  • Publication number: 20240087798
    Abstract: A coil component includes a coil configured of a winding, an exterior body provided to cover the coil, and a terminal part configured to be continuous with the winding. A proximal end portion of the terminal part is buried in the exterior body. A distal end portion ahead of the proximal end portion is bent from the proximal end portion and located outside a mounting surface of the exterior body along the mounting surface.

  • Publication number: 20230411069
    Abstract: An electronic component includes an element body, an electric element embedded inside the element body, and an electrode terminal connected to the electric element so as to be exposed to an outer surface of the element body. The electrode terminal includes a terminal body continuously and integrally formed with a wire of the electric element embedded inside the element body and extending in a planar shape along a main surface of the element body. The wire is drawn out to an outside of the element body from the main surface of the element body to form the electrode terminal.

  • Publication number: 20230377794
    Abstract: An electronic component includes an element body and an electrode terminal. The electrode terminal includes a terminal body extending in a planar shape along a main surface of the element body, and at least one of an outward protrusion continuously and integrally formed with the terminal body and protruding outside the main surface and an inward protrusion continuously and integrally formed with the terminal body and extending inside of the element body from the main surface.

  • Patent number: 8267745
    Abstract: Methods for holding a workpiece with a hydrostatic pad are disclosed herein. The pad includes hydrostatic pockets formed in a face of the body directly opposed to the wafer. The pockets are adapted for receiving fluid through the body and into the pockets to provide a barrier between the body face and the workpiece while still applying pressure to hold the workpiece during grinding. The hydrostatic pads allow the wafer to rotate relative to the pads about their common axis. The pockets are oriented to reduce hydrostatic bending moments that are produced in the wafer when the grinding wheels shift or tilt relative to the hydrostatic pads, helping prevent nanotopology degradation of surfaces of the wafer commonly caused by shift and tilt of the grinding wheels.

  • Patent number: 8145342
    Abstract: Processing a wafer using a double side grinder having a pair of grinding wheels. Warp data is obtained by a warp measurement device for measuring warp of a wafer as ground by the double side grinder. The warp data is received and a nanotopography of the wafer is predicted based on the received warp data. A grinding parameter is determined based on the predicted nanotopography of the wafer. Operation of the double side grinder is adjusted based on the determined grinding parameter.
