  • Publication number: 20130029178
    Abstract: An active solder is revealed. The active solder includes an active material and a metal substrate. There are two kinds of active materials, titanium together with rare earth elements and magnesium. The metal substrate is composed of a main component and an additive. The main component is tin-zinc alloy and the additive is selected from bismuth, indium, silver, copper or their combinations. The active solder enables targets and backing plates to be joined with each other directly in the atmosphere. The target is ceramic or aluminum with low wetting properties. The bonding temperature of the active solder ranges from 150° C. to 200° C. so that the problem of thermal stress can be avoided.

  • Patent number: 8288280
    Abstract: A conductor removal process is described, which is applied to a substrate that has thereon a plurality of patterns and a blanket conductor layer covering the patterns. An upper portion of the blanket conductor layer entirely over the patterns is oxidized to form a dielectric layer. A CMP step is performed to remove the dielectric layer and a portion of the remaining conductor layer in turn and thereby expose the patterns.

  • Publication number: 20060021734
    Abstract: A heat sink and heat spreader bonding structure includes a metal heat sink, a metal heat spreader, and an eutectic structure formed between the heat sink and the heat spreader by heating the heat sink and the heat spreader to a specific temperature of the eutectic temperature of the heat sink and the heat spreader but below the respective melting point of the heat sink and the heat spreader to cause the internal metal atoms of the heat sink and heat spreader to be rearranged. This bonding structure maintains the heat transfer efficiency of the bonding layer between the heat sink and the heat spreader, eliminates formation of crevice, heat resistance, and oxidation in the bonding layer.

  • Patent number: 6202276
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for manufacturing an electromagnetic interference shielding metallic foil cladded plastic outer shell product. A first side of a superplastic alloy foil is coated with an adhesive and then the foil is placed foil in a first half mold to allow the foil to be initially superplastically formed. A second half mold attached to a nozzle of an injection machine is covered onto the first half mold, and the two half molds are closed to further deform superplastic alloy foil. Softened plastic is introduced from the injection machine to a mold cavity between the foil and the second half mold, such that the superplastic alloy foil covered on the first half mold is completely formed and the softened plastic adheres on the adhesive-coated side of the superplastic alloy foil to form an electromagnetic interference shielding metallic foil cladded plastic outer shell product.

  • Patent number: 6182486
    Abstract: The present invention provides a superplastic alloy-containing conductive plastic article for shielding electromagnetic interference. The conductive plastic article is a three-layer structure, in which the outer layers are plastic material, and the inner layer is a superplastic alloy. The requirements for the raw materials are that the melting point of the superplastic alloy is higher than the softening point of the plastic, and the superplastic alloy has superplasticity at a temperature higher than the softening point of the plastic. The conductive plastic article can be manufactured in one processing stage, has the same shielding effectiveness as that of a conventional metal plate article, and can take a delicate and complicated form as that of a conventional plastic article. Moreover, the superplastic alloy contained therein has a uniform thickness and good adherence to plastic.
