  • Publication number: 20170243808
    Abstract: A joined body of the embodiments is a joined body which includes copper and resin, wherein in a joint surface of the copper to the resin, a triazine thiol derivative, or the triazine thiol derivative and a silane coupling agent are bonded to a base surface and the silane coupling agent is bonded to an oxide film formed on part of the joint surface, respectively, and the copper and the resin are molecularly joined to each other. This configuration makes it possible to obtain a joined body having high reliability by molecularly joining both the base surface and the oxide film of the copper, and the resin securely and achieving a strong joint of the copper and the resin at a time of joining the copper and the resin even though the oxide film is formed on part of the joint surface of the copper.

  • Publication number: 20170197823
    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.

  • Patent number: 8466757
    Abstract: A multilayer common mode filter is provided, which can inhibit cracks from occurring, while securing the magnetic coupling between coil conductors. Since magnetic layers are disposed in an inner region of spiral first and second coil conductors, the multilayer common mode filter can secure the magnetic coupling between the first and second coil conductors. In a columnar part including these magnetic layers, magnetic and nonmagnetic bodies are arranged alternately in the laminating direction, whereby the total volume of the magnetic layers in the inner region can be kept smaller than in the case where a magnetic layer penetrates through the inner region of the coil conductors. As a result, at the time of firing a matrix, the difference in the amount of shrinkage between the nonmagnetic and magnetic layers can be suppressed, so as to inhibit cracks from occurring at their interfaces.
