Shigeki Hirasawa 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: 5229643
    Abstract: The heat transfer path (the heat radiating portion) from a position very near the semiconductor device as the heat source to the surface of the semiconductor apparatus is made of a material having a large heat conductivity thereby to more rapidly transfer the heat generated in the p-n junction to the surface of the semiconductor apparatus or the outside. This arrangement can cope with that the calorific power is increased as the integration is increased. The formation of the good heat conductive material from the surface of the apparatus to the heat source through the multilayer structure film can be attained by means of the CVD technique.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 1991
    Date of Patent: July 20, 1993
    Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.
    Inventors: Hiroyuki Ohta, Norio Ishitsuka, Akihiro Yaguchi, Sueo Kawai, Nobuo Owada, Shigeki Hirasawa
  • Patent number: 5001327
    Abstract: An apparatus for containing semiconductor wafers and performing heat treatment thereon. Heaters disposed in a high temperature furnace form at least one heating space therein. An insertion and retrieval aperture is disposed at the lower portion of each heating space for allowing passage of wafers therethrough. Each of the heating spaces is adapted to receive one or two wafers and to provide simultaneous and uniform heat treatment on the wafers.

    Inventors: Shigeki Hirasawa, Takuji Torii, Tomoji Watanabe, Toshihiro Komatsu, Kazuo Honma, Akihiko Sakai, Tetsuya Takagaki, Toshiyuki Uchino, Hiroto Nagazomo
  • Patent number: 4694378
    Abstract: A boiling type cooling structure for cooling semiconductor chips mounted on printed circuit cards, with a heat conductive stud being attached to the surface of each chip. Cooling plates with fins, arranged so as to surround the circumference of each heat conductive stud, are placed between the printed circuit cards in order to condense the vapor bubbles produced near the heat conductive studs.

  • Patent number: 4166498
    Abstract: A condensing, a heat-transfer wall for liquefying vapor having a temperature higher than the wall by bringing the vapor in contact therewith. There are provided many parallel grooves in the basic surface of the heat-transfer wall, thereby defining ridge portions or build-up portions thereamong. These ridge portions have their tip portions tapered at sharp acute angle. Recessed or concave portions are provided in the tip portions of these ridge portions, and these recessed portions have their surfaces inclined to the basic surface of the heat-transfer wall. The width of the respective grooves ranges from 0.05 to 2.5 mm, and the depth thereof is not more than 10 mm. The thickness of the respective ridge portions ranges from 0.01 to 2.5 mm, and the height there of is not more than 10 mm. The depth of the recessed portions ranges from 0.02 to 0.8 times the depth of the grooves, and the pitch of recessed portion is not more than 2.0 mm. The width of the tip portions of the portions is 0.01 to 1.
