Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are presented for reinforcing and stiffening a printed circuit board (PCB) in selected locations by utilizing preferentially oriented fibers. Selected fibers within the polymeric material matrix of the PCB fiber-matrix layer are removed and replaced with a similar quantity of fibers in a preferential orientation. Various combinations of layering of modified fiber-matrix layer material with conventional fiber-matrix layer material are presented to achieve the desired PCB stiffening. Printed circuit boards, under the weight of heavy attached electronic components, may deflect or flex along an axis, defined as the characteristic fold. This flexing is exasperated with manufacturing and handling loading, particularly when mounted in a chassis. Preferentially orientated fibers laid transverse to the characteristic fold reinforces the area to resist flexure within the area surrounding the characteristic fold. Reducing PCB flexure is particularly important in locations of the PCB containing surface mount technology (SMT) components, such as ball grid array electronic components. The lead attachment for BGA components is particularly susceptible to PCB flexure resulting in lead fatigue, fracture and failure. The presented methods and apparatus provide PCB stiffening without the addition of external PCB stiffeners and without effecting the PCB overall thickness, fiber to matrix ratio, uniform properties, or dielectric properties.
Abstract:
A circuit board includes an electrical insulator layer formed of a reinforcer sheet with density distribution in its in-plane direction, an electrical conductor filled in a plurality of inner via holes provided in the electrical insulator layer in its thickness direction, and a wiring layer connected to the electrical conductor. The inner via holes provided in a high-density portion of the reinforcer sheet are formed to have a smaller cross-section than the inner via holes provided in a low-density portion of the reinforcer sheet. In this manner, it is possible to provide a circuit board that can achieve a high-density wiring and an inner via connection resistance with less variation, when a base material including a reinforcer sheet with density distribution in its in-plane direction such as a glass-epoxy base material is used for an insulator layer.

Abstract:
A multilayer printed circuit board in which multiple layers of a composite material, fabricated by the lay-up of an aramid fiber tape, are employed to provide a circuit board with a desired coefficient of thermal expansion. Tape lay-up of aramid fibers provides a composite layer having a lower thermal coefficient of expansion than a composite layer fabricated from woven aramid fibers. Degradation in the tensile modulus of elasticity caused by the over and under characteristics of woven fabrics is also eliminated by tape lay-up, thus providing a circuit board with better mechanical strength. In addition, tape lay-up reduces the amount of resin required to fabricate the circuit board and eliminates the need for twisting the aramid fibers into yarns and then weaving the yarns, thus reducing the cost of the circuit board.
