Abstract: A method for manufacturing a fine-patterned thick film conductor structure free from ununiformity in film thickness comprises steps of forming resist on a thin metal plate at areas other than land areas, electroplating the thin metal plate using the thin metal plate as a cathode electrode to form conductors having a circuit density of no less than three lines/mm and a thickness of 15-200 .mu.m, bonding the electroplated thin metal plate to an insulative substrate with the thin metal plate side facing up and etching the thin metal plate. The fine-patterned conductors are suited for use in small-sized coils, high density connectors and high density wirings.Further disclosed is a method for manufacturing a fine-patterned thick film printed circuit board free from side protrusion comprising steps of forming resist on a thin metal plate at areas other than land areas, electroplating the thin metal plate to a thickness of 0.3-10 .mu.m at a current density of 0.05-2 A/dm.sup.

Abstract: In manufacturing a fine-patterned thick film conductor structure, a thin film conductor layer having a film thickness of 0.1-10 .mu.m is formed on an insulating substrate and conductive material is then electroplated on the thin film conductor layer to the thickness of 34.9-190 .mu.m under the condition of a cathode current density of no less than 5 A/dm.sup.2. In patterning the conductors, a film thickness-to-conductor interspacing ratio is selected to be no less than 1.4 to prevent widthwise thickening of the conductors in the electroplating process. Resulting conductor structure has a circuit density of no less than 5 lines/mm and a film thickness of 35-200 .mu.m. It is useful for a high density printed circuit board and a miniature coil.

Abstract: In a compound semiconductor device such as a magnetoresistance element or Hall element having a compound semiconductor portion such as of InSb and an electrode portion, a portion of the compound semiconductor portion is exposed to energy irradiation to be converted into an alloy state or amorphous state and rendered conductive to form the electrode portion. The portion rendered conductive is contiguous to and in ohmic contact with the unexposed portion of the compound semiconductor and used as a shorting bar electrode or an external lead bonding pad.

Abstract: A semiconductor magnetoresistive element with at least one intermediate terminal comprises first and second electrodes formed at opposite ends of a magnetosensitive portion of the semiconductor magnetoresistive element, a third electrode interposed between the first and second electrodes, and a plurality of shorting bars disposed, with electrical isolation from each other, on at least one of respective sections of the magnetosensitive portion between the first and third electrodes and between the second and third electrodes, whereby the magnetic sensitivity characteristic of the magnetosensitive section between the first and third electrodes is rendered different from that of the magnetosensitive section between the second and third electrodes.

Abstract: Deposited on a glass or ceramic substrate for a thin-film microcircuit board such as a hybrid IC board or a transparent electrode is a thin-film laminate, which comprises a dispersion metal thin-film dispersible and evaporable upon application of an energy above a threshold value and an electrical property-imparting film defining a conductor or a resistor. Then a high intensity of light having an energy sufficient to cause dispersion is applied selectively on the thin-film laminate, thereby removing exposed portions of the thin-film laminate as a result of dispersion and evaporation thereof. Unexposed portions of the thin-film laminate provide a desired pattern. The electrical property-imparting film is a thin-film of noble metal such as gold, silver or platinum or a thin film of transparent electrode material such as SnO.sub.2 or In.sub.2 O.sub.3, which is not easily dispersible upon application of the above energy.

Abstract: A novel printed circuit board with a circuit of high precision having a polymer coat layer between a base and a dispersion imaging material layer and a pattern circuit on undispersed portions of the dispersion imaging material layer. Such a printed circuit board is prepared by a simplified process which comprises essentially two steps, namely, exposure of the dispersion imaging material through a circuit pattern mask to obtain a pattern circuit of the unexposed portions and conductive metal plating wherein said unexposed portions are selectively deposited with the conductive metal due to the specific effect of provision of the polymer coat layer directly under the dispersion imaging material layer.
