A method including: attaching a plurality of conductive tracks to at least one surface of a substrate, depositing a coating comprising at least one halo-hydrocarbon polymer on the at least one surface of the substrate, and soldering through the coating.

A method for manufacturing a circuit-board structure wherein a conductor foil is provided on an insulating material layer, a resist layer is spread on the conductor foil and a recess formed in the conductor foil and insulating material layer. The resist layer is patterned to form a conductor-pattern having openings wherein conductor patterns may be grown. A component is attached to the conductor foil and conductor pattern and conductor material is removed which does not form part of a conductor pattern.

A device includes a first semiconductor chip including a first face, wherein a first contact pad is arranged over the first face. The device further includes a second semiconductor chip including a first face, wherein a first contact pad is arranged over the first face, wherein the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip are arranged such that the first face of the first semiconductor chip faces in a first direction and the first face of the second semiconductor chip faces in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first semiconductor chip is located laterally outside of an outline of the second semiconductor chip.

An electrode connection structure includes: a first electrode of an electrical circuit; and a second electrode of the electrical circuit that is electrically connected to the first electrode. The first and second electrodes are oppositely disposed in direct or indirect contact with each other. A plated lamination is substantially uniformly formed by plating process from a surface of a contact region and opposed surfaces of the first and second electrodes. A void near the surface of the contact region is filled by formation of the plated lamination. Portions of the plated lamination formed from the opposed surfaces of the first and second electrodes in a region other than the contact region are not joined together.

The present publication discloses a method for manufacturing a circuit-board structure. In the method, a conductor layer is made, which comprises a conductor foil and a conductor pattern on the surface of the conductor foil. A component is attached to the conductor layer and the conductor layer is thinned, in such a way that the conductor material of the conductor layer is removed from outside the conductor pattern.

A thermal interface sheet includes a peripheral portion, in a surface direction, configured to have a melting point higher than the melting point of a central portion in the surface direction.

Methods of fabricating semiconductor structures include implanting atom species into a carrier die or wafer to form a weakened region within the carrier die or wafer, and bonding the carrier die or wafer to a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure may be processed while using the carrier die or wafer to handle the semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure may be bonded to another semiconductor structure, and the carrier die or wafer may be divided along the weakened region therein. Bonded semiconductor structures are fabricated using such methods.
