  • Patent number: 6762492
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed in which no protruding portion is required and an occurrence of parasitic capacitance is prevented. The semiconductor device includes a substrate 1 which has a wiring portion 5 and a semiconductor chip 2 which has a functional surface 2a in a front surface thereof and which is bonded by flip chip bonding onto said substrate through a holding member. The holding member which holds the semiconductor chip 2 and the substrate 1 is composed of an adhesive material 3 in one embodiment, and the adhesive material adheres the substrate 1 on at least one surface other than both of the front surface and an opposing surface thereof and it is arranged for the adhesive material not to enter a space between the substrate 1 and the semiconductor device 2.

  • Patent number: 6572317
    Abstract: A fastener has a head for retaining a vehicle component and a leg to be fitted into a mounting hole of a panel. The leg has a plurality of resilient engaging walls extending in the axis direction with a plurality of vertical slits interposed therebetween. Upper ends of the walls are connected to the head and lower ends of the walls are connected to one another. Each upper end connected to the head is provided with a lateral cut. The presence of the cut makes the wall to easily flex inwardly when the leg is inserted into the mounting hole of the panel, enabling the insertion of the leg with smaller force, resulting in significant improvement in workability.
