  • Patent number: 9754863
    Abstract: The semiconductor device improves heat dissipation by loading a diode and a MOSFET or IGBT in a single package. A drain electrode disposed on a rear surface of a MOSFET chip is soldered to an upper surface of a first lead frame, and a cathode electrode disposed on a rear surface of a diode chip is soldered to an upper surface of a second lead frame. Rear surfaces of the first lead frame and second lead frame to which neither the diode chip nor the MOSFET chip is connected are disposed so as to be exposed from a sealing resin.

  • Patent number: 7495927
    Abstract: A mounting structure includes a base member and an electronic component having a protruded electrode which is formed on a transparent substrate. The electrode includes pads and elastic projections that are covered with a conductive film. On the transparent substrate, terminals connected to the conductive film are formed. Dummy projections are provided on the surface of the base member. When mounting the electronic component, the electrodes are deformed by the pressure for the mounting. The dummy projections formed on the base member are also deformed. A pattern, for visually inspecting the deformation volume of dummy projections, is marked on the transparent substrate.

  • Publication number: 20050051908
    Abstract: A diode exhibiting a high reverse breakdown voltage is manufactured by employing a flame-resisting epoxy resin, the extract of which when extracted under predetermined conditions exhibits electrical conductivity of 250 ?S/cm or lower. According to the invention, sealant resins for high-voltage diodes with excellent moisture resistance are selected by employing the electrical resistance value found to be appropriate for a reference value not by assembling a high-voltage diode, but rather by conducting the predetermined humidity resistance test on the sealant resins. The sealant resin selection according to the invention facilitates reducing the resin costs, and, therefore, manufacturing high-voltage diodes exhibiting excellent humidity resistance with low manufacturing costs.

  • Publication number: 20010045624
    Abstract: A plurality of optimized diode chips are connected in series with each other to provide a high-voltage silicon diode rectifying device. Each chip has an improved withstand voltage and inverse surge resistance which improves the overall usefulness and efficiency of high-voltage silicon diodes. This invention also reduces costs by requiring fewer individual diode chips. The specific resistance of the (n)-type silicon substrate is in a critical range of between 20 to 50 &OHgr;cm. The diffusion depth of the p+ anode layer is in a critical range of between 30 to 200 &mgr;m. The thickness of the n− base layer is 0.54×(&rgr;·Vsr)½ or greater. In another embodiment, the specific resistance of the silicon substrate is in the range of 32 to 40 &OHgr;cm, and diffusion depth of the p+ anode layer is in the range of 70 to 200 &mgr;m. In yet another embodiment, a cathode layer is diffused on the semiconductor base material.
