Toshiaki Fukunaka 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: 7193288
    Abstract: A ultrathin magnetoelectric transducer and its manufacturing method are provided which enable the quality of mounting to be inspected nondestructively, and can reduce a footprint. The magnetoelectric transducer has a substrate composed of a nonmagnetic substrate, and includes bottom surface connecting electrodes whose leads have a first thickness, and side electrodes which are exposed by dicing and have the first thickness. A more sensitive Hall element has a high-permeability magnetic substrate as the substrate, and includes the bottom surface connecting electrodes whose leads have the first thickness, and the side electrodes exposed by the dicing and having the first thickness. The bottom surface connecting electrodes of the leads with the first thickness are formed across the internal electrodes of adjacent magnetoelectric transducers with maintaining the first thickness. The side electrodes with the first thickness are formed by cutting the center between the adjacent magnetoelectric transducers.

  • Patent number: 6724059
    Abstract: The present invention provides a thin magnetoelectric transducer which has a projected size substantially equal to that of a pellet and which can be subjected to an inspection test nondestructively. The magnetoelectric transducer has a semiconductor device provided on the upper surface of a projecting portion of a projecting nonmagnetic insulating substrate 9 and comprising a magnetosensitive section 3 and inner electrodes 2 made of metal. A conductive resin layer 4 is formed on the internal electrodes 2 and on part of the side surfaces of the projecting portion. A strain buffering layer 5 is formed at least on the magnetosensitive section 3. Furthermore, at least the strain buffering layer 5 on the magnetosensitive section 3 is coated with a protective layer 6.

  • Patent number: 4874438
    Abstract: An intermetallic compound semiconductor thin film comprises a single crystalline deposition thin film made of a III-V group intermetallic compound having a stoichiometry composition ratio of 1:1. When forming the III-V group semiconductor thin film by an evaporation method, a substrate temperature is initially maintained at a high level while the evaporation source temperature is gradually raised, and when the intermetallic composition of the III-V group begins to deposit on the substrate, the substrate temperature is lowered while the evaporation source temperature is maintained at the same level as existed at the time when the intermetallic compound is deposited, and the deposition time is controlled.
