  • Patent number: 8247888
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device capable of preventing a semiconductor chip from being damaged by any sharp burrs of a metallic shielding plate. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip and a metallic shielding plate provided on a circuit surface of the semiconductor chip. The metallic shielding plate is disposed in such a manner that a second surface of a shielding plate body is directed towards the circuit surface of the semiconductor chip, and burrs are positioned contiguous to the second surface of the shielding plate body. At distal ends of the burrs, cutting burrs are formed in a direction orthogonal to the second surface. The sharp burrs extend in a direction opposite to the semiconductor chip, so that the sharp burrs are prevented from damaging the circuit surface of the semiconductor chip.

  • Publication number: 20120105566
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a printer includes a conveying mechanism, a first image forming unit and a coloring conversion mechanism. The conveying mechanism conveys a medium. The first image forming unit forms an image on the medium with a temperature-sensitive ink whose color changes depending on temperature. The coloring conversion mechanism converts a coloring state of the image with the temperature-sensitive ink by heating or cooling the image with the temperature-sensitive ink.
