A variety of footed and leadless semiconductor packages, with either exposed or isolated die pads, are described. Some of the packages have leads with highly coplanar feet that protrude from a plastic body, facilitating mounting the packages on printed circuit boards using wave-soldering techniques.

The present invention comprises an apparatus for manufacturing electronics without PCBs.

The disclosure provides a detection device, a detection method, and a recording medium. The detection device includes: an acquisition unit for acquiring the temperature of a solder in a solder bath; a measurement unit for measuring the melting point of the solder from a temporal change in temperature in at least one of a temperature increasing process and a temperature decreasing process; and a detection unit for detecting variation in the copper concentration of the solder on the basis of variation in the melting point.

There is provided a printed circuit board in which an amount of molten solder adhering over electrodes adjacent to each other is increased in flow soldering. The printed circuit board according to the present invention includes: a first insulating substrate (6) having a mounting hole (15) that penetrates through the first insulating substrate (6) from a first surface (6a) to a second surface (6b); a second insulating substrate (18) including a connection portion (23a) that penetrates through the mounting hole (15) from the first surface (6a) side and protrudes from the second surface (6b); first electrodes (7 and 9) that are provided on the second surface (6b) and are arranged at an edge of the mounting hole (15); and second electrodes (19 and 25) provided on the connection portion (23a). The first electrodes (7 and 9) and the second electrodes (19 and 25) are joined by solder. The printed circuit board further includes a coating film (31) that is disposed at least on a front end side of the connection portion (23a) than a portion where the second electrodes (19 and 25) are joined to the first electrodes (7 and 9) by the solder.

A method for circuit fabrication includes defining a solder bump, including a specified solder material and having a specified bump volume, to be formed at a target location on an acceptor substrate. A transparent donor substrate, having a donor film including the specified solder material, is positioned such that the donor film is in proximity to the target location on the acceptor substrate. A sequence of pulses of laser radiation is directed to pass through the first surface of the donor substrate and impinge on the donor film so as to induce ejection from the donor film onto the target location on the acceptor substrate of a number of molten droplets of the solder material such that the droplets deposited at the target location cumulatively reach the specified bump volume. The target location is heated so the deposited droplets melt and reflow to form the solder bump.

A set of features for a product is identified. It is determined that preventing an electrical connection at a ball-grid-array location on a ball-grid-array assembly of the product would result in the set of features. The ball-grid-array location is established as a target BGA location based on that determination. Suction is applied to a via at the target BGA location during reflow of the ball-grid-array assembly. With that application of suction, a solder ball at the target BGA location is drawn into the via.

An electronic device including a first conductive element, a second conductive element, a substrate, and a conductor is provided. The first conductive element has a first region. The substrate has a through hole. The first through hole is disposed between the first conductive element and the second conductive element. The conductor electrically connects the first conductive element to the second conductive element through the through hole. The through hole is partially surrounded by the first region.

A soldering structure configured for preventing solder overflow during soldering and a power module, may include a component to be soldered; and a metal layer having a bonding area, to which the component to be soldered is bonded by solder, and a groove portion formed around the bonding area.

A component carrier which includes a stack having at least one electrically conductive layer structure and at least one electrically insulating layer structure, and electrically conductive wiring structures being part of the at least one electrically conductive layer structure, wherein a value of the passive intermodulation for signals propagating along the electrically conductive wiring structures is less than −153 dBc.

A jet solder bath for performing soldering by jetting molten solder to bring the molten solder into contact with a substrate is provided with a primary jet nozzle that jets the molten solder by a first jet pump, as a first jet nozzle, and a secondary jet nozzle, as a second jet nozzle, which is arranged at a downstream side of the primary jet nozzle along a carrying direction of the substrate and jets the molten solder by a second jet pump. The primary jet nozzle includes a first nozzle body, and a first solder-flow-forming plate that is provided at an upper end of the first nozzle body and has a plurality of jet holes, and the secondary jet nozzle includes a second nozzle body and a second solder-flow-forming plate that is provided at an upper end of the second nozzle body and has a plurality of jet holes.
