  • Patent number: 8356393
    Abstract: A method for producing a polymer piezoelectric film, comprising: a process of moving and stretching a crystalline polar polymer sheet in contact with a conductive stretching roller having a diameter of at least 30 mm and a surface friction coefficient which has been reduced to such a level as to allow a relative displacement of the crystalline polar polymer sheet in contact with the conductive stretching roller: and a step in the process of applying a polarization voltage between an electrode disposed opposite to the crystalline polar polymer sheet and the conductive stretching roller to polarize the crystalline polar polymer sheet. As a result, it is possible to stably produce a polymer piezoelectric film exhibiting stable piezoelectricity over a large area. Especially, it is possible to obtain polymer piezoelectric film exhibiting a temperature-dispersion peak temperature of d31 piezoelectricity coefficient at least 120° C. and surface scratches extending in one direction.

  • Publication number: 20130003314
    Abstract: Provided is a substrate wherein wiring layers laminated onto the top and bottom surfaces of a core layer are connected to each other by a simple means. Also provided is a method for manufacturing said substrate. In the provided substrate (10A), a connection substrate (13) is placed in a removed region (12) which goes all the way through a part of a thick core layer (11). Said connection substrate (13) electrically connects a first wiring layer (16A) laminated onto the top surface of the core layer (11) to a second wiring layer (16B) laminated onto the bottom surface of the core layer (11). This eliminates the requirement of providing a through-hole through the core layer (11) for each connection, resulting in a small form-factor substrate (10A) with a high wiring density.

  • Publication number: 20120304460
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a module, a substrate is placed above a resin bath while a electronic component is directed downward. In addition, a resin thrown into the resin bath is softened until it becomes flowable. Then, a first surface of the substrate is brought into contact with a liquid surface of the softened resin. The softened resin is allowed to flow forcibly into a gap between the substrate and the electronic component. Then, the resin cures, and a resin portion is formed. Further, a metal thin film is formed on the surface of the resin portion by sputtering to form the shield metal film.

    Abstract: A sheet in an electronic display is composed of a substrate containing an array of wire electrodes. The wire electrodes are preferably electrically connected to patterned transparent conductive electrode lines. The wire electrodes are used to carry the bulk of the current. The wire electrodes are capable of being extended away from the substrate and connected directly to the printed circuit board. The transparent conductive electrode (TCE) is used to spread the charge or voltage from the wire electrode across the pixel. The TCE is a patterned film and must be at least 50% transparent, and, for most applications, is preferably over 90% transparent. In most applications, the electroded surface of the electroded sheet has to be flattened. Use of a thin polymer substrate yields a light, flexible, rugged sheet that may be curved, bent or rolled.

    Abstract: A wiring board (package) has a structure in which multiple wiring layers are stacked one on top of another with insulating layers each interposed between corresponding two of the wiring layers, and the wiring layers are connected to each other through vias formed in the insulating layers. In the peripheral region around the chip mounting area of the outermost insulating layer on one of both surfaces of the board, a pad is formed in a bump shape to cover a surface of a portion of the outermost insulating layer, the portion being formed to protrude, and a pad whose surface is exposed from the insulating layer is arranged in the chip mounting area. A chip is flip-chip bonded to the pad of the package, and another package is bonded to the bump shaped pad in a peripheral region around the chip (package-on-package bonding).

  • Publication number: 20100132997
    Abstract: A multilayer wiring substrate is manufactured through a recess forming step, a gold-diffusion-prevention-layer forming step, a terminal forming step, resin-insulating-layer forming step, a conductor forming step, and a metal-layer removing step. In the recess forming step, a copper foil layer is half-etched so as to form recesses. In the gold-diffusion-prevention-layer forming step, a gold diffusion prevention layer is formed in each recess. In the terminal forming step, a gold layer, a nickel layer, and a copper layer are stacked in sequence on the gold diffusion prevention layer to thereby form a surface connection terminal. In the resin-insulating-layer forming step, a resin insulating layer is formed, and, in the conductor forming step, via conductors and conductor layers are formed. In the metal-layer removing step, the copper foil layer and the gold diffusion prevention layer are removed so that the gold layer projects from the main face of the laminated structure.

  • Publication number: 20100096744
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a printed wiring board in which solder bumps of a mounted semiconductor chip are less prone to be ruptured. The printed wiring board includes a coreless substrate which includes: a dielectric layer having a main surface and a connecting pad embedded in the dielectric layer. The connecting pad is shaped like a brimmed hat. That is, the connecting pad includes a plate portion whose diameter ?1 is about 95 ?m and a contact portion whose diameter ?c is about 75 ?m. The main surface of the contact portion is exposed at the main surface of the dielectric layer. Since diameter ?c of the contact portion is substantially the same as diameter ?2 of an under bump metal at the semiconductor chip side, even if mechanical stress is applied in a direction in which the semiconductor chip is peeled off from the coreless substrate, the stress disperses evenly to both of the connecting pad and the under bump metal, and thus rupture is less prone to occur.

  • Publication number: 20100071951
    Abstract: The multilayer wiring board is provided with a lower layer wiring (8), and an upper layer wiring (10) formed on the lower layer wiring (8) through an interlayer insulating layer (9). On the interlayer insulating layer (9), a contact hole (11) is provided for interconnecting the upper layer wiring (8) with the lower layer wiring (10). A region surrounded by an inner wall (13) which forms the contact hole (11) is permitted to have a linewidth region wherein a wide line region (13A) and protruding regions (13B, 13C) as regions having different linewidths are connected. Thus, film thickness distribution of an ink baked product (12) formed at the contact hole (11) rises at the protruding regions (13B, 13C), and highly reliable multilayer interconnection can be performed between the lower layer wiring (8) and the upper layer wiring (10).
