    摘要: A tunable high impedance surface device (100) includes a conductive ground plane (105) and a plurality of conductive elements (110-114) electrically connected to the conductive ground plane (105). The device (100) also includes a plurality of capacitive elements (120-124) operable to vary a predetermined electromagnetic characteristic of the apparatus and standoffs (130, 132) between the plurality of capacitive elements (120-124) and the plurality of conductive elements (110-114). In one form, laser-drilled and electrically conductive micro-vias (136, 138) extend through the standoffs (130, 132) thereby electrically connecting the plurality of capacitive elements (120-124) to a data bus (140). The capacitive elements (120-124) may be integral with a circuit board (144) that supports the plurality conductive elements (110-114). Either the capacitive elements (120-124) or the conductive elements (110-114) are mechanically flexible and selectively movable to controllably adjust the distance (142) between the capacitive and conductive elements.

    摘要: A textured dielectric patch antenna is fabricated by applying a first mask pattern (310, 510, 610, 710, 915, 1015, 1210) to a first side of a solid panel made of a first material that is a ceramic dielectric and then sandblasting the solid panel through the first mask pattern from the first side to at least partially generate a shaped cavity (315, 920, 1040). The shaped cavity of the solid panel may be filled with a second material (330, 740). The first and second materials have substantially differing dielectric constants. The first side and second side of the solid panel are metallized (325), forming a patch antenna. The shaped cavities can be made more complex by using additional masking and/or sandblasting steps.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a microelectronic assembly to have a resistor, and particularly a metal resistive film, with desirable processing and dimensional characteristics. The method generally entails applying a photosensitive dielectric to a substrate to form a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is photoimaged to polymerize a first portion of the dielectric layer on a first region of the substrate, leaving the remainder of the dielectric layer unpolymerized. An electrically resistive film is then applied to the dielectric layer, and the dielectric layer is developed to remove concurrently the unpolymerized portion thereof and the portion of the resistive film overlying the unpolymerized portion, so that a portion of the resistive film remains over the second portion to form the resistor. An alternative process order is to apply the resistive film prior to exposing the dielectric layer to radiation, and then exposing the dielectric layer through the resistive film. The resistive film is preferably a multilayer film that includes an electrically resistive layer, such as NiP, NiCr or another nickel-containing alloy, and a sacrificial backing such as a layer of copper.

    摘要: A method for fabricating circuit board conductors with desirable processing and reduced self and mutual capacitance. The method generally entails forming a metal layer on a positive-acting photodielectric layer formed on a substrate, and then etching the metal layer to form at least two conductor traces that cover two separate regions of the photodielectric layer while exposing a third region of the photodielectric layer between the two regions. The third region of the photodielectric layer is then irradiated and developed using the two traces as a photomask, so that the third region of the photodielectric layer is removed. The two remaining regions of the photodielectric layer masked by the traces remain on the substrate and are separated by an opening formed by the removal of the third dielectric region. As a result, the traces are not only separated by a void immediately therebetween formed when the metal layer was etched, but are also separated by the opening formed in the photodielectric layer by the removal of the third region of the photodielectric layer. Traces formed in accordance with the above may be formed as adjacent and parallel conductors or adjacent inductor windings of an integral inductor.
