  • Patent number: 9293446
    Abstract: A low profile module is provided that has a high functionality achieved by increasing the component mounting density. In spite of achieving high functionality in a module 100 by respectively mounting components such as a semiconductor substrate 104 and chip components 105 on the two main surfaces 101a and 101b of a wiring substrate 101, the low-profile module 100 can be provided which has a high functionality as a result of increasing its component mounting density by forming a thickness Ha of a first component layer 102 formed by mounting only the semiconductor substrate 104 face down on one main surface 101a of the wiring substrate 101 so as to be smaller than the thickness of a second component layer 103 formed by mounting a plurality of chip components 105 on the other main surface 101b of the wiring substrate 101.

  • Patent number: 9239052
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a back pressure chamber oil-feeding path for feeding lubricating oil from a high-pressure region to a back pressure chamber, and a compression chamber oil-feeding path for feeding lubricating oil from the back pressure chamber to a compression chamber. One phase in which the back pressure chamber oil-feeding path is communicated from the high-pressure region to the back pressure chamber and another phase in which the compression chamber oil-feeding path is communicated from the back pressure chamber to the compression chamber are shifted from each other, so that the back pressure chamber oil-feeding path and the compression chamber oil-feeding path are never put into the communicating state simultaneously. Thus, after a halt of the compressor, under-communication oil-feeding of the lubricating oil from the high-pressure region via the back pressure chamber to the compression chamber can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20150282327
    Abstract: The present disclosure enhances the design flexibility of a multilayer electronic device. A multilayer electronic device is formed by alternately stacking, in a top-bottom direction, substrate layers in which substrates are disposed and a component layer in which at least one component is disposed. A non-superposing region in which a substrate of a first substrate layer positioned on the upper side of a first component layer is not superposed on a substrate of a second substrate layer positioned on the lower side of the first component layer, as viewed from above, is formed in the substrate. Accordingly, within the multilayer electronic device, a space in which the substrate of the second substrate layer is not located can be formed in a region under the non-superposing region of the substrate of the first substrate layer. By using this space, the design flexibility of the multilayer electronic device can be enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20150103495
    Abstract: A plating layer of a Cu—M-based alloy (M represents Ni and/or Mn) is formed on an end surface of a connection terminal member at an exposed side, the Cu—M-based alloy being capable of generating an intermetallic compound with an Sn-based low-melting-point metal contained in a bonding material forming a bonding portion and having a lattice constant different from that of the intermetallic compound by 50% or more. In the reflow process, even if the bonding material is about to flow out by re-melting thereof, since the bonding material is brought into contact with the Cu—M-based plating layer, a high-melting-point alloy of the intermetallic compound is formed so as to block the interface between the connection terminal member and the resin layer.

  • Publication number: 20140182918
    Abstract: A module 100 can be precisely manufactured by mounting an electronic component 102 and a terminal assembly 10 having a simple configuration, in which a plurality of connection terminals 11 are supported by a support body 12, the configuration being highly precise, inexpensive, and new, on one principal surface of a wiring substrate; and by sealing the electronic component 102 and the terminal assembly 10 mounted on the one principal surface of the wiring substrate 101, with a first resin layer 103. Also, since the plurality of connection terminals 11 are merely supported by the support body 12, the support body 12 can be easily removed from the plurality of connection terminals 11. Accordingly, the manufacturing time of the module 100 is decreased.
