  • Publication number: 20190074236
    Abstract: In a power semiconductor device, the thickness dimension of a protective film of a semiconductor element is made smaller than that of an upper electrode, so a protective film is not pressed by being pressurized from upward when bonded by a metal sintered body, and the force of tearing off the upper electrode riding on an inclined surface of the protective film does not act, so that no crack of the upper electrode occurs, thus maintaining the soundness of the semiconductor element. Also, a lead bonded by a solder to the upper electrode of the semiconductor element is made of a copper-Invar clad material, the linear expansion coefficient of which is optimized, and thereby it is possible to realize a durability superior to that of a heretofore known wire-bonded aluminum wiring.

  • Patent number: 7599853
    Abstract: A method and system of arranging advertisements on a network for a potential media owner or affiliate to sell ad space on a network media to an advertiser. The advertiser's conditions and the affiliate's acceptance are made on the network through an agent's server. The server provides an invitation page for entry of the advertiser's conditions. The conditions are disclosed to the affiliate on the network. When the affiliate accepts the conditions on the network, the agent's server responds to make an advertisement contract, and allocates an advertiser's web site to the ad space of the network media. The number of the responses made to the advertisement is counted at the agent's server, which delivers statistical data of the counted responses on the network to the advertiser and the affiliate for determination of the payment and for evaluation of the effectiveness of the advertisement.
