Stacked Arrangement Patents (Class 257/686)
  • Patent number: 11527415
    Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a multilayer wiring board including: alternately stacking wiring layers and insulating layers; stacking a reinforcing sheet having openings on one surface of the resulting multilayer laminate with a soluble adhesive layer therebetween; contacting or infiltrating the soluble adhesive layer with a liquid capable of dissolving the soluble adhesive layer through the openings to thereby dissolve or soften the soluble adhesive layer; and releasing the reinforcing sheet from the multilayer laminate at the position of the soluble adhesive layer. This method enables the multilayer wiring layer to be reinforced so as to generate no large local warpage, thereby improving the reliable connection in the multilayer wiring layer and the flatness (coplanarity) on the surface of the multilayer wiring layer. The reinforcing sheet having finished its role can be released in a significantly short time, while minimizing the stress applied to the multilayer laminate.

  • Patent number: 11361140
    Abstract: Automated routing of signal nets for interposer designs. Signal nets are defined by their endpoints (bumps). The nets and their corresponding bumps are assigned to bump groups, based on the relative locations of the bumps and also based on length-matching constraints for the nets. Some of the bump groups may be “clones,” where the routing for one bump group may also be applied to its clone. In order for two bump groups to be clones, the bumps in the two bump groups must have a same relative position (i.e., same bump pattern), and the nets in the two bump groups must be subject to the same length-matching constraint. The routing through the interposer for one of the clones is determined, and that routing is then replicated for the other clones.
