Patent number: 8089775Abstract: Conductive or solder bumps are stacked between a mounted component such as a BGA device and a printed wiring substrate in a multileveled printed circuit board unit. An interposer or relay substrate is interposed between the adjacent stacked conductive bumps. The interposer substrate is made of a porous material. When any difference in the expansion is caused between the printed wiring substrate and the mounted component, one side of the interposer substrate receives a relatively smaller displacement force while the other side of the interposer substrate receives a relatively larger displacement force. A shearing stress is induced in the interposer substrate. Deformation of the porous material serves to absorb the shearing stress in the interposer substrate. The conductive bumps bonded on one side of the interposer substrate as well as the conductive bumps bonded on the other side of the interposer substrate may be relieved from a shearing stress.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Shinji Matsuda

Publication number: 20110317373Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for the interconnection of multiple circuit boards within a device. A module is provided which comprises multiple circuit boards interconnected with a plurality of connectors. Modules may be interconnected to other modules using the same connectors. Circuit components are disposed on inner surfaces of the circuit boards of the module. Multiple circuit boards and modules are interconnected by contacts that do not require soldering, that permit the circuit boards and modules to be removably coupled to each other by the contacts, and that permit circuit boards to be positioned by a spaced amount that results in a small spacing between circuit boards. Enclosures are also provided, which allow modules to be configured and secured in both a horizontal and vertical direction. Thus, modules may be interconnected to other modules on each side, as well as interconnected to other modules stacked above or below the module.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2011Publication date: December 29, 2011Inventor: William James McDermid

Publication number: 20110304993Abstract: In a circuit module, a conductive partition is defined by a plurality of conductive chips provided on a component mounting surface. The component mounting surface is divided into a first block and a second block by the conductive partition. The shape of the conductive partition can be freely changed in accordance with the size of a circuit board and the arrangement of electronic components in the first block and the second block by changing the positions of the conductive chips and the number of conductive chips. Electromagnetic interference between the first block and the second block is prevented by the conductive partition.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2011Publication date: December 15, 2011Applicant: MURATA MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventor: Tadaji TAKEMURA

Patent number: RE43112Abstract: A stackable FBGA package is configured such that conductive elements are placed along the outside perimeter of an integrated circuit (IC) device mounted to the FBGA. The conductive elements also are of sufficient size so that they extend beyond the bottom or top surface of the IC device, including the wiring interconnect and encapsulate material, as the conductive elements make contact with the FBGA positioned below or above to form a stack. The IC device, such as a memory chip, is mounted upon a first surface of a printed circuit board substrate forming part of the FBGA. Lead wires are used to attach the IC device to the printed board substrate and encapsulant is used to contain the IC device and wires within and below the matrix and profile of the conductive elements.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2006Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Round Rock Research, LLCInventors: David J.
