substrate, at least two signal lines and at least a reference line. The substrate has a through hole passing therethrough. The signal lines are disposed on a portion of an inner surface of the through hole and extended through the through hole.
