Abstract

A specially designed substrate, with holes linking the front and back faces, enables processing by thick film, thin film or other deposition method to be carried out while chips are still in a matrix array. The processed chip is then provided with end terminations often arranged so that conductors can be bridged on the main assembly element, to economise on space, and be tested and adjusted while in the matrix. The invention may be applied to chip resistors, inductors or other components. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Electronic chip components A novel manufacturing method Currently chip electronic components especially chip resistors that require manufacture involving a base material such as ceramic and also a full wrap around end termination, start through processing as a matrix array. To produce full termination, however, separation has to take place and the individual chips are then difficult to handle through the following stages of end termination, adjustment and test.
The basis of this application is a specially designed substrate where all processing may be carried out while the chips are still in the array, the second part of the claim being the process method for producing the end termination.
Description ofthe basic design. (See Figure 1).
The base material is divided into the usual matrix of individual chip areas but instead of a means being designed in for snapping or otherwise separating prior to application of the end termination, holes are made linking the front and back face of the base material along the lines between each chip.
These holes may be circular or rectangular in shape but have the following advantages for a particular application.
If a rectangular hole is placed alongside the component element, for example with a chip resistor, the resistive material, microcracking will not occur in the base material adjacent to it and thus stability will be improved.
A similar rectangular hole may be placed along the termination or conductor edge which will be ideal for chip components to be mounted on rigid thermally compatible material, however, with the main application of chip components likely to be on non rigid thermally incompatible material the provision of one or several round holes along the termination edge linked by a snap line had the advantage of increasing the resitance to mechanical stress of the solder or alternative joint between the chip and the main carrier thus improving stability.
Processing of the base To describe this the particular example of chip resistor is chosen but it would equally apply to the manufacture of inductors, transformers, capacitors and similar components or for any application where it is desirable to produce many identical components as an array. Note that in the case of inductive elements a central hole may be placed in the chip to allow passage for core. Coils may be manufactured by any process such as thick film printing, thin film deposition pr simple enamelled copper wire turns attached to the upper face of the base material.
Processing by thick film technology The following steps may be interchanged or even omitted as desired.
1) Print back face termination pattern including conductive material through termination hole. Dry and fire.
2) Invert base.
3) Print front face termination pattern including conductive material through termination hole. Dry and fire.
4) Print resistor material. Dry and fire.
5) Adjust to required value.
6) Test.
7) Separate.
Proces by thin film techniques Again the steps are interchangable and may be omitted or added as desired.
1) Diffuse on back termination pattern and include diffusion into termination edge hole(s).
2) Diffuse on front termination pattern and include diffusion into termination hole(s).
3) Diffuse on resistor pattern.
4) Adjust value.
Other alternative process Similar procedures may be adopted when other material application methods are used, additive or substrative in nature. Pattern generation being similarly by mask, screen or resist coating.
1. A method of manufacturing electronic chip components whereby the termination may be end, edge or face. Connection may be achieved between the top and bottom faces whilst the conductor material is deposited on those faces when producing an end or edge termination.
2. A method whereby adjustment and testing of the conduction patterns are enabled by the conduction pattern layouts whilst in the matrix form.
3. A method whereby bridging of conductors on a main circuit element, to which the chip may be attached, can be achieved by the chip component, and hence simplify the main element conduction pattern.
4. A method of ensuring high accuracy registration of a multiplicity of components during processing.
5. A process for the manufacture of electronic chip components embodying any, or all, of the foregoing claims.
6. A method of testing a multiplicity of chip components.
7. A method of processing a multiplicity of chip components.
8. A method of marking a multiplicity of chip components.
