Akihiro Hamano has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7023084
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high heat dissipation plastic package and a method for making the same that provides an inexpensive, thin high heat dissipation plastic package with good bonding precision and minimal bleeding of adhesive resin. A Cu foil resin film is formed by bonding an adhesive resin to a Cu foil and pre-forming, at an essentially central position, a cut-out for a cavity used to mount a semiconductor element. The Cu foil resin film is bonded using the adhesive resin directly to a heat dissipation plate. A conductor wiring pattern is formed on the Cu foil resin film. Furthermore, the heat dissipation plate includes a stopping section used to prevent resin from bleeding onto a cavity when bonding with the adhesive resin of the Cu foil resin film.

  • Patent number: 6861747
    Abstract: (1) A thermal enhanced type of BGA package, in which a metal heat sink is joined to one side of a plastic circuit board which has a cutout space in the central portion, comprised of a clamping member joining the plastic circuit board and the heat sink. A caulking member, a rivet, a screw, an eyelet, or a tubular rivet could be used as the clamping member. It is preferable that a dam member is definitely attached by the clamping member. (2) Another thermal enhanced type of BGA package, in which a circuit pattern is provided in the plastic circuit board and the heat sink and/or the dam member are electrically connected to a part of the circuit pattern through the clamping member. It is preferable to use the clamping member coated by solder.

  • Publication number: 20040040856
    Abstract: The method for making plastic packages of the present invention includes: forming an electroless Cu plating film on a resin substrate after removing a Cu foil; disposing a first plating resist pattern thereupon, passing electricity through the electroless Cu plating film, and disposing an electrolytic Cu plating film where the pattern is absent; disposing a second plating resist pattern to form a circuit pattern, and disposing a Ni and Au plating film; removing the plating resist pattern and etching away the Ni and Au plating film and the electroless Cu plating film not covered by the electrolytic Cu plating film; and disposing a solder resist film with openings to expose an external terminal connection pad and a semiconductor element connection pad. This method provides superior bonding properties with a solder resist, reduces undercutting during etching, allows use of high-density circuits, provides high reliability, and improves yield.
