Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a module substrate having opposite top and bottom surfaces, a semiconductor chip provided with bumps and mounted on the top surface of the module substrate via the bumps, and a metal member having a top portion disposed at a level higher than the semiconductor chip with reference to the top surface of the module substrate and including the semiconductor chip in plan view and a side portion extending from the top portion toward the module substrate. The module substrate includes a first metal film disposed on or in at least one of the bottom surface and an internal layer of the module substrate. The first metal film is electrically connected to the bumps and reaches a side surface of the module substrate. The side portion is thermally coupled to the first metal film at the side surface of the module substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed herewith is a telescopic type steering device that is high in vibration rigidity and good in feeling of steering has a lower column; an upper column telescopically coupled to the lower column; a steering shaft assembly having an upper axle member for mounting a steering wheel at the upper end and a lower axle member spline-coupled with the upper axle member so as to transmit steering torque to a steering mechanism of a car body from the wheel through the upper and lower axle members; a lower bearing for rotatably supporting the lower axle member at the lower side; an upper bearing for rotatably supporting the upper axle member at the upper side; and an intermediate bearing for rotatably supporting the steering shaft assembly at an intermediate position between the upper and lower bearings.

Abstract: A multilayer printed wiring board is provided with a thermal conduction path for dissipating heat generated by an integrated circuit into the air. The multilayer printed wiring board includes: an injection hole for injecting a thermally conductive filler; holes for inspecting the filled state of the thermally conductive filler; a heat dissipating planar conductor that dissipates heat of an inner-layer planar conductor into the air; and through holes for thermally connecting the heat dissipating planar conductor to the inner-layer planar conductor. After packaging an integrated circuit, the thermally conductive filler is injected through the injection hole and into a gap between the integrated circuit and the multilayer printed wiring board, and the filled state of the thermally conductive filler is verified by means of the filled state inspection holes.

Abstract: A multilayer printed wiring board prevents unnecessary emission of electromagnetic waves. The board includes at least two signal wiring layers, at least one ground layer, at least one power source layer, and a ground plane. The board further includes ground wiring adjacent to signal wiring in a signal wiring layer farther apart from said ground layer, the ground wiring being in the signal wiring layer. The ground wiring serves as a return current path for a signal current flowing in the signal wiring. In this structure, the return current path is reserved adjacent to the signal current path and the signal wiring is lower in impedance than the ground plane. The current can be fed back through a shorter closed loop. It is therefore possible to form a small loop to pass a signal current returning to a ground point and flowing through each signal wiring arranged in the board and a return current of the signal current. This minimizes unnecessary emission of electromagnetic waves.
