  • Publication number: 20110226519
    Abstract: An electric connection structure and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The present invention provides a fixing thread fixed to a substrate and disposed on an upper surface of the substrate. The fixing thread is fixed to the substrate by shuttling between, binding, or penetrating through the upper surface and the bottom surface of the substrate. And then, a bare end of a signal line is fixed to the upper surface of the substrate by welding a solder thereby. When the solder is cooled down to solidify, the fixing thread generates a pull force applied on the solder pulling the solder toward the upper surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20070063243
    Abstract: A new structure is provided to replace the existing common planar capacitor structure used in printed circuit boards. The conventional common planar capacitor structure utilizes a single dielectric layer and embedded capacitors with different capacitances are achieved by adjusting the sizes of the embedded capacitors' conductive terminals. Since general applications usually require capacitors whose capacitance range covers several orders of magnitude, these embedded capacitors have significant differences in terms of their conductive terminals' sizes. This will make the manufacturing process more complicated and difficult. The new structure combines inorganic material having a specific dielectric constant and polymer having another specific dielectric constant into a singulated non-overlapping coplanar capacitor structure that is easy to manufacture and provides better precision.
