Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the results of measurements illustrating influence of the area of a thermal pad and the kind of the used base on thermal and optical parameters of LED modules. Design/methodology/approach LED modules including six power LEDs are designed. In the layout of these modules, different areas of a thermal pad of each LED are used. These modules are made using the classical FR-4 base and metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB). Thermal and optical parameters of all the tested modules are measured using the method elaborated by the authors. Findings The obtained results of measurements prove that increasing the area of a thermal pad causes a decrease in thermal resistance of the tested LED modules and an increase in power density of the emitted light. The role of the area of a thermal pad is more important for the classical FR-4 base than for MCPCB. Research limitations/implications Investigations were performed for only two values of the area of thermal pads and selected values of LEDs forward current. Originality/value The presented results of investigations show how the used layout and type of the used base of these modules influence optical and thermal parameters of LED modules. Changing the base of a module can cause even a double decrease in thermal resistance and a double increase in power density of the emitted light.

Scientific Base

AbstractA brief description of a set of processes and materials to make printed circuit panels will be given. Then we will discuss the multi-disciplines required for forming a scientific base and provide examples where the fundamentalist and often times specialist is providing the scientific data needed by the packaging engineer. Control techniques, characterization or otherwise basic information helpful in decision making is provided to the development and production groups. Specifically, the state of resin cure at critical steps in the process is used to demonstrate the inter-relation between cure, flow, and mechanical properties in affecting printed circuit board integrity. Finally, the complex role of moisture solubility and diffusion from the process environment in perturbing the chemical and mechanical state is discussed.

And Performance

The effect of the Au coated printed circuit board (PCB) as a current collector on the performance of fuel cells is demonstrated. In this study, optimized pulse electroplating was introduced, which was found to be much more effective compared to the direct current (DC) plating for the PCB fabrication based on the passive area from the potentiodynamic polarization scan. Variable electrochemical parameters such as applied potential and frequency for the pulse electroplating method are controlled. Using the polarization tests, the corrosion behavior of the Au coated PCB layer was also observed. From these basic data, the coating methods and electrochemical parameters were systematically controlled to achieve efficient results for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The stability test for the cell operation indicates that the micro DMFC with the Au coated PCB substrate formed at a frequency of 10 Hz exhibited the highest stability and performance. As a result, the Au coated PCB substrate using pulse electroplating at 1.5 V and 1 kHz can be a promising current collector for portable DMFCs.

Electroplating Process

Blind-via plays a crucial role in interlayer interconnection of printed circuit board. To get the blind via metallized a direct electroplating process has been put forward by the way of a inducing CO2 laser beam irradiating the copper in the bottom of blind via. The method for direct electroplating of copper onto a non-copper platable layer has been investigated in blind via metalization. The regression analysis was used to discuss the laser beam energy in different parameters. The results of electroplated blind via showed that the copper in the bottom of blind via can be induced by CO2 laser, and the induced copper particles ejected to the hole wall plays a role of the conductive film layer that mainly composed of copper by electroless plating or carbon black conductive film during electroplating, plasma used in cleaning blind via can promote the sorption of induced copper particles onto the via wall.
