US Patent:

40113981, Mar 8, 1977
Filed:

Mar 3, 1975
Appl. No.:

5/554387
Inventors:

Douglas B. Munz - Glenwood IL
William G. Skoda - Oak Park IL
Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:

H05K 108
US Classification:

174 52PE
Abstract:

An electrically conductive terminal having a connecting end and a mating end is affixed to a terminal assembly, the resultant subassembly placed within a housing containing a circuit board. The subassembly is located to effect electrical connection between the connecting end of the terminal and a pad on the circuit board, and to position the mating end externally to the volume to be potted. Connection between the terminal and the pad is reinforced by a solder flow technique. A potting material fills the housing encapsulating the circuit board and terminal assembly.

Universal Piezoelectric Crystal Holder

US Patent:

43617786, Nov 30, 1982
Filed:

Nov 28, 1980
Appl. No.:

6/211012
Inventors:

Martin Luff - Glendale Heights IL
William G. Skoda - Oak Park IL
Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:

H01L 4108
US Classification:

310348
Abstract:

A universal crystal holder is provided which is capable of supporting piezoelectric crystals having virtually any size and shape. The crystal holder includes two support structures, each having a downwardly sloping surface for accepting a side of the crystal to be supported. Since crystals placed in the universal crystal holder of the invention are self-aligned, the placement of a crystal in the holder is easily automated.

Glass/Metal Package And Method For Producing The Same

US Patent:

58770429, Mar 2, 1999
Filed:

Aug 28, 1996
Appl. No.:

8/697712
Inventors:

John E. Mattson - Palatine IL
William G. Skoda - Oak Park IL
Piyush Chaudhari - Palatine IL
Joyce K. Yamamoto - Albuquerque NM
Ross A. Miesem - Albuquerque NM
Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:

H01L 2144
US Classification:

438123
Abstract:

A method of producing a glass/metal package where a glass portion of the package is built up around a provided leadframe (10) using applications of solderable and glass pastes (20) which are subsequently fired (30). The glass paste and leadframe are chosen to have similar coefficients of expansion and the leadframe is pretreated to degasify and control oxidation of the metal to promote glass adhesion to the leadframe and prevent microcracking at a glass/metal interface. A seal ring is applied to the glass paste (40) and a lid is attached to the seal ring (50). The package is used to provide an sealed inert internal environment for sensitive electronic components such as a piezoelectric element. The package may be configured for leaded or surface mounting (60).

Crystal Holder For Different Sizes Of Crystal

US Patent:

42874475, Sep 1, 1981
Filed:

Jan 17, 1980
Appl. No.:

6/112880
Inventors:

William G. Skoda - Oak Park IL
Marlin Luff - Glendale Heights IL
Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:

H01L 4108
US Classification:

310348
Abstract:

A crystal holder is provided which is capable of supporting any one of a plurality of piezoelectric crystals having different preselected diameters. The crystal holder includes two side portions, each portion having a stair step-like structure, the stair steps of one side portion leading upwardly and away from the stair steps of the remaining side portion. Each step of one side portion is respectively horizontally aligned with a corresponding step of the remaining side portion such that each step pair thus formed has a different distance therebetween and is thus capable of accepting for mounting one of a plurality of piezoelectric crystals having preselected diameters corresponding to the distances between the steps of the step pairs.

US Patent:

55680062, Oct 22, 1996
Filed:

Apr 28, 1995
Appl. No.:

8/431169
Inventors:

Marlin Luff - Wheaton IL
William Skoda - Oak Park IL
William Kiscellus - Addison IL
Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:

H01L 41053
US Classification:

310348
Abstract:

A surface mount crystal package (10) receptacle mounting adapted to canti-leverably receive a piezoelectric element. The surface mount crystal package (10) is configured to hermetically enclose a crystal resonator (19) or crystal filter mounted in a proximal base (12) in a cantilever fashion. This package (10) is hermetically sealed in the proximal base 12, a distal cap (14) and sleeve (16). The package (10) is adapted to improve and faciliate surface mounting, provide a low cost and automatable assembly, and provide a low-stress mounting of a piezoelectric element in a simplified and portable design.

Ultra-Thin Surface Mount Crystal Package

US Patent:

52508706, Oct 5, 1993
Filed:

Mar 25, 1992
Appl. No.:

7/857349
Inventors:

Paul F. Fenlon - Elmwood Park IL
Thomas A. Knecht - Crystal Lake IL
Robert S. Witte - Algonquin IL
William G. Skoda - Oak Park IL
R. Victor Thompson - Palatine IL
Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:

H01L 4108
US Classification:

310345
Abstract:

An ultra thin piezoelectric quartz crystal package can be realized by using adhesive dollops to compliantly mount a piezoelectric device within a thin package. The adhesive dollops maintain spacing between the upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric device (18) and the surfaces (13 and 15) of the housing that is comprised of upper and lower substrates (12 and 14).
