Patent number: 12160952Abstract: Electronic devices that include a routing substrate with lower inductance path for a capacitor, and related fabrication methods. In exemplary aspects, to provide lower interconnect inductance for a capacitor coupled to a power distribution network in the routing substrate, an additional metal layer that provides an additional, second power plane is disposed in a dielectric layer between adjacent metal layers in adjacent metallization layers. The additional, second power plane is adjacent to a first power plane disposed in a first metal layer of one of the adjacent metallization layers. The disposing of the additional metal layer in the dielectric layer of the metallization layer reduces the thickness of the dielectric material between the first and second power planes coupled to the capacitor as part of the power distribution network. This reduced dielectric thickness between first and second power planes coupled to the capacitor reduces the interconnect inductance for the capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2022Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Biancun Xie, Shree Krishna Pandey, Chin-Kwan Kim, Ryan Lane, Charles David Paynter

An electronic component and interposer form a sub-assembly. The sub-assembly is placed in an aperture in a circuit board with the interposer providing interconnections between the electronic component and the circuit board.

Patent number: 8796563Abstract: In ultrasonic bonding of a metal terminal to a substrate pad, a thin buffer metal layer which is formed of a soft metal or a highly slidable metal is interposed between a terminal edge and a pad so as to prevent direct contact between an end of the terminal and the pad upon bonding. This makes it possible to prevent abrasion and a crack in the pad at the end of the terminal caused by pressure and an ultrasonic wave upon the ultrasonic bonding. This makes it possible to realize a compact bonded structure with high reliability.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2010Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Ukyo Ikeda, Masato Nakamura, Shiro Yamashita

Patent number: 8749989Abstract: An LTCC carrier composed of thermosetting polymer, woven glass fiber and ceramic has gold over nickel contact pads on top and bottom surfaces and conductive vias therethrough between aligned pairs of top and bottom pads. The vias prevent undesirable inductive paths from limiting high frequency operation of the circuitry. Solder deposits on the top pads attach the LTCC component, which is further secured to the carrier by epoxy, thus improving resistance to thermal stress and mechanical shock. A slot through the carrier body between top and bottom surfaces further reduces thermal stress and mechanical shock. Metallized castellations on opposite carrier sides provide additional surface area for reflow solder joints with the PCB, and a means for visually inspecting the solder joint quality. A gap in the metallization on the top layer of the carrier prevents solder spreading during multiple soldering cycles, which may result in poor solder joints.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2009Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Scientific Components CorporationInventors: Harvey L. Kaylie, Aron Raklyar

Patent number: 8737087Abstract: This invention provides a multilayer printed wiring board in which electric connectivity and functionality are obtained by improving reliability and particularly, reliability to the drop test can be improved. No corrosion resistant layer is formed on a solder pad 60B on which a component is to be mounted so as to obtain flexibility. Thus, if an impact is received from outside when a related product is dropped, the impact can be buffered so as to protect any mounted component from being removed. On the other hand, land 60A in which the corrosion resistant layer is formed is unlikely to occur contact failure even if a carbon pillar constituting an operation key makes repeated contacts.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Ibiden Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiro Watanabe, Michimasa Takahashi, Masakazu Aoyama, Takenobu Nakamura, Hiroyuki Yanagisawa
