Patent number: 11302597Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided with a heat dissipating face side skirt portion, which is a frame-form projection, on a heat dissipating face of a lead frame. Because of this, creepage distance increases with a small increase in an amount of resin, and insulating properties improve. Also, the heat dissipating face side skirt portion is molded via two transfer molding steps, wettability of the second molding resin with respect to a first molding resin and the lead frame increases, and adhesion improves. Furthermore, an end face of an inner lead is exposed in an element sealing portion on a mounting face side, and covered with a second thin molded portion molded using the second molding resin, whereby heat generated in a semiconductor element can efficiently be caused to escape from faces of both a first thin molded portion and the second thin molded portion, because of which heat dissipation improves.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Takanobu Kajihara, Katsuhiko Omae, Takashi Nagao, Masayuki Funakoshi, Norio Emi, Atsuki Fujita, Yuki Okabe

Patent number: 10950560Abstract: Lands (11c and 11d) are parts of base plates (104c and 104d), and electrodes of a shunt resistor (103U) are put on and connected to the lands (11c and 11d). Slits (130 and 131) are formed in the lands (11c and 11d) to separate a main electric circuit in which a main current flows and control terminals (123 and 124) with which the electric potentials of the electrodes of the shunt resistor (103U) are detected. Leading end portions of the slits (130 and 131) extend to the vicinity of the electrodes of the shunt resistor (103U).Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Katsuhiko Omae, Masayuki Funakoshi, Kensuke Takeuchi

Patent number: 6570614Abstract: An electronic still camera in which taken images are recorded onto a memory card has an LCD for image display, a RAM for image storage and a switch for image selection. Photographing is started before a direction to start recording is provided by the user. Photographing is continued even after the direction is provided and a predetermined number of images taken over a period spanning before and after the direction to start recording is provided are stored in the RAM. The images stored in the RAM are successively displayed on the LCD and the images which the user determines to be necessary and specifies by operating the switch are recorded onto the memory card.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1998Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroaki Kubo, Katsuyuki Nanba, Naohiro Kageyama, Takuya Kishimoto, Masayuki Funakoshi
