  • Patent number: 8048719
    Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of preventing contact between electrode terminals and a die pad as well as capable of surely performing wire bonding to the electrode terminals. A passive component is formed such that a vertical height of each electrode terminal is higher than that of an element part. More specifically, each cross-sectional area of the electrode terminals is slightly larger than that of the element part. Therefore, an upper part and lower part of each electrode terminal are slightly higher than (project from) the element part. Through an adhesive, the passive component is fixed such that the element part is located on the high position part so as to be nearly parallel to a substrate surface. Further, a part of each electrode terminal (bottom part) is located in each space within concave parts. Thus, a predetermined space is formed between each of the electrode terminals and the die pad.

  • Publication number: 20110075785
    Abstract: An object is to reduce radiation exposure in a nuclear plant. A nuclear plant 1 is a nuclear power generating plant where steam is generated by thermal energy generated by nuclear fission of a nuclear fuel 2C in a nuclear reactor 2, and a turbine 8 is driven by the steam to generate heat by a power generator 10. After a nuclear plant 1 is newly constructed, when a primary cooling system of the nuclear reactor 2 raises the temperature to around a power operation temperature for the first time, zinc is injected into a primary coolant C1 present in the primary cooling system by a zinc injector 20.
