  • Patent number: 6565687
    Abstract: When connecting electrodes of a chip device CP are ultrasonic-bonded to circuit electrodes provided for a resin substrate 10 to mount the chip device CP on the resin substrate 10, a heater 5 for heating the resin substrate 10 is provided with which the temperature of the resin substrate 10 is raised to a level with which the ratio of elastic modulus &egr;h realized when heat is supplied with respect to elastic modulus &egr;r of the resin substrate 10 at room temperature satisfies 1>&egr;h/&egr;r≧0.5. The heater 5 may be provided for the substrate retaining frame 4.

  • Patent number: 6495022
    Abstract: A copper foil for fine wiring is produced by forming on a bonding surface of a copper foil a composite metal layer comprising (I) copper, (II) at least one of tungsten and molybdenum and (III) at least one of nickel, cobalt, iron and zinc by carrying out electrolysis in a plating bath (A) containing ions of these metals and chloronium ions, and then forming a roughened layer comprising copper on the composite metal layer by carrying out electrolysis in a plating bath (B) containing copper ions at a current density not lower than a limiting current density of the plating bath to form a dendritic copper electrodeposition layer and then carrying out subsequent electrolysis at a current density lower than the limiting current density of plating bath to form nodular copper.

  • Patent number: 6350178
    Abstract: Magnetic recording media-are provided having separately textured data and read/write head landing zones. Separating these zones on the recording surface allows independent optimization of the topology to maximize both recording characteristics and mechanical durability. The landing or contact start stop zone has an average surface roughness greater than that of the data zone. Preferably, a transition zone extends between the contact start stop zone and the data zone, the transition zone varying between the two in average surface roughness. Preferably, the contact start stop zone is textured first, followed by the data zone, thereby ensuring uniform stiction performance. Texture machines for producing such zone texturing and texturing methods are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6025310
    Abstract: The invention provides novel organic compounds, and more particularly those having excellent lubricity, compatible with lubricating organic compounds having a benzene ring and a phosphazine ring and retaining stability free of hydrolysis for a prolonged period of time. The organic compounds are represented by the formula R.sub.1 --R.sub.0 --R.sub.1 or R.sub.0 --R.sub.1. R.sub.0 is a chain saturated organic group containing a chain of carbon atoms or a chain of carbon atom C and oxygen atom O, and filled with fluorine atoms F or trifluoromethyl groups CF.sub.3 except at one end or both ends of the chain. R.sub.1 is --CH.sub.2 --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.p --{CH(CH.sub.3)}.sub.k --{C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 }.sub.t --R.sub.2 wherein p, k and t are each an integer of 0 or not smaller than 1, and R.sub.2 is phenyl or a functional group corresponding to phenyl in which at least one of the hydrogen atoms is substituted with a compound of at least two elements selected from the group consisting of C, H, O and F or with F, Br or Cl.
