Abstract: A bolt includes a main body and a spring pin. The main body includes a head and a shaft. The spring pin includes a base portion and an end portion. The shaft includes a portion of external thread and a hollow portion. The head includes a top surface and a hole opened in the top surface. The hole is connected to the hollow portion. The base portion is arranged in the hollow potion to move along an axis of the main body. The end portion is arranged in the hole to move along the axis. The spring pin is energized toward a side of the head such that the end portion protrudes beyond the top surface. The end portion is electrically connected to the portion of external thread.

Abstract: A protection circuit device using a MOSFET has a plural of conductive paths separated electrically, a MOSFET chip integrating two power MOSFETs in one chip where a gate electrode and a source electrode are fixed on the desired conductive path, conductive material provided on a common drain electrode of the MOSFET, and insulating resin covering said MOSFET and supporting said conductive path in one body. Removing a drawing-around of the common drain electrode and fixing the source electrode directly on the conductive path, low ON-state resistance is realized.

Abstract: In a conventional power MOSFET, an electric field concentration occurs at a gate electrode bottom portion on the outermost periphery of an operating area, thereby causing a deterioration in high voltage strength between the drain and the source, or between the collector and emitter. In this invention, a trench at the outermost periphery of an operating area is shallower than trenches of the operating area. Thereby, the electric field concentration at the gate electrode bottom portion on the outermost periphery of the operating area is relieved, and a deterioration in high voltage strength between the drain and source is suppressed. Furthermore, by narrowing the outermost peripheral trench aperture portion, trenches different in depth can be formed by an identical step.

Abstract: After a trench 54 is formed in a conductive foil 60, a circuit element is mounted in a flip chip method. Then, an insulating resin 50 is covered on the conductive foil 60 as a support substrate. After reversion, the conductive foil 60 is polished over the insulating resin 50 as a support substrate at this time to separate the conductive paths. Accordingly, a circuit device having the conductive paths 51 and the circuit elements 52 supported by the insulating resin 50 can be produced without employing the support substrate.

Abstract: In the present invention, a vertical type MOSFET and a Schottky barrier diode which are used as a switching device of a DC--DC converter are formed on the same semiconductor substrate. Further, a barrier metal which is required for the Schottky barrier diode is also formed on an electrode portion of the vertical type MOSFET. In addition, a Schottky barrier diode forming region is formed to have low impurity concentration than a vertical type MOSFET forming region.
