Publication number: 20130234304Abstract: When a material of an organic substrate is glass epoxy and a material of a semiconductor chip is silicon or gallium arsenide, a substrate warp sometimes occurs because of a difference between thermal expansion coefficients of the materials. The shape of the antenna formed on the organic substrate due to such a substrate warp, so that the characteristics of the antenna are sometimes shifted from desired values. An antenna is provided on the substrate on which a semiconductor chip is mounted, and is covered with a resin. The resin has enough hardness to suppress the warp caused by joining the semiconductor chip and the substrate and a transformation of the antenna. By changing a connection relation of adjustment vias after the manufacture of the semiconductor device, the characteristic of the antenna can be changed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2013Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicant: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventor: Naoya Tamaki

Patent number: 7504837Abstract: The characteristics of an object are measured using an electrical characteristics measurement device in which a probe includes a signal terminal, a ground terminal, and a variable resistance element is connected via a coaxial cable to a measuring instrument. The calibration of the probe entails adjusting the resistance value of the variable resistance element, setting the impedance of the distal end vicinity of the probe essentially to zero, and establishing a match with the coaxial cable and measuring instrument. When the electrical characteristics of the object are measured, the resistance value of the variable resistance element is varied in accordance with the impedance created by the side of the circuit containing the measurement object as viewed from the contact between the object and the signal terminal and ground terminal, and the input impedance of the probe is set to a value that does not affect the operation of the object.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2004Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Naoya Tamaki, Eiji Hankui

Patent number: 6396264Abstract: A triplate stripline on a multilayer circuit board includes an inner conductor sandwiched between two ground patterns having a finite pattern width that is 10 times the pattern width of said inner conductor or less. The two ground patterns are short-circuited on opposite transverse ends thereof by a plurality of vias disposed in a longitudinal direction which is a signal transmitting direction of the stripline. An adjacent stripline is of the same structure as the triplate stripline. Each of the striplines has a cross-sectional shape in which one inner conductor is surrounded by the two ground patterns and the vias on the opposite sides. The inner conductor is thus prevented from suffering ambient electromagnetic noise and electromagnetic interference such as crosstalk or the like.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2000Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Naoya Tamaki, Norio Masuda
