Abstract: An optical communication module is fabricated to include a refraction plate made of an inorganic material whose refractive index varies little with temperature. The refraction plate is inserted in the optical path to perform optical axis compensation in a single lens system with long focal length.

Abstract: Disclosed are an optical element holder and an optical communication module. The optical element holder comprises a pedestal having a pair of fixing sections, a pair of holding sections and a stress-suppressing section. The fixing sections are formed in opposing end portions of the pedestal for being welded to a carrier. The holding sections are formed to face the pedestal in an inner position than positions where the fixing sections are formed so as to hold the optical element by pinching it therebetween. The stress-suppressing section prevents a welding stress, which is generated when the fixing sections are welded to the carrier, from affecting the holding sections.

Abstract: In a bonding apparatus having an ultrasonic horn 3 coupled to an ultrasonic vibrator 5 and a bonding tool 4 coupled to the ultrasonic horn 3, and applying ultrasonic bonding to a work 11, by providing an ultrasonic detector 7 and an indicator 8 for displaying an output signal from the ultrasonic detector 7, there is obtained a bonding method that can easily make a good or bad judgment on the bonding state based on the output signal of the ultrasonic detector. With this arrangement, ultrasonic vibration of the bonding tool in the bonding apparatus using ultrasonic waves is constantly monitored, thereby reducing occurrence of bonding failure and making definite the time for replacing the bonding tool.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a semiconductor laser device having: a lead frame; a resin molding provided for sealing a part of said lead frame and including a main body and a flange portion having opposite end faces, said resin molding being formed into such a shape that said flange portion protrudes outwardly from a periphery of said main body; a laser chip having an optical axis and mounted on a surface of said lead frame for emitting laser light; and a heat-radiating fin provided on said lead frame for cooling said laser chip, said heat-radiating fin being disposed in an exposed state on the side of at least one of said two end faces of said flange portion.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device, each of a plurality of leads has a chip mounting portion electrically connected to the semiconductor chip through a bump and a lead main body supporting the chip mounting portion. A lead path from the distal end of the lead main body to the bump is bent in X, Y, and Z directions so that the distal end portion of the lead main body and the chip mounting portion are arranged on different levels when viewed from a side surface. The lead main body and the chip mounting portion substantially make a right angle to form an L shape when viewed from an upper side. The semiconductor chip is connected, through bumps, to upper surfaces of distal end portions of the chip mounting portions of the leads on a plane. A molded body seals constituent elements except a part separated from a connection portion between the lead main body and the chip mounting portion, and incorporates a bent portion of the lead main body.
