  • Patent number: 8622594
    Abstract: A light emitting element module with a high yield where a portion through which a substrate and a lens are bonded can be prevented from cracking and peeling due to thermal expansion is provided. A light emitting element part equipped with a light emitting element and an optical lens for diffusing light from the light emitting element are provided on a substrate in the light emitting element module, where the lens is fixed to the substrate with an adhesive resin having a tensile breaking elongation of 50% or more. The lens also has a plurality of supports and is fixed to the substrate through these supports, so that stress in the portion where the substrate and the lens are bonded can be dispersed between the supports, and a layer in which air can circulate so as to release heat is provided between the substrate and the lens.

  • Patent number: 7906856
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor chip provided with an insulating layer formed so as to be thinner in a first secondary-wire-free area than in a first secondary-wire-containing area. Further, the semiconductor chip has an edge extending further outward than a side wall, which severs as an edge of an upper insulating layer, in an extending direction of a circuit-forming surface of the semiconductor chip on which electrode pads are provided. This makes it possible to provide a semiconductor device capable of suppressing electromagnetic interference between a secondary wire and an electronic circuit of a semiconductor chip and the curvature of a wafer even in the case of overlap between the secondary wire and the electronic circuit, and of reducing the risk of occurrence of chipping in a dicing step.
