  • Publication number: 20050052035
    Abstract: An improved door security latch is disclosed in which the range of motion of a secured door is variable depending on the degree to which the latch is engaged. Like most prior art latches, an arm with a substantially spherical member is mounted to the inside surface of a door such that the arm extends beyond the free edge of the door. A pivotable first yoke mounted to the door frame engages the arm and substantially spherical member such that as the arm travels along the first yoke, the substantially spherical member constrains the arm within the first yoke, limiting the doors swing to the length of the first yoke. The present invention adds a second yoke which engages the substantially spherical member more closely, limiting the swing of the door to a fraction of an inch.

  • Patent number: 6501175
    Abstract: A plane layer and a number of thin filamentary interconnection patterns disposed therearound are disposed on the upper surface of a flexible insulating tape. A semiconductor chip is mounted on the plane layer on the insulating tape by flip-chip bonding, and has terminals on its reverse side which are connected to the plane layer and the interconnection patterns, respectively. Some of the terminals of the semiconductor chip are connected through the plane layer to solder balls, providing ground interconnections. Other terminals are connected to the interconnection patterns to other solder balls, providing power supply interconnections. Still other terminals are connected to other interconnection patterns to still other solder balls, providing signal interconnections. The semiconductor device can simply be fabricated, requires no device hole for semiconductor chip, can be reduced in size, have electric interconnected reduced, and can have electric characteristics stabilized.

  • Patent number: 5777387
    Abstract: Copper foil wiring is applied to base film and the wiring is in turn covered by a cover resist. The electrodes of a semiconductor IC chip is connected to the inner leads of the copper foil wiring and the semiconductor chip is then encapsulated by encapsulation resin. Solder balls are supplied to lands through openings in the cover resist, and bumps are formed. The four sides of the film are then folded to form folded portions. These folded portions increase the strength of the edges of the film, thereby reducing warping and waviness and allowing simultaneous mounting of other devices such as QFP to the substrate. The angle of folding with respect to the film surface is preferably 20.degree. or greater and less than 90.degree., and still greater strength can be obtained by two-stage folding of the sides.

  • Patent number: 5643802
    Abstract: A method of producing a semiconductor device is disclosed and includes steps of temporarily connecting inner leads or lands provided on a film carrier tape and electrode pads provided on an IC chip at the same time by low-temperature gang bonding, and then bonding them by point bonding. The method enhances the reliable production of a semiconductor device by reducing the influence of localized load and temperature ascribable to the short accuracy of the gang bonding jig as well as the influence of the deformation of a film carrier tape due to heat applied during point bonding.
