Publication number: 20050126002Abstract: A base layer, which is supposed to be burnt off by baking, is formed on an unbaked member such as ceramic green sheet or laminated ceramic green sheets. This base layer improves ink acceptability of the unbaked ceramic member particularly for low viscosity ink such as jet-ink, and prevents oozing, draining, uneven thickness. This structure thus allows the inkjet to form a precise pattern. The base layer is burnt off at the baking step in the manufacturing process of electronic components, thus it does not adversely affect the reliability of the electronic component.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2005Publication date: June 16, 2005Applicant: MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventor: Keiichi Nakao

Publication number: 20040061747Abstract: Here disclosed is an ink jet apparatus having an ink-circulating/dispersing function. The apparatus provides the ink with dispersion as required, and circulates the ink through the tube to the ink-collecting tank. In the circulation, a required amount of the ink is fed to the printer head to form a predetermined pattern on the surface of a substrate. By virtue of the circulating/dispersing function, the apparatus can cope well with easy-to-aggregate ink having poor stability in printing, protecting the printer head or the ink-spouting section from clogging in ink jet printing. Such stabilized ink jet printing contributes to manufacturing highly reliable electronic components with increased yield of products.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2003Publication date: April 1, 2004Inventors: Keiichi Nakao, Hideyuki Okinaka

Patent number: 6485591Abstract: The invention relates to a method of laminating ceramic greenware sheets with electrodes embedded therein (25) which is formed on a support by pressure-adhering a ceramic greenware sheet with an electrode embedded therein onto a second ceramic greenware sheet or other electrodes (23), then peeling off the support alone and transferring the ceramic greenware sheet with the embedded electrodes onto the second ceramic greenware sheet or the other electrodes. This manufacturing method enables it to laminate ceramic greenware sheets each the thickness of which is as thin as 20 micrometers or less, while maintaining their mechanical strength and embedded electrodes in the ceramic greenware sheets, thereby enabling it to prevent a occurrence of surface irregularities due to the thickness of the electrodes even when laminating to a high degree.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1994Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiichi Nakao, Hideyuki Okinaka, Yasutaka Horibe, Hikoji Okuyama, Masahiro Katoh, Takashi Iguchi, Akira Ohmi, Yoshiyuki Miura

Patent number: 6378424Abstract: A method of fabricating electronic parts is provided which is capable of forming fine patterns with high accuracy as well as easily fabricating a multilayered structure of a conductor pattern with high performance. The disclosed method includes the steps of forming a pattern on a surface of a flexible resin sheet by laser process, and then forming a release layer on the surface of the thus obtained pattern, thereby forming an intaglio plate. Next, the intaglio plate is filled with Ag paste, dried and laminated onto an insulating substrate, on which a thermoplastic resin layer is formed. Thereafter, the intaglio plate is peeled from the substrate so that the pattern of the paste is transferred thereon, and a conductor pattern is formed. Further, an insulating layer is formed to cover the conductor pattern and another conductor pattern is formed on the insulating layer, thereby forming a multilayered structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2000Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Hayama, Noboru Mohri, Keiichi Nakao
