Title: The Innovations of Thomas J Ameen: A Pioneer in Copper Engineering
Introduction
Thomas J Ameen, based in Mentor, Ohio, is a notable inventor with an impressive portfolio of 15 patents. His work primarily focuses on advancements in materials engineering, particularly regarding innovative copper applications that have significantly impacted the field of printed circuit boards.
Latest Patents
Ameen's latest inventions include a revolutionary method for making a copper on INVAR® composite. This composite is designed for multi-layer printed circuit boards and features an INVAR® sheet with a thickness ranging from 0.5 mil to 5 mil, layered with electrodeposited copper of 1µ to 50µ thickness. The thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE) of this composite has been meticulously engineered to approximately 2.8 to 6.0 parts per million (ppm) within a temperature range of 0°F to 200°F.
Additionally, he has developed a treated copper foil that consists of a copper base with a layer of zinc oxide adhered to at least one side. This layer measures about 3 Å to 80 Å in thickness, with a trivalent chromium oxide layer on top. In an innovative embodiment, a silane coupling agent is applied to the chromium oxide layer. This invention extends to the processes for applying these layers to copper foil and the creation of laminates composed of a dielectric substrate adhered to the treated copper foil, where the substrate is constructed from epoxy resins using curing agents other than amines.
