There is provided a flexible circuit module, including at least one rigid carrier, at least one solid state device mounted over a first side of the at least one rigid carrier, a flexible base supporting a second side of the at least one rigid carrier, a conductive interconnect pattern on the flexible base, and a plurality of feed through electrodes extending from the first side to the second side of the at least one rigid carrier and electrically connecting the conductive interconnect pattern with the at least one of a plurality of the solid state devices. The solid state devices may be LED chips to form an LED array module.

Plastic packaging of LED arrays

One type of electronic interface structure includes a base; at least one elastomeric island supported by the base; and patterned metallization overlying the at least one elastomeric island and including at least one floating pad at least partially overlying the at least one elastomeric island. Another type of electronic interface structure includes a base; a first dielectric layer overlying the base and having at least one first dielectric layer opening therein; a second dielectric layer overlying the first dielectric layer; and patterned metallization overlying the second dielectric layer and including at least one floating pad at least partially overlying the at least one opening.

Electronic interface structures and methods of fabrication

One method for packaging at least one circuit chip includes: providing an interconnect layer including insulative material having a first side and a second side, initial metallization patterned on second side metallized portions of the second side and not on second side non-metallized portions of the second side, at least one substrate via extending from the first side to one of the second side metallized portions, and at least one chip via extending from the first side to one of the second side non-metallized portions; positioning the at least one circuit chip on the second side with at least one chip pad of the at least one circuit chip being aligned with the at least one chip via; and patterning connection metallization on selected portions of the first side of the interconnect layer and in the vias so as to extend to the at least one second side metallized portion and to the at least one chip pad. In related embodiments vias are pre-metallized and coupled to chip pads of the circuit chips by an electrically conductive binder. Thin film passive components and multilayer interconnections can additionally be incorporated into the package.

Circuit chip package and fabrication method

An integrated circuit package includes at least one integrated circuit element coupled to a polymer film; a window frame coupled to the polymer film and surrounding the at least one integrated circuit element; and encapsulant material positioned between the at least one integrated circuit element and the window frame.

Integrated circuit package including window frame

A circuit design is logically partitioned into a plurality of blocks. As a first hierarchial assembly level, the blocks are fabricated as individual submodules each including at least one electronic component with component connection pads on a top surface, and a first interconnect structure including at least one interconnect layer bonded to the top surfaces, and interconnecting selected ones of the component connection pads. Submodule connection pads are provided on upper surfaces of the submodules. As a second hierarchial assembly level, a second interconnect structure is bonded to the upper surfaces and interconnects selected ones of the submodule connection pads.

Multimodule interconnect structure and process

Connection elements which, for example, may be used to facilitate interconnection to and stacking of electronic assemblies or may include an elongated conductive core, such as a wire or a hollow tube structure, coated with a layer of elastomeric material containing conductive particle such that the elastomeric material is conductive at least when compressed. The substrates of multi-chip modules (MCMs) have electrical connection sites in the form of metal-lined channels in the substrate edges, and the connection elements are pressed into the channels. Separate compression or clamping elements may be employed to enhance conductivity, as well as to facilitate external connections. The elongated conductive core may take the form of a hollow tube structure which may be expanded under internal pressure to compress the layer of elastomeric material. The compression elements may take the form of printed circuit boards. In alternative embodiments the connection elements may be clamped between conductive channels of side-by-side substrates or between opposed conductive channels of stacked substrates.

Demountable and repairable low pitch interconnect for stacked multichip

A method for fabricating a circuit module includes applying an outer insulative layer over a first patterned metallization layer on a first surface of a base insulative layer. A second surface of the base insulative layer has a second patterned metallization layer. At least one circuit chip having chip pads is attached to the second surface of the base insulative layer. Respective vias are formed to expose selected portions of the first patterned metallization layer, the second patterned metallization layer, and the chip pads. A patterned outer metallization layer is applied over the outer insulative layer to extend through selected ones of the vias to interconnect selected ones of the chip pads and selected portions of the first and second metallization layers.

Fabrication and structures of circuit modules with flexible interconnect

A nozzle for use with a thick film dispensing system comprising a hollow tubular member having a fluid receiving port at one end and a fluid dispensing orifice at the other end. The hollow tubular member has a means coupled thereto for spacing and maintaining the fluid dispensing orifice a preselected distance away from a substrate surface. The use of this nozzle permits the uniform cross-section dispensing of a viscous thick film fluid on the substrate surface regardless of the curvature thereof.
