  • Patent number: 8042261
    Abstract: A method for fabricating the embedded thin film resistors of a printed circuit board is provided. The embedded thin film resistors are formed using a resistor layer built in the printed circuit board. In comparison with conventional discrete resistors, embedded thin film resistors contribute to a smaller printed circuit board as the space for installing conventional resistors is saved, and better signal transmission speed and quality as the parasitic capacitive reactance effect caused by two contact ends of the conventional resistors is also avoided. The method for fabricating the embedded thin film resistors provided by the invention can be conducted using the process and equipment for conventional printed circuit boards and thereby saving the investment on new types of equipment. The method can be applied in the mass production of printed circuit boards and thereby reduce the manufacturing cost significantly.

  • Patent number: 7082666
    Abstract: A method for testing a printed circuit board includes manufacturing a dedicated testing board having protrusive metal points corresponding to the points to be tested on the printed circuit board. A pressure sensitive conductive rubber layer is inserted between the protrusive metal points and the test points. The method connects the protrusive metal points with the points to be tested on the printed circuit board by using the pressure from the press and the flexibility of the conductive rubber. The testing board having protrusive metal points is connected to the dedicated tester through flat cables so that each protrusive metal point is connected to a test node in the tester.
