  • Patent number: 5776662
    Abstract: To inhibit the migration of conductive layers in a multilayer chip carrier, e.g., a multilayer printed circuit board, an optically cured layer 13, which is an anti-migration layer, is formed in an insulating layer 12 located between a first conductive layer 8 and a second conductive layer 6. Such a structure is formed by thinning, e.g., grinding down, a first insulating layer, leaving about half the thickness of the first insulating layer. This first insulating layer is selectively optically irradiated with actinic radiation to form an optically cured layer. Via holes are etched into the non-irradiated portions of the first insulating layer. Thereafter, a second insulating layer is formed on the first insulating layer, and it too is selectively optically irradiated with actinic radiation. Via holes are etched into the non-irradiated portions of the second insulating layer, directly over the via holes in the first insulating layer, and the second insulating layer is also thinned.

  • Patent number: 5434748
    Abstract: An electronic circuit equipment including a substantially box-shaped case main body (10) for defining a sealed interior space therein and an electronic circuit board (11) having a plurality of electronic components (12) thereon. The case main body (10) comprises a case body (13) and a flat plate-shaped lid (17) positioned properly with respect to the case body (13) to seal the interior space. A vent hole (20) is formed in the bottom wall of the case body (13) for communicating the interior of the case body (13) with ambient atmosphere. A cover member is attached to the case body (13) to cover the vent hole hermetically. By using a cover member, the interior space of the case body (13) is sealed for protecting electronic components (12) on the electronic circuit board (11) from moisture and rainwater and, for absorbing a pressure fluctuation therein. A mounting flange extends from the case body and surrounds the vent hole. The cover member is a flexible diaphragm with a circumferential bulge.

  • Patent number: 5371407
    Abstract: The use of a conductive reactive braze material, loaded in via holes of a diamond substrate and heated in a suitable temperature range, results in conductive vias with excellent adherence to the via hole in the diamond material. Cracking of the diamond substrate, and loose or lost via elements, are minimized. A form of the disclosure is directed to a method for producing a circuit board having a multiplicity of conductive vias. A generally planar diamond substrate is provided. A multiplicity of via holes are formed through the substrate. The holes are loaded with a conductive reactive braze material. The braze material and the substrate are heated to a temperature which causes the braze material to melt and to react with the inner surface of the via holes and bond thereto.

  • Patent number: 5315239
    Abstract: Low temperature, co-fired ceramic (LTCC) modules (10, 80, 82, 110, 102, 140, 160) are interconnected to one another, stacked and automatically connected to other modules by rigid LTCC interconnecting modules (104), or provided with covers or hermetically sealed covers (130, 166) that automatically register and make electrical or mechanical connections between the cover and the protected module. The various types of connections are achieved by forming in the LTCC modules, during the lamination process, patterns of frictionally interfitting bumps (60, 62, 66, 84a, 84b, 84c) on one side and depressions (70, 72, 76, 81a, 81b, 81c) on the other, whereby a pattern of bumps on one side of one module will connect both mechanically and electrically to a mating pattern of depressions on the other module to stack and automatically lock vertical packages of LTCC modules.
