Patents by Inventor Rene Boutterin

Rene Boutterin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4859520
    Abstract: The invention concerns a monolithic substrate for an electronic power component which is formed by a sintered stack of layers of dielectric material having an internal system of ducts for the circulation of a cooling fluid. The system is a closed system which opens at the surface of the substrate by way of two orifices which respectively provide for the intake of the pressurized fluid into the internal system of ducts and the removal thereof from said system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 9, 1988
    Date of Patent: August 22, 1989
    Assignee: Interconnexions Ceramiques
    Inventors: Jacques Dubuisson, Rene Boutterin

  • Patent number: 4663215
    Abstract: The substrate is formed by a stack of sheets of dielectric material (10) at least some of which have conductive patterns thereon (21-24); the substrate has conductive emerging portions (31, 32) for connecting the terminals of the component (1) to at least one internal layer provided with conductive tracks (24) providing layer-to-layer interconnection and interconnection with emerging portions in accordance with a pre-established patterns. According to the invention, the composition of the dielectric material comprises 92% to 98% alumina, and preferably 96%, with a melting agent based on magnesia titanate enabling the maximum firing temperature to be reduced to about 1400.degree. C. The conductive patterns are made of a non-oxidizable metal which is not meltable at high temperature, e.g. palladium or a silver-palladium alloy. The properties of the substrate obtained in this manner are comparable to those of a substrate made of 99.9% ultra-pure alumina.
