Patent number: 8344261Abstract: Disclosed are a carrier substrate including an insulating base material with a copper foil layer formed on at least one surface thereof, a metal layer formed on the copper layer and having a length shorter than that of the copper foil layer, and an insulating layer formed on the metal layer, a fabrication method thereof, a printed circuit board (PCB) using the same, and a fabrication method thereof. Because there is no land at the via and core in the substrate, because a circuit pattern connected with the via can be formed to be finer, so the circuit pattern can be highly integrated and the substrate can become thinner. Thus, a printed circuit board (PCB) having a smaller size and reduced number of layers can be fabricated.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Suk Won Lee, Keung Jin Sohn, Chang Gun Oh

Patent number: 8328971Abstract: Laminated metallic sheets which comprise an interior layer of a viscoelastic polymeric compound sandwiched between outer layers of metallic sheet may exhibit enhanced properties through modification of the viscoelastic phase. In a first embodiment the elastic modulus of the viscoelastic polymeric compound may be reduced by incorporating voids, bubbles or pores within the compound. These voids which may be introduced by introduction of polymeric microspheres are effective in reducing the internal stresses induced in the laminate by temperature changes. In a second embodiment, coating the microspheres with an electrically-conductive layer may be effective in enabling resistance spot welding of such laminated materials.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Hamid G.
