  • Patent number: 10224388
    Abstract: A wound wire is wound around a core assembly so that both ends are short-circuited. In a coupling pin insertion state in which a coupling pin is inserted in a through hole of the core assembly, outer-peripheral space parts of respective divided core portions of the core assembly are disposed so as to overlap in plan view. Consequently, an air gap is formed in a part of a side surface of the core assembly. Before formation of a covering member, a main wire is caused to pass through the air gap and is thus disposed in a wiring hole of the core assembly. Then, the covering member for closing the air gap is provided on an outer peripheral surface side of the core assembly including the air gap so that a core structure is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6559481
    Abstract: A semiconductor device such as an IGBT, for realizing measurement precision for forward voltage effect characteristics using a relatively small current. It includes a second conductivity type of first anode region formed to partially constitute the upper surface of a first conductivity type of semiconductor substrate and having an anode electrode formed on its upper surface, a second anode region formed within said first anode region, and an anode electrode formed on said second anode region. The second anode region is electrically isolated from the first anode region, and the anode electrode formed on the upper surface of the second anode region is independent of the anode electrode formed on the upper surface of the first anode region. In such semiconductor device having said second anode region, even though a small force current, measurement can be performed at a current density which is equal to or close to a rated current.
