    Abstract: Cost effective and efficient methods to maximize printed circuit board (PCB) utilization with minimized signal degradation are provided. The methods include electrically isolating a segmented via structure by controlling the formation of a conductive material within a plated via structure by utilizing different diameter drills within a via structure for trimming the conductive material at the via shoulder (i.e., the rim of a drilled two diameter hole boundary). The trimmed portion may be voided in the via structure for allowing electrically isolated plated through-hole (PTH) segments. One or more areas of trimmed rims within the via structure are used to form multiple stair like diameter holes to create one or more voids in the via structure. As a result, the formation of conductive material within the via structure may be limited to those areas necessary for the transmission of electrical signals.

    Abstract: A substrate package includes a woven fabric having electrically non-conductive strands woven between electrically conductive strands including wire strands, co-axial strands, and/or an inductor pattern of strands. The package may be formed by an inexpensive and high throughput process that first weaves the non-conductive strands (e.g., glass) between the conductive strands to form a circuit board pattern of conductive strands in a woven fabric. Next, the woven fabric is impregnated with a resin material to form an impregnated fabric, which is then cured to form a cured fabric. The upper and lower surfaces of the cured fabric are subsequently planarized. Planarizing segments and exposes ends of the wire, co-axial, and inductor pattern strands. Since the conductive strands were formed integrally within the planarized woven fabric, the substrate has a high mechanical stability and provides conductor strand based electrical components built in situ in the substrate package.

    Abstract: [Objective] To provide a multilayer wiring substrate in which, even when a core substrate is thinned, the core substrate can reliably accommodate a capacitor. [Means for Solution] A multilayer wiring substrate 10 includes a sheetlike capacitor element 101, a resin filler 92, and via conductors 43 and 47. A sheetlike capacitor element 101 has an element main-surface 102 and an element back-surface 103, is configured such that a dielectric layer 107 is sandwiched directly between a main-surface-side electrode layer 105 exposed at the element main-surface 102 side and a back-surface-side electrode layer 106 exposed at the element back-surface 103 side, and is accommodated at least partially in an accommodation hole 90 such that a core main-surface 12 and the element main-surface 102 face the same direction. A resin filler 92 is charged into a gap between the sheetlike capacitor element 101 and an inner wall surface 91 of the accommodation hole 90.

    Abstract: A board for mechanically supporting and electrically connecting electronic components includes a non-conductive substrate, a plurality of electrically conductive traces and pads disposed on the non-conductive substrate, and a solder mask applied to the non-conductive substrate and covering the traces. Metal lines are disposed on the non-conductive substrate under the solder mask and along at least two sides of the pads disposed in corners of the non-conductive substrate, so that a metal line is interposed between the pads in the corners of the non-conductive substrate and each adjacent pad. The metal lines form a raised region in the solder mask along the metal lines which prevents solder bridging in the corners of the non-conductive substrate during solder reflow. A corresponding semiconductor package and semiconductor assembly with such solder bridging prevention structures are also provided.
