Description

具有凸起部分的存储卡
本申请案是在2003年7月17日申请的题为“Peripheral Card with Hidden Test Pins”的美国专利申请案第10/621,882号的接续申请案,其全文以引用的方式并入本文中。

技术领域
本发明针对用于外设卡的技术。
背景技术
存储卡是提供数据存储的相对较小的可移除卡。在多数情况下,但不要求在所有情况下,所述存储卡是基于集成电路的。这些存储卡插入电子装置上的端口或连接器中或由其接收,所述电子装置包括计算装置、照相机、手机、PDA和其它装置。存储卡的一个实例使用非易失性存储器。电可擦除可编程只读存储器(EEPROM)和闪存是最普及的非易失性半导体存储器之一。存储卡的一些实例包括CompactFlashTM、MMCTM、智能媒体(Smart Media)、Secure DigitalTM和存储棒(Memory Stick)。
一闪存卡是一具有一个或一个以上闪存单元阵列的存储卡。一些闪存卡还包括位线解码器、字线解码器、一状态机、一控制器和其它电路。在许多情况下,所述控制器会实施于第一半导体晶元中,而所述闪存单元阵列、位线解码器、字线解码器和状态机实施于第二半导体晶元中。随着时间的过去,通过缩小个别存储器单元的尺寸且通过在所述阵列中实施更大数目的存储器单元,闪存阵列的密度增加。
为维持产品可靠性和客户满意度,存储卡的制造商会在制造过程中测试存储卡以判定是否存在任何制造缺陷。在许多情况下,存储卡上的用户I/O插脚连接到控制器。然而,在制造过程中执行的测试通常设法直接访问存储器阵列(绕过控制器)以测试存储器阵列中的每个单元。另外,较多的插脚会允许存储卡的相关组件的更有效和完整的测试。因此,除用户I/O插脚之外,许多存储卡会包括测试插脚。为保护存储卡免于相对于测试插脚的静电放电且为保护卡上的数据免于经由测试插脚被错误地访问,测试插脚在制造过程之后不应暴露于存储卡的用户。
存储卡的一个实例描述于美国专利第6,410,355号(′355专利”)中,其全文以引用的方式并入本文中。在′355专利中,使用闪存的存储卡制造有在存储卡的一个边缘处的一组测试插脚。在测试存储卡之后,从存储卡切掉测试插脚且接着封装存储卡。虽然′355专利的装置运作顺利,但存在改进的需要。首先,切掉的测试插脚使用电路板上的基板面(real estate)。存在一种增加电路板上的密度的趋势;因此,不将电路板的一部分用于不会转到客户的组件是有利的。其次,如果存储卡在使用中发生故障,那么没有测试插脚可以测试装置来判定存储卡为何发生故障。在装置发生故障后的这种测试允许存储卡的制造商改进装置可靠性和制造过程。
使用闪存的存储卡的另一实例是最近发布的迷你SD卡(Mini-SD Card)。在迷你SD卡的一个商业版中,存储器阵列安装在电路板的顶部上且控制器安装在存储阵列上。用户I/O插脚和测试插脚形成于电路板的底部上。在测试存储卡后,电路板(具有控制器、存储器阵列和其它组件)通过将一顶部盖罩附着到一底部盖罩而封闭。底部盖罩和顶部盖罩均由由硬塑料制成,且在封闭电路板之前由模具制造。在制成顶部盖罩和底部盖罩后,顶部盖罩超声波地焊接到底部盖罩以封闭电路板(具有控制器、存储器阵列和其它组件)。底部盖罩具有一用于用户I/O插脚的开口。底部盖罩不具有用于测试插脚的开口;因此,测试插脚不暴露于用户。在底部盖罩与电路板的底部之间会存在一个小的气隙。虽然此设计运作顺利,但是顶部盖罩和底部盖罩的制造相对较昂贵。另外,所述盖罩相对较庞大,其限制了可以制造多小的存储卡。工业中的趋势是进一步减小存储卡的尺寸。
因此,需要提供不具有上文所述的限制的用于存储卡的测试插脚。类似问题存在于其它类型的外设卡,例如,实施无线通信装置、GPS装置、蜂窝装置、网络接口、调制解调器、磁盘存储系统和其它装置的外设卡。
发明内容
粗略而言,本发明适合于具有隐藏测试插脚的外设卡的技术。本发明的一个实施例包括一电路板、所述电路板上的电路元件、与所述电路元件的至少一子集形成连通的电路板上的一组用户端子、与一个或一个以上所述电路元件形成连通的所述电路板上的一组测试端子、一覆盖所述电路板的一部分而不覆盖所述组用户端子和所述组测试端子的包裹体和一覆盖所述测试端子并防止对所述测试端子的访问的电路板的一第一表面上的保形接触涂层。
制造这种外设卡的一个实施例包括将电路元件添加到一电路板,其中所述电路板(在某时间点上)包括一组测试端子。使用所述测试端子测试一个或一个以上所述电路元件。随后以一保形接触涂层覆盖测试端子以防止对测试端子的访问。在一个实施中,通过将液体直接施加到电路板的一第一表面而以一保形接触涂层覆盖测试端子。在另一实施中,通过将一薄膜直接施加到所述电路板的一第一表面而以一保形接触涂层覆盖测试端子。
本发明的一些实施例会包括每次制造一批外设卡,接着将所述批单一化为个别化的存储卡。本发明允许在单一化前或后覆盖测试插脚。举例来说,一个实施包括步骤将电路元件添加到一带复数个电路板(所述复数个电路板的每一个均包括一组测试端子);将所述连接的电路板分离;使用所述测试端子测试电路板的电路元件且将一保形接触涂层施加到每个电路板的一第一表面上。所述保形接触涂层覆盖测试端子并防止对测试端子的访问,使得一特定电路板使其测试端子在所述特定电路板已测试之后被覆盖。
本发明可以应用于制造存储卡,包括闪存卡。本文所揭示的技术还可应用于其它外设卡。举例来说,本发明可用于包括无线通信装置、GPS装置、蜂窝装置、网络接口、调制解调器、磁盘存储系统和其它装置的可移除外设卡。本发明并不局限于任何一种类型的外设卡且意味着可用于与许多不同类型的外设卡。
本发明的这些和其它目标与优势从以下描述中会变得更明显,在以下描述中本发明的优选实施例已经结合附图得以陈述。

在一个实施中,存储卡的宽度为12mm且长度为15mm。倾斜部分(angled portion)呈45度角。存储卡的厚度在第二部分24处为0.9mm,在凸起部分18处为1.0mm且在第一部分22处为0.8mm。在另一实施例中,存储卡的厚度在第二部分24处为0.8mm,在凸起部分18处为1.0mm且在第一部分22为0.7mm。在其它实施例中,还可使用其它尺寸。
在一个实施例中,可将一标签放置在顶表面上。此标签可以是一张贴物或可以是转印(pad printed)的墨。
图4是根据本发明的第二实施例的存储卡的顶部的透视图。第二实施例包括一具有一直线轮廓的凸起部分18a。图5是根据本发明的第三实施例的存储卡的顶部的透视图,所述第三实施例不包括一凸起部分18。
图6是根据本发明的第四实施例的存储卡的顶部的透视图。图7是根据本发明的第四实施例的存储卡的底部的透视图。第四实施例包括缺口30。所述缺口用于保证所述卡在连接到主机装置时处于适当的位置。
图8是根据本发明的第五实施例的存储卡的顶部的透视图。图9是根据本发明的第五实施例的存储卡的底部的透视图。图10是根据本发明的第五实施例的存储卡的侧视图。本发明的第五实施例实施与上文所述的其它实施例不同的定向。举例来说,第五实施例中的存储卡的顶表面包括一邻近背边缘52的凸起部分54,其与存储卡的宽度相对沿长度延伸。第五实施例的存储卡包括一正表面50,其也沿存储卡的长度延伸。存储卡的底表面包括一第一部分54和第二部分56。第一部分54包括一组用户I/O插脚58且对应于电路板的底表面,如下文所论述。第二部分56从第一部分54凸起。
图11提供用于本发明的各种实施例的电路板的俯视图。图11显示电路板200。安装在电路板200上的是第一晶元202和第二晶元204。在一个实施例中,晶元202包括一具有相关电路的闪存阵列,且晶元204包括一控制器。在一些实施例中,存储卡可包括一个以上的存储器阵列。在包括一外设卡(peripheral card)而不是一存储卡的实施例中,所述晶元可以为不是存储器阵列和控制器的组件或除存储器阵列和控制器之外的组件。注意,晶元202包括触点212(例如,晶元接合焊接点),其用于将晶元202连接到其它组件。类似地,晶元204包括触点214(例如,晶元接合焊接点)以将晶元204连接到其它组件。电路板200还包括无源组件220,所述无源组件200可包括电容器和/或电阻器。电路板200包括许多导电迹线(未图示),其使安装在电路板上的装置互连。连接区域(未描绘)提供于电路板上,使得来自晶元的引线可以通过常规引线接合法连接到电路板。在其它实施例中,可以使用不同于引线接合法的其它方法将晶元连接到电路板。
图12显示电路板200的底部。在一个实施例中,电路板200的底部包括用户I/O插脚230和测试插脚232。图12描绘八个用户I/O插脚230和十六个测试插脚232;然而,还可以使用不同数目的插脚。测试插脚232可以包括数据插脚(data pin)和/或电源插脚(power pin)。测试插脚用于测试存储卡的一个或一个以上组件。举例来说,测试插脚可用于测试存储器阵列的每一个单元。用户I/O插脚230由一连接到存储卡的主机装置使用以与存储卡形成连通。举例来说,用户I/O插脚230可用于与晶元204上的控制器形成连通。注意,为了具有一较小的封装,本发明的一个实施例包括将集成电路安装在电路板的一第一表面上(例如顶表面)且将端子(用户I/O插脚和测试插脚)形成在电路板的另一表面(例如底表面)上的导电层上。
图13显示电路板200的横截面图。图13显示五个层:260、262、264、266和268。其它实施例具有少于五个或多于五个的层。层260(中间层)是一绝缘核心层。层262和264是路由层,其包括导电金属迹线。层266和268包括焊料掩膜。层(例如层262和264)之间的连接可由导电通路完成。在一个实施例中,电路板是印刷电路板。在另一实施例中,电路板是引线框。在本发明精神内还可以使用其它类型的电路板。
图14-16以图形描绘了用于形成根据本发明的一个实施例的存储卡的制造过程。图14是在包封之前、在制造过程中的存储卡的侧视图。图14描绘了电路板200。安装在电路板200上的是晶元202。安装在晶元202上的晶元204。图14显示引线接合到电路板200上的晶元202和晶元204。图14还显示无源装置220,其可以是电容器和/或电阻器。在一个实施例中,通过使用一粘合材料将晶元202安装在电路板200上。所述粘合材料可以是环氧粘合剂、软焊料或任何其它粘合材料,以用于将用于将一晶元安装到一基底上。晶元204通过施加到晶元202的顶表面和晶元204的底表面上的粘合材料而安装到晶元202上。关于将两个晶元彼此上下堆叠的更多信息可见于美国专利第5,502,289号中,其全文以引用的方式并入本文中。在一个实施例中,所述无源装置为使用焊料而表面安装的。
图15显示在包封之后的图14的存储卡。即,使用一注模法(injection mold process)或一压铸模法(transfer mold process),模塑材料280用于包封存储卡的组件。注意,所述包封覆盖电路板200的侧表面、正表面、背表面和顶表面。所述包封还覆盖安装在电路板200的顶表面上的所有组件。所述包封不覆盖包括用户I/O插脚230和测试插脚232的电路板200的底表面。
在包封之后,将一保形接触涂层(conformal contact coating)290施加到电路板200的底表面的一部分以覆盖测试插脚232。所述保形接触涂层不覆盖用户I/O插脚230。图16描绘已经施加保形接触涂层290后的存储卡。举例来说,将保形接触涂层290施加到存储卡的底表面的部分24(见图1),但不施加到存储卡的部分22。保形接触涂层通过阻塞测试插脚来保护测试插脚免于静电放电且保护存储器中的数据免于经由测试插脚的不希望的访问。所述涂层是一保形接触涂层,因为其符合其要施加到的表面的形状且其直接接触所述表面。一些其它存储卡可使用一盖罩覆盖电路板的底部。所述盖罩不与电路板的底表面接触。更确切地,一气隙会存在于底部盖罩与电路板之间。另外,因为所述盖罩是预制的,所以其会不符合电路板的底部的底表面的形状。
在一个实施例中,保形接触涂层的施加包括将一液体直接施加到电路板的底表面。接着所述涂层干燥为一固体。在另一实施例中,涂层作为一薄膜直接施加到电路板的底表面。涂层的实例包括光致抗蚀剂、焊料掩膜、环氧树脂、热塑性材料和聚酰亚胺。合适的涂层的一个特定实例是来自Taiyo America公司www.taiyo-america.com的PSR-400焊料掩膜。薄膜的实例包括具有粘合剂的聚酯薄膜(mylar)或具有粘合剂的聚酰亚胺。合适的聚酰亚胺的一实例是由DuPont生产的Kapton。如何施加一液态涂层的一个实例是使用丝网印刷法。
图17是描绘一用于制造根据本发明的存储卡的过程的一个实施例的流程图。在步骤400中,在电路板中钻出数个通路。在步骤402中,将顶部图案施加到电路板200以添加上文所论述的导电迹线和连接区域。在步骤404中,将底部图案施加到电路板200的底表面以添加用户I/O插脚230、232测试插脚和导电迹线。在步骤406中,将焊料掩膜添加到电路板200的顶表面。在步骤408中,将焊料掩膜添加到电路板200的底表面。在步骤410中,将第一晶元202安装到电路板200。在步骤412中,将第二晶元204安装到电路板200。在步骤414中,将无源装置202安装到电路板200。在步骤416中,添加引线接合以将晶元202和204连接到电路板200。在一个实施例中,将保护涂层施加到所述引线接合和/或所述晶元。在步骤418中,电路板200和安装到电路板200上的组件经历一压铸模过程,使得电路板和其组件被包封,如上文所述。然而,步骤418的包封过程不覆盖电路板200的底表面。
在一个实施例中,将存储卡制造为一单一结构。在所述情况下,跳过步骤420且图17的过程进入步骤422。然而,在其它实施例中,每次生产一批存储卡。即,一次生产一存储卡带且接着执行单一化过程以将所述带切割成个别化的存储卡。在存储卡每次生产一批的情况下,步骤420包括对所述带进行切割以将各种存储卡分离。步骤420称为单一化。
在步骤422中,对存储卡进行测试。在步骤424中,如上文所述,通过将保形接触涂层施加到电路板200的底表面的一部分(例如图1的底部部分24)而覆盖测试插脚。
步骤422包括测试存储卡。在制造过程中,制造商可以执行存储卡的老化测试以检验存储器阵列中的每一个存储器单元是否起作用。接着制造商可以规划存储卡以避免不良存储器单元。举例来说,存储器阵列可以包括存储器的一部分,其将不良存储器单元和指示器的地址存储到替换存储器单元。在一些实施例中,还可测试存储卡的其它组件。注意,图17显示装置被测试且在单一化之后接收保形接触涂层。在另一实施例中,步骤420在步骤422后执行;因此,各种装置被测试且在单一化之前接收保形接触涂层。
图18是在单一化之前的一存储卡带的平面图。图18显示了带500。在带500的顶部上的是存储卡的各种实例。每个存储卡均以虚线描绘。在一个实施例中,带500包括100个存储卡(宽5,长20)。注意,还可以在一带上制造其它数目的存储卡。通过对带上的每一个存储卡同时执行步骤400-418而制造带500。即,所述步骤作为一个整体在所述带上执行。通过将所述带切割成单独的装置来执行步骤420。根据本发明的一个方面,存储卡的形状不完全是矩形。因此,将所述带单一化成个别存储卡包括非线性的(例如曲线的)锯切。所述锯切可以一具有高精度和细节的非常薄的锯子有效地执行,使得锯切动作非常精细。锯切装置的实例包括(例如)一水喷射切割装置、一激光切割设备、一水导激光器(water guided laser)、一干式介质切割装置和一金刚石涂覆的引线。由于水喷射切割具有较小切割宽度(例如50微米)、成形较小部件的能力和快速的切割速率,所以其可为优选切割方法。
如果存储卡在使用后发生故障,那么所述发生故障的存储卡可以通过移除保形接触涂层并使用测试插脚测试存储卡来排除故障。
图19是根据本发明的附加实施例的存储卡的顶部的透视图。图20是根据图19的实施例的存储卡的底部的透视图。在图19和图20中描绘的卡600包括圆形缺口602和604、凸起部分606和倾斜部分608。底表面612包括插脚620和部分622。部分622从正表面612凸起并覆盖测试插脚,如本文所述。
图21是根据本发明的附加实施例的存储卡的顶部的透视图。图22是根据图21的实施例的存储卡的底部的透视图。在图21和图22中描绘的卡700包括缺口702、凸起部分706和倾斜部分708。底表面712包括插脚720和部分722。部分722从表面712凸起并覆盖测试插脚,如本文所述。
上文的描述特别论述了存储卡。本发明的一组实施例特别适合于闪存卡,其包括一个或一个以上利用闪存技术的存储器阵列。上文所阐释的适合于存储卡的实施例起示范的目的且并不意味着限制本发明。本文所揭示的技术还可以应用到连接到一计算装置且由所述计算装置控制或操作。可移除外设卡的一个实例是PCMCIA卡。除存储器系统之外,可在外设卡上实施的应用的实例包括无线通信装置、GPS装置、蜂窝装置、网络接口、调制解调器、磁盘存储系统等等。本发明并不局限于任何一种类型的外设卡且意味着可用于许多不同类型的外设卡。
为了说明和描述的目的,已给出本发明的以上详细描述。不希望为详尽的或将本发明限制于所揭示的精确形式。根据上文的教示许多修改和改变是可能的。选择所描述的实施例以最好地阐释本发明的原理和其实际应用,以从而使所属领域中的技术人员能够利用各种实施例中且具有适用于所预期的特定使用的各种修改的本发明。希望本发明的范畴由以上的权利要求书界定。
