    Abstract: A packaged micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device (100) comprises a circuitry chip (101) attached to the pad (110) of a substrate with leads (111), and a MEMS (150) vertically attached to the chip surface by a layer (140) of low modulus silicone compound. On the chip surface, the MEMS device is surrounded by a polyimide ring (130) with a surface phobic to silicone compounds. A dome-shaped glob (160) of cured low modulus silicone material covers the MEMS and the MEMS terminal bonding wire spans (180); the glob is restricted to the chip surface area inside the polyimide ring and has a surface non-adhesive to epoxy-based molding compounds. A package (190) of polymeric molding compound encapsulates the vertical assembly of the glob embedding the MEMS, the circuitry chip, and portions of the substrate; the molding compound is non-adhering to the glob surface yet adhering to all other surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20220319766
    Abstract: In the multi-layer coil component, the via conductor electrically connecting the coil layers adjacent to each other in the stacking direction of the element body protrudes from the coil region toward the side surface of the element body when viewed from the stacking direction of the element body. Therefore, the coil has a concave-convex portion. When a force is applied to the multi-layer coil component from the outside, the force is dispersed in the concave-convex portion of the coil, and thus defects are less likely to occur in the coil than in a coil in which the side of the side surfaces is flat.

  • Publication number: 20220310316
    Abstract: In the multi-layer coil component, the hole portion is provided in the vicinity of the side surface of the element body, and the distance from the tip position of the external electrode to the hole portion is shorter than the distance from the tip position of the external electrode to the coil. Therefore, when a crack is generated starting from the tip position of the external electrode on the mounting surface, the crack progress toward the hole portion located at a distance closer than the coil. Therefore, in the multi-layer coil component, splitting of the coil due to the crack can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20220310312
    Abstract: In the multi-layer coil component, the lead conductor is exposed from the end surface of the element body and is connected to the external electrode provided on the end surface. When the lead conductor is led out to the end surface of the element body, the lead area can be easily increased as compared with the case where the lead conductor is led out to the side surface of the element body. Therefore, by connecting the coil and the external electrode via the lead conductor, high connectivity between the coil and the external electrode is achieved.
