摘要:
An electrolytic print head comprises a plurality of styli (16, 18) between electrically insulative laminae (38, 42, 48, 38', 42', 48') which space the styli from planar reference electrodes (20, 22, 24). The styli and reference electrodes are fabricated of a mixture of ruthenium dioxide and corrosion resistant glass, and the insulative laminae are fabricated of corrosion resistant glass. The method of manufacture of the print head facilitates use of styli and reference electrodes requiring high temperature processing prior to deposition of metal conductor tracks for the styli and reference electrodes.

A method for forming a pattern in a metallic and/or ceramic substrate by laminating together the substrate which is in the green stage and a composite of a photosensitive material and a backing wherein the photosensitive material has been developed into the desired pattern, and then subjecting the substrate to elevated temperatures in order to cause sintering of the substrate and removal of the photosensitive material, thereby resulting in embedding of the pattern into the sintered substrate.

Methods of fabricating powders of electrically conductive particles supersaturated with grain growth control additives are described. A molten admixture of an electrically conductive material and a grain growth control additive is atomized by spraying an inert atmosphere forming fine molten particles which rapidly cool to form solid particles which are supersaturated with the grain growth control additive. The supersaturated particles are heated to form an electrical conductor having grain sizes less than about 25 microns. The supersaturated particles can be combined with a binder to form an electrical conductor forming paste. Patterns of the paste can be embedded in a green ceramic which can be sintered to form a semiconductor chip packaging substrate having electrical conductors with controlled grain size. During sintering of the combination of ceramic precursor and conductor forming paste, the grain growth control additive results in a substantially void free and crack free via filled with metal having a fine grain morphology.

A hermetic package for an electronic device is manufactured by providing a green glass ceramic body with a green via to produce a workpiece. The workpiece is sintered at a temperature at or above 500.degree. C., while compressing the workpiece at a pressure at or above 100 pounds per square inch, so as to obtain a hermetic package. The green via comprises a mixture of copper and a glass ceramic material with a sufficient volume of glass to produce a hermetic package, yet with sufficient copper to have a suitable electrical conductivity.The hermetic package thus produced comprises a sintered glass ceramic body having an electrically conductive sintered via which is hermetically bonded to the glass ceramic body and which comprises a mixture of an electrically conductive material and a glass ceramic material. The electrically conductive material forms at most 50 volume percent of the via.The workpiece may be sintered in a sintering fixture having a frame and a compensating insert. The compensating insert and frame bound a sintering chamber for accommodating the workpiece. By providing a frame having a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the workpiece, and by providing a compensating insert having a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the frame, a close fit can be assured between the workpiece and the sintering fixture over a large range of temperatures.

A carrier for LSI chips includes a built-in capacitor structure in the carrier. The capacitor is located beneath the chip with the plates of the capacitor parallel to the chip mounting surface or at right angles to the chip mounting surface. The capacitor is formed by assembling an array of capacitive segments together to form the first one of the plates of a capacitor with the other plate spanning a plurality of the segments of the first plate. Each of the segments of the first plate includes a set of conductive via lines which extend up to a severable link on the chip mounting surface. The severable via is cut by means of a laser beam or the like when the capacitor must be repaired by deleting a defective segment of the capacitor. Preferably, the structure includes a pair of parallel conductive charge redistribution planes above and below the capacitor plates with connections to the respective plates providing a low inductance structure achieved by providing a current distribution which results in cancellation of magnetic flux. The lower redistribution plane is preferably connected directly to the lower capacitor plate. The upper redistribution plane is preferably connected to the segments of the first capacitor plate by means of the vias which extend first to the chip mounting surface and then down to the redistribution plane which has connections to the chip mounting pads.
摘要:
A chip carrier system for supporting electronic semiconductor chips is provided with a matched coefficient of thermal expansion as well as a high value of capacitance. The carrier provides both mechanical and electrical connections to the chip. A small sized interposer for a silicon chip possesses high capacitance. An array of dot capacitors is formed between laminated layers of ceramic material. In some cases, conductive surfaces are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of a thin film of ceramic material in which dielectric bodies are interspersed in an array of openings therein. The resultant ceramic dielectric combination has a coefficient of thermal expansion which matches the coefficient of thermal expansion of the silicon chip and the substrate thereby relieving stress upon the solder ball joints between the interposer and both the chip and the substrate. This minimizes the mechanical stress upon the solder ball joints during thermal cycling of the structure. Alternatively, an array of multilayer ceramic capacitors has an array of dielectric bodies located within holes in ceramic layers between capacitor plates, or entire arrays of capacitors are formed in the space between ceramic sheets.

A semiconductor package is described for supporting and interconnecting semiconductor chips, each chip having contact lands on a contact surface, the package also including a substrate with a contact surface. An interposer module is disposed between at least one chip's contact surface and the substrate's contact surface. The interposer module has first and second opposed surfaces and a first plurality of contact locations positioned on its first surface which mate with a chip's contact land. A second plurality of contact locations on the interposer modules second surface are positioned to mate with contact lands on the substrate. A set of conductive vias are positioned within the interposer module and connect the first plurality of contact locations with a first subset of the second plurality of contact locations. A distributed capacitance layer is positioned within the interposer and is adjacent to its first surface. Adjacent to the second surface are X and Y lines which can be used to make engineering change interconnections.
