  • Patent number: 10958860
    Abstract: A method includes preparing a circuit board that includes a first metal pattern over a first face side of the substrate, a first electrode in a periphery of the first metal pattern, a second electrode over a second face side of the substrate, and a second metal pattern thermally connected to the first metal pattern and in which an electronic device is fixed on the first metal pattern and an electronic component is electrically connected to the second electrode, and connecting the first electrode and a third electrode of the electronic device by a bonding wire with the electronic device being heated. By a board support stage, the electronic device is heated by transferring heat to the electronic device via the second and then first metal pattern with the circuit board being supported to form a space including the electronic component between the second face and the board support stage.

  • Patent number: 7955509
    Abstract: There is disclosed a manufacturing method in which depths of individual liquid chambers can be set to be small. The manufacturing method is a manufacturing method of a liquid discharge head having a liquid chamber which communicates with a discharge port for discharging a liquid, and includes: etching a first Si layer of an SOI substrate by use of an insulating layer as an etching stop layer to form the liquid chamber at the first Si layer, the SOI substrate being constituted by the first Si layer, the insulating layer and a second Si layer in this order; and removing a part or all of the second Si layer.

  • Patent number: 6666943
    Abstract: A device is formed by transferring a film onto a substrate when the film requires but the substrate is not adapted to a high temperature heat treatment process. The film having layers and formed on a first substrate having layers is transferred onto a second substrate having layers. The method of transferring the film comprises a first step of forming a lift-off layer and the film to be transferred on the first substrate, a second step of bonding the film to be transferred to the second substrate and a third step of separating the film to be transferred from the first substrate by etching the lift-off layer and transferring it onto the second substrate.
