Abstract: A circuit board or each circuit board of a multi-layer circuit board includes an electrically conductive sheet coated with an insulating top layer covering one surface of the conductive sheet, an insulating bottom layer covering another surface of the conductive sheet and an insulating edge layer covering an edge of the conductive sheet. An insulating interlayer can be sandwiched between a pair of adjacent circuit boards of a multi-layer circuit board assembly. A landless through-hole or via can extend through one or more of the circuit boards for connecting electrical conductors on opposing surfaces thereof.

Abstract: A substrate for an electronic device package includes an electrically conductive core shaped to define a cavity for receiving an electronic device, a first insulating layer positioned on a first side of the core, and a first contact positioned adjacent to a surface within the cavity. Method of fabricating the substrates is also provided.

Abstract: A substrate or a ceramic package for packaging semiconductor chips, which comprises an insulating layer having a signal line on one surface of said insulating layer and a power line or ground line corresponding to said signal line on the other surface of said insulating layer. A well-controlled constant high frequency characteristics, and particularly, characteristic impedance, can be obtained on the signal line without being influenced by the power line or ground line.

Abstract: A method of mounting an electronic part having a terminal portion on a board on which a circuit including a connection portion is formed. It includes a process of forming a conductive layer on the surface of the terminal portion; a process of forming, on the surface of the connection portion, a conductive layer having a melting point different from that of the conductive layer formed on the surface of the terminal portion; and a process of melting the conductive layer having a low melting point in such a state that the conductive layer of the terminal portion is contacted with the conductive layer of the connection portion, thereby fusing the conductive layer having a low melting point onto the conductive layer having a high melting point.
