  • Patent number: 5334875
    Abstract: There is a trend to increase that area of a device requiring a memory of large capacity, which is occupied by a semiconductor memory. This trend obstructs reduction of the size of the device. The present invention contemplates to provide a memory which can have a high integration, a high density and a large capacity while minimizing the mounting area. In order to achieve this memory, the TAB (Tape Automated Bonding) of the prior art is mounted on an electrically conductive connector, and a plurality of structures composed of the TAB and the connector are stacked. Moreover, the connector mounting the TAB thereon is constructed such that the independent terminals of the stacked TABs may not be shorted.

  • Patent number: 5300798
    Abstract: When a semiconductor integrated circuit device having a wiring structure of three or more layers is hierarchically considered as a collection of a plurality of functional blocks, each functional block is internally connected by wirings in the first wiring layer, in which wirings have their main extended direction prescribed to be the X-direction, and wirings in the second wiring layer, in which wirings have their main extended direction prescribed to be the Y-direction, formed over the first wiring layer. Wirings in the third wiring layer, in which wirings have their main extended direction prescribed to be the same as the wirings in the second wiring layer, formed over the second wiring layer, together with wirings in the first and second wiring layer, are used as signal wirings between functional blocks, while the wirings in the third wiring layer are used as power supply wirings for providing power supply to functional blocks.

  • Patent number: 5220491
    Abstract: A module board has a supporting plate and slender lead pins having their first portions arranged substantially in parallel with one another on a plane substantially coplanar with the supporting plate. The supporting plate and the first portions of the slender lead pins are sandwiched between electrically insulating layer members. The supporting plate and the first portions of the lead pins are isolated from one another with an electrically insulating material between the pair of electrically insulating layer members. Second portions of the lead pins protrude from the pair of electrically insulating layer members. Through holes are provided one for each of the lead pins and through hole conductors are formed on the inner walls of the through holes.

  • Patent number: 4997243
    Abstract: In a photoelectric device, particularly, a photoelectric device for optical communication, an optical fiber is fixed at two fixing points so that the extremity of the optical fiber is disposed opposite to the light emitting surface of a laser diode chip and the optical fiber extends in a nonlinear shape, for example, in a moderate curve, between the two fixing points. Even though holding members fixedly holding the optical fiber at the two fixing points and a base member supporting the holding members are formed of a metal or metals having a coefficient of thermal expansion far greater than that of the optical fiber, and even if the distance between the two fixing points is varied due to the thermal expansion or contraction of the holding members and the base member, the optical fiber is obliged only to change the shape of extension.

  • Patent number: 4793688
    Abstract: In the photo electro device, a laser diode chip is set fixedly through a submount to a heatsink in a package. In assembling, first a ball lens is anchored to a holder of a lens support frame by clinching claws of the holder. Subsequently the surfaces of the ball lens on the obverse and reverse sides of the lens support frame are coated with nonreflective films. Then the position of the lens support frame is adjusted relatively to the laser diode chip so that the respective optical axes are aligned with each other. And after an arm is welded fixedly to the heatsink, a frame member is severed or removed to complete the work for setting the ball lens.
