  • Patent number: 8324780
    Abstract: An automotive dynamoelectric machine that achieves disposing of permanent magnets and thickening of field coil wire by disposing trough portions on yoke portions and disposing magnet holders that hold the permanent magnets so as to span the trough portions to ensure outlet space for field coil lead wires. In the dynamoelectric machine, trough portions are formed on respective portions of yoke portions between circumferentially adjacent claw-shaped magnetic pole portions, a magnet holder is disposed so as to span over a trough portion, and a permanent magnet is held by the magnet holder. A lead wire is led out of a rotor from a field coil so as to pass through a space that is bounded by the trough portion and the magnet holder.

    Abstract: To provide a thin film capacitor having a device structure for suppressing peeling between an insulating film and a substrate. A thin film capacitor 100 has a laminate structure that is formed by laminating a lower electrode 20, a dielectric film 30, and an upper electrode 40 in sequence on a substrate 10. An adhesion layer 41 is formed on a side surface of the lower electrode 20 via the dielectric film 30, and an insulating film 50 in contact with the adhesion layer 41 covers the laminate structure. According to this device structure, the adhesion layer 41 having excellent adhesiveness to the insulating film 50 is disposed between the insulating film 50 and the dielectric film 30, so that peeling of the insulating film 50 can be suppressed.
