According to the high accuracy of semiconductor equipments, PCB substrate with much thin thickness is required. However, it is very difficult to sustain the PCB substrate without deformation in case of horizontal installation, due to low bending stiffness. In this research, new PCB process equipment with vertical installation has been developed in order to solve the problem of PCB substrate damage during etching process. As the main parts of etching system on PCB substrate, PCB substrate and JIG are analyzed through finite element method and experimental test. Through the analysis results of stress state, we could find the optimal JIG design to make the damage as low as possible.

In this paper, warpage analysis that separates PCB for PoP (Package on Package) into unit and substrate using FEM (Finite Element Method), analysis of the effect of layer thickness on warpage, and SN (Signal-to-Noise) ratio by Taguchi method was carried. According to the analysis result, the contribution of the circuit layer on warpage was very high in the unit PCB, and the contribution of the outer layer was particularly high. On the other hand, the substrate PCB had a high influence of the circuit layer on warpage, but it was relatively low compared to the unit PCB, and the influence of the solder resist was rather increased. Therefore, considering the unit PCB and the substrate PCB at the same time, it is desirable to design the PCB for PoP layer-by-layer structure so that the outer and inner circuit layers are thick, the top solder resist is thin, and the thickness of the bottom solder resist is between 5 ㎛ and 25 ㎛.

This paper describes a development of a new $1.4{\times}1.1$ and $2.0{\times}1.4mm$ RF SAW filters made by PCB substrate instead of HTCC package, and this technology can reduce the cost of materials down to 40%. We have investigated the multi-layered PCB substrate structures and raw materials to find out the optimal flip-bonding condition between the $LiTaO_3$ wafer and PCB substrates. Also the optimal materials and processing conditions of epoxy laminating film were found out through the experiments which can reduce the bending moment caused by the difference of the thermal expansion between the PCB substrate and laminating film. The new PCB SAW filter shows good electrical and reliability performances with respect to the present SAW filters.

The permittivity profile of PCB substrate in a wide bandwidth is obtained by applying the moment method to the reflection coefficients measured by an open-ended coaxial probe. In this paper, the relation between a reflection coefficients and the corresponding permittivity is expressed into an integral form and the reflection coefficient of PCB substrates with different thickness are calculated using the dispersive FDTD method. The simulation results assure the validity of our conversion procedure within $2.015\%$ error.

In this paper, we described extraction method of electrical parameters and modeling method of PCB nets on PCB design process. To analyze electrical characteristics of real PCB structure, we selected a cache memory system as an experimental board and designed 6 layer PCB substrate. For extraction of the electrical parameters, we divided circuit elements into the components of conductor types which are wires, via holes, BGA balls etc. and combined the calculated value by real net structure to modeling the PCB nets. We analyzed the electrical characteristics of the PCB nets with the simulation tools of SPICE and XNS. The simulation analysis has shown that the maximum signal delay was 2.6ns and the maximum crosstalk noise was 281 mV and we found that the designed substrate was adequate to system specification.

Recently micromachining using DPSSL(Diode Pumped Solid State Laser) with 3rd harmonic wavelength is actively studied in laser machining area. Micromachining using DPSSL have outstanding advantages as UV source comparing with excimer laser in various aspect such a maintenance cost, maskless machining, high repetition rate and so on. In this study micro-drilling of PCB type substrate which consists of Cu-PI-Cu layer was performed using DPSS Nd:YAG laser(355nm, wavelength) in vector scanning method. Experimental and numerical method(Matlab simulation, FEM) are used to optimize process parameter and control machining depth. The man mechanism of this process is laser ablation. It is known that there is large gap between energy threshold of copper and that of PI. Matlab simulation considering energy threshold of material is performed to effect of duplication of pulse and FEM thermal analysis is used to predict the ablation depth of copper. This study could be widely used in various laser micromachining including via hole microdrilling of PCB, and micromachining of semiconductor components, medical parts and printer nozzle and so on.

This paper describes the development of a new $5.0{\times}3.2mm$ SAW filter bank which is consist of 12 L, C matching components and 4 SAW bare chips on PCB substrate with CSP technology. We improved the manufacturing cost by removing the ceramic package through direct flip bonding of $LiTaO_3$ SAW bare chip on PCB board after mounting L, C passive element on PCB board. After that we realized the hermitic sealing by laminating the epoxy film. To confirm the confidentiality and durability of the above method, we have obtained the optimum flip bonding & film laminating condition, and figured out material property and structure to secure the durability & moisture proof of PCB board. The newly developed super mini $5.0{\times}3.2mm$ filter bank shows the superior features than those of existing products in confidence, electrical, mechanical characters.

This paper investgated on fabrication process and tolerance of resistance body with a uniform thickness formed by the process of cavity type on organic substrate for application of embedded resistor. To improve the tolerance of resistance value according to a position of PCB cause by conventional screen printing, we introduced the process of cavity type from organic substrate. A resistor with a desired shape and volume was precisely formed by the process of cavity using a resistor paste and screen printing. This method can increase PCB's productivity by shortening its production time because process conditions of a screen prining device can be set quickly without any affection on its position accuracy.

To construct its complex permittivity from the reflection coefficient of a thin film such as PCB substrate measured by open-ended coaxial probe, an integral equation is formulated using modal analysis and equivalent source. The accuracy of the conversion model based on the integral equation is confirmed in both cases of converted complex permittivities calculated from numerically computed and actually measured reflection coefficients. And the maximum valid frequency of open-ended coaxial probe is limited by the size of its flange.
