The assembly is encapsulated 900 with electrically insulating material 908 with vias 420, 1002 formed or drilled 1000 through the substrate 808 to the components' leads 412. Then the assembly is plated 1200 and the encapsulation and drilling process 1500 repeated to build up desired layers 422, 1502, 1702. Assemblies may be mated 1800. Within the mated assemblies, items may be inserted including pins 2202a, 2202b, and 2202c, mezzanine interconnection devices 2204, heat spreaders 2402, and combination heat spreaders and heat sinks 2602. Edge card connectors 2802 may be attached to the mated assemblies.
摘要:
A method (10) for manufacturing a monolithic molded electronic assembly (12). A mold (14) having first and second mold potions (14a-b) that mate to form an interior chamber (16) is provided. The mold has an injection port (22) and channel (24) connecting into the chamber. Electronic parts (30) having electronic contacts (32) are populated onto the second mold portion, to be substantially contained in the chamber. The mold potions are mated together and a liquid insulating molding material (36) is injected through the injection port channel to fill the chamber. The molding material is hardened to a solid, thereby embedding the electronic parts in the molding material as a monolithic sub-assembly (40). The monolithic sub-assembly is removed from the mold and one or more solderless conductive circuits (50) are applied to the electronic contacts of the electronic parts, thereby providing the electronic assembly.
摘要:
The present invention provides an electronic assembly 400 and a machine 800 for its manufacture. The assembly 400 has no solder. Components 406, or component packages 402, with I/O leads 412 sit on a planar substrate. The machine 800 encapsulates the components 406 or component packages, with electrically insulating material with vias 420 extending through the substrate to the components' leads 412. Then the machine 800 plates the components' leads and forms traces. Next, the machine 800 covers the plated material with electrically insulating material. Additional vias may extend through the material covering the plated material and in turn be plated and covered. The machine 800 repeats the formation of vias, plating, and coverings of the assembly as desired.

摘要:
Provided is a flexible electronic assembly that uses no solder. Components or component packages are mounted on a flexible substrate. Vias connect through the substrate to the components' leads. Circuits are formed on the opposite side of the substrate interconnecting the component through the vias. The assembly is made flexible by removing encapsulent material between components.

A system for prototyping electrical circuits, as well as creating production circuits, without using solder. Stand-in electrical components 110a are placed on a carrier 100a and scanned 310. From the resulting data, a machine tool or laser ablation system 410 then creates a negative master 420a with aperture(s) 530 into which production components 810 are placed and secured. Component leads 820 or packages are encapsulated with electrically insulating material 910 with vias 1030a exposing the leads. Traces 1040 connect appropriate leads forming a circuit sub-assembly 1000 which can serve as a basis for a circuit assembly formed through a reverse-interconnection process.

A frame 100 containing aperture(s) 102, 103, 104 is positioned on and joined to a permanent substrate 206a or temporary substrate 206b. Electrical component(s) 202, 203, 204 are placed into respective aperture(s) 102, 103, 104 with the leads 504, 1002 of the component(s) 202, 203, 204 positioned on and attached to the permanent substrate 206a or the temporary substrate 206b. Then an encapsulant 402, electrically insulating, but preferably thermally conductive, envelops the component(s) 102, 103, 104. At this point, temporary substrate 206b may be removed exposing component leads 1002. Or, if component(s) 102, 103, 104 are mounted on permanent substrate 206a, vias 502 extend from the surface of substrate 206a to leads 504. With leads 504, 1002 exposed, the completed subassembly 500, 1000 may be incorporated into various forms of reverse-interconnection process (RIP) assemblies as detailed in related applications.
