  • Patent number: 6372158
    Abstract: A paste of the present invention comprises a precious metal organic acid salt added to precious metal powder as a precious metal component of the conductive paste. The base metal organic acid salts are also used instead of base metal components in the inorganic binders to exclude particles with larger diameters from the conductive paste. The conductive paste of the present invention allows the lumps in the paste caused by the insufficient dispersion to be 10 &mgr;m &PHgr; or less, thereby remarkably reducing the screen blockage during screen printing of wiring pattern of 100 &mgr;m or less in width.

  • Patent number: 6347584
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing electronic components using intaglio transfer printing for improving printing yield. Intaglio 1 having a dual releasing layer structure is used. In this structure, first releasing layer 2 is formed on the surface of intaglio 1 by chemical absorption, and second releasing layer 3 is formed on the first releasing layer by physical adsorption. This structure allows intaglio 1 to have stable releasing ability, thereby improving the printing yield. In addition, because second releasing layer 3 can be added as required, the printing yield is not decreased even when the intaglio is repeatedly used for printing. Furthermore, the dual releasing layer structure can improve durability of the releasing ability of intaglio 1. As a result, patterns for electronic components can be formed on substrates at an excellent yield.

  • Patent number: 6310304
    Abstract: A pattern, in which a groove of an optional position is deeper than that of the other portion, is formed on a surface of a flexible resin sheet by laser process, and then a release layer is formed on the surface of the thus obtained pattern, thereby forming an intaglio plate. The intaglio plate is filled with Ag paste and then dried. The intaglio plate is then laminated onto an insulating substrate, on which a thermoplastic resin layer is formed using heat rollers. Thereafter, the intaglio plate is peeled from the insulating substrate so that the pattern of the Ag paste is transferred thereon, and the conductor pattern is formed through burning. Further, an insulating layer is formed so as to cover the conductor pattern and another conductor pattern is formed on the insulating layer, whereby forming a multilayered structure.

  • Patent number: 6141847
    Abstract: A ceramic substrate 1 made of magnetic substance on which an inductor 2 is formed is prepared. A ceramic substrate 3 made of dielectric substance on which a capacitor 4 is formed is also prepared. An intermediate layer 5 made of lass paste is printed on the inductor 2 and the capacitor 4. After debinding the substrates 1 and 3 independently, both the substrates are filed with the intermediate layer 5 therebetween so that both the substrates may be glued and integrated. As such, because the debinding process is provided before filing, less gas is generated in firing, and as a result, voids are restrained from occurring.

  • Patent number: 6132543
    Abstract: The present invention provides a packaged substrate which has a superior positioning accuracy of wiring formed on a circuit substrate made of ceramics, and a conductive pattern with a thick film and yet a fine pattern. On a surface of flexible base member made of plastic, fine grooves are formed in a pattern corresponding to a first conductive pattern so that a cavity face is produced. Conductive paste is filled and into the grooves on this cavity face, and then dried. The cavity face and a circuit substrate are pasted with each other by applying predetermined heat and pressure. A pattern of the dried conductive paste is transcribed onto the circuit substrate, and then the first conductive pattern is formed by firing. A first ball solder is coupled with a second conductive pattern which is coupled to the first conductive pattern through an electrode in a through-hole of the circuit substrate.

  • Patent number: 6051448
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing an electronic component for forming a conductor pattern on an insulating substrate by transfer method employing intaglio printing technique, this manufacturing method comprises a step of fabricating an intaglio 20 made of flexible resin forming an insulating layer 23 on a groove 21, a step of filling the groove 21 with Ag paste 24 and drying, a step of overlaying the intaglio 20 on an insulating substrate 2 having a water-soluble resin 28 formed on the surface by pressing a pressing portion 26, freezing, peeling off the intaglio 20 and insulating substrate 2, and transferring the pattern of the Ag paste 24, and a step of firing it and forming a conductor pattern.

  • Patent number: 5609704
    Abstract: A pattern, in which a groove of an optional position is deeper than that of the other portion, is formed on a surface of a flexible resin sheet by laser process, and then a fluorine-carbon monomolecular film release layer is formed on the surface of the thus obtained pattern, thereby forming an intaglio plate. The intaglio plate is filled with Ag paste and then dried. The intaglio plate is then laminated onto an insulating substrate, on which a thermoplastic resin layer is formed using heat rollers. Thereafter, the intaglio plate is peeled from the insulating substrate so that the pattern of the Ag paste is transferred thereon, and the conductor pattern is formed through burning. Further, an insulating layer is formed so as to cover the conductor pattern and another conductor pattern is formed on the insulating layer, whereby forming a multilayered structure.
