  • Patent number: 7291905
    Abstract: A lead frame of the present invention includes a plurality of tie bars including tie bars each having deformable portions that protect opposite outside frames from deformation. The outside frames each are formed with positioning holes. Element loading portions to be loaded with semiconductor elements are connected to the outside frames by such tie bars. The lead frame is therefore free from deformation during lead forming while promoting the miniaturization of the semiconductor devices.

  • Patent number: 7236373
    Abstract: A recess for fully receiving an electronic component and a window opened from the bottom of the recess to the bottom surface of a metal substrate are formed in the metal substrate. A wiring board is bonded to the underside of the metal substrate, and the electronic component is fixed to the bottom of the recess. Input and output terminals of the electronic component are connected to electrode pads of the wiring board exposed within the window using wire bonding. A metal lid is bonded to the top surface of the metal substrate to close the opening of the recess. Electromagnetic waves generated by the electronic component are confined to the electronic device because the electronic device is surrounded by the metal substrate, the metal lid, and a ground electrode disposed on the wiring board. Heat dissipation performance is assured because the electronic component is connected to the metal substrate.

  • Patent number: 6555763
    Abstract: A multilayered circuit board for a semiconductor chip module includes an underlying board, insulating layers, fixed-potential wiring layers, via holes, and metal layers. The underlying board has a major surface made of a metal material to which a fixed potential is applied. The insulating layers are stacked on the major surface of the underlying board and have wiring layers formed on their surfaces. The fixed-potential wiring layers constitute part of the wiring layers formed on the insulating layers. The via holes are formed below the fixed-potential wiring layers to extend through the insulating layers. The metal layers are filled in the via holes so as to make upper ends be connected to the lower surfaces of the fixed-potential wiring layers. One of the insulating layers in contact with the major surface of the underlying board is formed on the underlying board while the lower end of the metal layer is in contact with the major surface of the underlying board.
