  • Publication number: 20230291110
    Abstract: A production method of a communication device includes a step of forming an antenna substrate and a circuit substrate independently from each other. The production method also includes a step of joining the antenna substrate and the circuit substrate simultaneously with joining of a power feeding pad and a power feeding path. In brief, the production method executes two discrete steps: forming the circuit substrate and forming the antenna substrate. This improves a production yield of the communication device as compared with the circuit substrate and the antenna substrate are produced in a single step.

  • Patent number: 5948991
    Abstract: An IC chip for signal processing circuit is enclosed in a mold IC and a pressure sensitive element unit is integrally provided thereon. When the mold IC is housed in a case, the mold IC is fixed to the case under a state where ends of connector pins insert-molded to the case are electrically connected to external terminals of the mold IC. Thereby, a sensor signal is outputted from other ends of the connector pins. By integrating the IC chip for signal processing circuit in the mold IC, the IC chip for signal processing circuit can be protected against a contaminated environment at a location where the pressure sensitive element unit is arranged.

  • Patent number: 5920768
    Abstract: A hybrid IC substrate and a power transistor are mounted on a mounting base so as to form a lead frame assembly. The hybrid IC substrate and the power transistor are electrically connected by wires. The lead frame assembly is held between upper and lower molding dies. Inner leads are arranged in a vicinity of an air vent communicating with a molding cavity defined between the upper and lower molding dies so as to protrude into the molding cavity. A liquefied molding resin is injected into the molding cavity from a gate at an upstream side of the molding cavity opposed to the inner leads. The injected molding resin is separated into upper and lower resin flows advancing above and below the lead frame assembly.

  • Patent number: 5202753
    Abstract: A resin-sealed semiconductor device, including a lead frame. A semiconductor chip is formed on the lead frame and is electrically connected with the lead frame. At least a part of the lead frame and the semiconductor chip are sealed with a theremosetting resin which includes a base resin, aluminum oxide and fused silica. Stress acting on the semiconductor chip is reduced because the thermal expansion coefficient of the thermosetting resin becomes low due to the fused silica. At the same time the thermal conductivity of the thermosetting resin is increased because of the aluminum oxide.
