  • Patent number: 7612445
    Abstract: The likelihood of exfoliation of a sealing resin layer at a pad electrode part is reduced so that the reliability of a circuit apparatus is improved. A circuit apparatus includes a wiring layer, a gold plating layer, an insulating resin layer, a circuit element, a conductive member and sealing resin layer. The gold plating layer is formed in an wiring layer area for the pad electrode. The surface outside the area is roughened. The insulating resin layer is formed so as to cover the wiring layer and to have an opening in an area in which the pad electrode is formed. The circuit element is mounted on a predetermined area on the insulating resin layer. The sealing resin layer is formed on the insulating resin layer so as to entirely cover the circuit element and the opening for the pad electrode. The sealing resin layer, in the area for the pad electrode, is in contact with the gold plating layer and the wiring layer.

  • Patent number: 7439614
    Abstract: In a manufacturing method of a hybrid integrated circuit device 10 according to the present invention, a first dummy pattern D1 is provided on a first wiring layer 18A. Furthermore, a second dummy pattern D2 is provided on a second wiring layer 18B. The first dummy pattern D1 and the second dummy pattern D2 are connected through a connection part 25 which penetrates an insulation layer 17. Hence, heat dissipation through a dummy pattern can be actively performed. In addition, even in the cases where a multi-layered wiring is formed, it is possible to provide a circuit device which can secure a heat dissipation property.

  • Publication number: 20080236879
    Abstract: Provided are a circuit board with enhanced moisture resist and the method of manufacturing the circuit board, and a circuit device and a method of manufacturing the circuit device. A circuit board of the present invention includes: a substrate; wirings formed on the main surface of the substrate; a cover layer covering the wirings excluding the regions to be connectors; back electrodes formed on the bottom surface of the substrate; and through-hole electrodes formed so as to penetrate the substrate, and thereby connecting the wirings and the back electrodes. On surfaces of each of the wirings in this circuit board, convex portions on the periphery of the substrate are set larger in width than convex portions in a center portion of the substrate. With this configuration, adhesion reliability between the wirings and the cover layer under a thermal cycle load can be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7347475
    Abstract: An automobile rear body structure capable of allowing a space created between a rear bumper reinforcing member and a line connecting respective rear ends of a pair of rear side frames to be effectively utilized. In this automobile rear body structure, a rear end cross member (30) has an expanded portion (31a) formed to expand rearward relative to respective rear ends (10a) of a pairs of rear side frames (10), and a rear floor pan (20) has a rear edge including a protruded portion (21). The protruded portion (21) is formed to protrude relative to the rear ends (10a) of the pairs of rear side frames (10) toward the expanded portion of the rear end cross member (30) and connected to the rear end cross member (30), so as to allow a luggage compartment space to be enlarged rearward relative to the rear ends (10a) of the pairs of rear side frames (10).
