Abstract:
Bonding pads are formed on a main surface of a semiconductor chip. An insulating layer having openings located on the bonding pads is formed on the main surface of the semiconductor chip. Base metal layers are formed on the bonding pads. A buffer coat film having a portion laid on a periphery of the base metal layer is formed on the insulating layer. Connection layers are formed on the base metal layers. First conductors are formed on the connection layers. A seal resin exposing only top surfaces of the first conductors is formed. Lumpish second conductors are formed on the top surfaces of the first conductor. Thereby, a resin seal semiconductor package can be made compact and it has improved electrical characteristics and high reliability.
Abstract:
In an SIP module of the type wherein memory ICs are mounted to both surfaces of a substrate, the present invention provides a face package type memory module wherein packaging is made in an inclined direction in place of vertical packaging of the prior art technique and only the memory ICs mounted to the upper surface side of the substrate are deviated to the positions closer to the end portion of the substrate in order to drastically reduce the packaging height.
Abstract:
A number of electric operation components such as tone volume controls of an electric musical instrument are collectively carried by a common chassis preferably manufactured by press stamping which is accompanied by one or more printed circuit base blocks and easily incorporated in a front panel of an electric device. Assembly of the front panel construction on the electric device is remarkably simplified with enhanced precision in said position of the electric operation components on the front panel and reduced use of electric lead wires.
Abstract:
An electronic component is provided having mounting leads configured as concentric arcs centered about a desired axis of rotation. The leads may therefore be inserted into a mounting board, and the component rotated to a desired angle with respect to the surface of the mounting board. In some embodiments, one or more of the mounting leads is provided with tabs or other positioning elements to facilitate the positioning of the component at any of a number of selected angles relative to the mounting board.

The inductor is electrically connected to the circuit board.
Abstract:
A chip package includes an optical integrated circuit (such as a hybrid integrated circuit) and an integrated circuit that are proximate to each other in the chip package. The integrated circuit includes electrical circuits, such as memory or a processor, and the optical integrated circuit communicates optical signals with very high bandwidth. Moreover, a front surface of the integrated circuit is electrically coupled to a top surface of an interposer, and this top surface is in turn electrically coupled to a front surface of an input/output (I/O) integrated circuit that faces the top surface. Furthermore, the front surface of the I/O integrated circuit is electrically coupled to a top surface of the optical integrated circuit, where the top surface of the optical integrated circuit faces the front surface of the I/O integrated circuit.
Abstract:
A lead-attached electrical element and a mounting board to which the lead-attached electrical element is mounted both contribute to a reduction in the size of the mounting board as well as facilitate rework. The lead-attached electrical element is constituted from an electrical element and two leads. Each lead includes a main portion which is bonded to a respective electrode face of the electrical element, and a bent portion which is inclined with respect to the main portion. The mounting board is constituted from a PC (printed circuit) board and the lead-attached electrical element. Two conductive lands are provided on a surface of the PC board. The lead-attached electrical element has been inserted into an aperture in the PC board, and bent portions of the leads attached to the electrical element are bonded to the conductive lands so that the electrical element is suspended in the aperture by the leads.
