| 20110214909 | Hydrophobic Silane Coating for Preventing Conductive Anodic Filament (CAF) Growth in Printed Circuit Boards - An enhanced substrate for making a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a hydrophobic silane coating of a silane composition intermixed with a silane coupling agent applied to a glass fiber substrate. The silane coupling agent is applied to the surface of the substrate for coupling the substrate to a varnish coating. Applying the silane coupling agent to the surface of the substrate creates surface silanols, which are implicated in conductive anodic filament (CAF) growth. A silane composition, which reacts with the surface silanols, is applied to the surface of the substrate having the silane coupling agent applied thereto to form the hydrophobic silane coating. The surface presented by the hydrophobic silane coating/substrate is hydrophobic and essentially silanol-free. This surface is then dried, and varnish is applied thereto. Then, the substrate, hydrophobic silane coating and varnish are subjected to curing conditions to define the PCB. | 2011-09-08 |
| 20110214910 | WIRING SUBSTRATE WITH CUSTOMIZATION LAYERS - One or more customization layers can be added to a wiring substrate. The customization layers can provide customized electrical connections from electrical contacts of the base wiring substrate to electrical contacts at an outer surface of the customization layers, which can allow the contacts at the outer surface of the customization layers can be in a different pattern than the contacts at the surface of the base wiring substrate. The customization layers can comprise electrically insulating material, electrically conductive via structures through the insulating material, electrically conductive traces, electrically conductive jumpers electrically connecting two traces without contacting a trace disposed between the two traces, and/or other such elements. A jumper can be formed by making a relatively small deposit of electrically insulating material between the two traces to be connected and then making a relatively small deposit of electrically conductive material on parts of the two traces and the insulating material. Via structures can be coupled to traces and an insulating material can be cast around the via structures. Alternatively, via structures can be formed in openings with sloped side walls in an insulating layer. | 2011-09-08 |
| 20110214911 | CIRCUIT SYSTEM WITH LEADS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF - A method of manufacture of a circuit system includes: providing a carrier base; forming a cavity in the carrier base; forming a bridge lead over the cavity, the bridge lead exposing the cavity; and mounting a device having an anchor interconnect, the anchor interconnect is in the cavity and conformal to the bridge lead over the cavity. | 2011-09-08 |
