Patent number: 7291517Abstract: Using a dry film resist that is a photosensitive resin, a resin mask layer is formed around electrodes on a substrate. A solder precipitating composition is applied on the substrate, and this solder precipitating composition is heated to precipitate solder on the surface of the electrodes. Subsequently, in removing the resin mask layer, at least one selected from glycol ethers and aminoalcohols is used. Thereby, the resin mask layer is removed after heating process. This makes it possible to easily remove the heat-processed resin mask layer in a short period of time without damaging solder resist and solder bumps on the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2005Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Harima Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Hitoshi Sakurai, Kimihiro Abe, Norio Matsumoto

Patent number: 6814845Abstract: Improved biosensors are provided having excellent selectivity and stability properties, together with methods of preparing the biosensors. A preferred biosensor includes an electrode (12) having enzyme (16) deposited thereon together with a layer of electropolymerized polymer (18) intermingled with the enzyme (16); a crosslinked silane film (20) is applied over the polymer layer (18), and a final coating (22) of polyurethane is formed over the film (20). In preparative procedures, the enzyme (16) is electrodeposited using an aqueous enzyme solution containing a nonionic surfactant at a concentration level preferably in excess of the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant. In the case of a glucose sensor, the polymer layer (18) is preferably polyphenol, while the silane film is crosslinked (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane. The preferred biosensors have greatly enhanced selectivity stabilities.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2001Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: University of KansasInventors: George S.
