  • Patent number: 10497847
    Abstract: A heat dissipation substrate structure includes a multilayer circuit board including a core board and build-up boards, a heat conduction layer, a cavity structure, bonding pads, and vias. The heat conduction layer is disposed within the core board, or on a surface of the core board, or on a surface of one of the build-up boards. The cavity structure is in the multilayer circuit board with respect to the heat conduction layer and exposes a first surface of the heat conduction layer. The bonding pads are on the surface of the multilayer circuit board at a side of a second surface of the heat conduction layer. The portions of the vias are connected to portions of the bonding pads and the heat conduction layer. Accordingly, heat flow can be distributed via a heat dissipation path from the bonding pads through the vias to the heat conduction layer.

  • Patent number: 8590147
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a circuit board structure with concave conductive cylinders is provided. Firstly, a conductive layer is provided and a dielectric layer is formed on a surface of the conductive layer. Next, a plurality of vias is formed in the dielectric layer, where the vias are exposed on the surface of the conductive layer. A conductive material is then filled in the vias to form a plurality of conductive cylinders on the surface of the conductive layer, so that the tips of the conductive cylinders are exposed on a surface of the dielectric layer relatively far away from the conductive layer. The exposed tips of the conductive cylinders are removed, so that the height of the conductive cylinders is lower than the dielectric layer and the conductive cylinders sunk into the dielectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20050230711
    Abstract: A connecting circuit structure is provided for a circuit carrier. The circuit connecting structure includes at least two insulating layers, two conductive layers, and one conductive pad, wherein a via hole is formed from each of the insulating layers through corresponding insulating layer. One insulating layer is formed over the other. The conductive pad is disposed between the two insulating layers, and two surfaces of the conductive pad are connected to the two via holes respectively. Two conductive layers are respectively formed in the via hole on a same side of the circuit connecting structure in order to connect to the conductive pad respectively. Since a depth/width ratio of the via hole is reduced according to the circuit connecting structure in the present invention, voids and bubbles are effectively avoided and the reliability of fabricating method thereof is increased.
