  • Patent number: 7516901
    Abstract: With the RFID comprising a transmitting and receiving antenna, a detecting block formed in the circumference of the antenna, and an electronic component connected to the antenna and detecting block to detect breakdown of the detecting block, illegal use can be prevented, matching between the tag antenna and IC chip can also be attained with inclusion of the detecting means, and higher radiation and receiving characteristics of antenna can also be obtained without deterioration of antenna gain. Moreover, the RFID is very effective for keeping security because illegal use of the RFID tag through re-adhesion thereof to an item can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 7486191
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an RFID tag performing exchange of information with an external device without contact, and is to improve the resistance to bending while avoiding an increase in the thickness of the RFID tag. A circuit chip is bonded to a base portion of a base with a thermosetting adhesive. The base is folded, and an ultraviolet curing adhesive is applied on the circuit chip. The fold-back portions of the base are folded back onto the circuit chip, to which portions ultraviolet light is irradiated, as a result, both of the surfaces of the circuit chip are bonded to the base with the adhesives.

  • Patent number: 7436062
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving the underfill filling of a semiconductor chip element 100 which is ultrasonically bonded to and mounted on a circuit board. A semiconductor chip element 100 includes a silicon chip 101 and a group of stud bumps 117 formed on a bottom surface 101a of the chip 101. Signal stud bumps 113 are made of gold while power stud bumps 114, ground stud bumps 115 and dummy stud bumps 116 are all made of a gold-palladium alloy, which are harder than the signal stud bumps 113 and thus do not deform easily during ultrasonic treatment. Therefore, in a state in which the semiconductor chip element 100 is mounted, a gap of approximately 30 ?m is maintained between the bottom surface 101a of the chip 100 and a top surface of the circuit board 120 on which the semiconductor chip element 100 is mounted.

  • Patent number: 7394163
    Abstract: A method of mounting a semiconductor chip in which an IC chip is mounted by filling a gap between the chip and a substrate with adhesive which functions as an underfill. The fillet of the underfill is made to have a preferable shape. To accomplish this, a head IC chip provided with bumps is placed on a suspension that is covered with the underfill adhesive and is provided with pads. A bonding tool presses the head IC chip and applies ultrasonic oscillation to the head IC chip, so that the bumps are properly bonded to the pads. When the head IC chip is pressed and subjected to ultrasonic oscillation, the ultraviolet rays 108 are emitted so as to harden the peripheral portion 151a of the adhesive 151 spread out between the head IC chip 11 and the suspension 12.
