  • Publication number: 20030148079
    Abstract: A thermal conductive substrate includes a first electrical insulator layer, a second electrical insulator layer and a lead frame serving as a circuit pattern. The first electrical insulator layer is formed of a thermal conductive resin composition containing a thermosetting resin and an inorganic filler, and is joined to the lead frame. The second electrical insulator layer is provided on the side of the first electrical insulator layer not in contact with the lead frame, and is formed of a thermal conductive resin composition containing the inorganic filler and a resin composition containing the thermosetting resin. The second electrical insulator layer has a higher thermal conductivity than the first electrical insulator layer. Thus, it is possible to achieve higher heat-radiating characteristics and component packaging reliability without deteriorating formability and adhesive characteristics of the electrical insulator layers.

  • Publication number: 20030010764
    Abstract: A method for calculating the shape of a bead of a welded part determining an appropriate welding condition by solving the problem of multiple solution of when the shape causing a recess or undercut in the flange is determined by calculation. The geometry data on the object to be welded, the characteristic parameters of the object and welding environment, and the welding conditions are set. Under the welding conditions, the melting part of the object is inferred by heat conduction calculation. The coordinates are rotated about an axis parallel to the direction of the welding and/or about an axis perpendicular to the welding direction for the inferred melting part. A difference lattice is set for the coordinate-rotated melting part. The displacement of the melting part for which the difference lattice is set is calculated by a curved surface equation.
