  • Patent number: 8184429
    Abstract: A capacitor is improved in reliability by suppressing the formation of burrs or protrusions at a joint portion between an aluminum wire round rod and an external terminal in a lead wire used for a capacitor. A metal cap having a higher melting point than aluminum is fitted to an end portion of the aluminum wire round rod and the metal cap is heated, thereby joining the aluminum wire round rod to the metal cap. Thereafter, the external terminal and the metal cap are welded to each other. The metal cap has a curved surface in which an outer periphery is decreased from an opening toward an end portion opposite to the opining. The opening is provided with a stepped portion, so that the sealing degree is increased when the lead wire is inserted into a hole of the sealing member.

  • Patent number: 7230288
    Abstract: A solid-state image pickup device includes: a plurality of light receiving portions arranged in a matrix, and a vertical transfer register which is four-phase driven by first, second, third and fourth transfer electrodes of a three-layer structure. The vertical transfer register is provided for each of columns of the light receiving portions. The first and third transfer electrodes of the first layer are alternately arranged in a charge transfer direction, and the adjacent two of the first and third transfer electrodes extend in parallel to each other between the light receiving portions. With this solid-state image pickup device, the accumulated charge capacity of each transfer region composed of the adjacent transfer electrodes for two-phases is equalized and the area of the light receiving portion is increased irrespective of variations in processed dimension between the transfer electrodes.
