Patents by Inventor Yohei Kurashima

Yohei Kurashima 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: 6812549
    Abstract: A conductive material is provided to an open end of a penetrating hole penetrating through at least a semiconductor element, on the side of a first surface of the semiconductor element. The conductive material is melted to flow into the penetrating hole. The conductive material is made to flow into the penetrating hole in a state that an atmospheric pressure on the side of a second surface of the semiconductor element opposite to the first surface is lower than an atmospheric pressure on the side of the first surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2004
    Assignee: Seiko Epson Corporation
    Inventors: Kazushige Umetsu, Yohei Kurashima, Jun Amako
  • Patent number: 6608371
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: a first step of forming a first through hole that penetrates the location of the electrode in a semiconductor element having an electrode; a second step of providing an insulating material in a region including an inside of the first through hole, in such a manner that a second through hole is provided penetrating through the insulating material; and a third step of providing a conductive member within the second through hole that penetrates through at least the insulating material in the inside of the first through hole.

  • Patent number: 6158648
    Abstract: High frequency electrical discharge or nonpolar discharge using microwaves is generated in a gas that is introduced into a gas duct formed by a dielectric material, such as glass or ceramic. Surface treatment is applied to the components, which are under atmospheric pressure, by exposing them to the gas flow containing the active species generated by the above mentioned electrical discharge. Components are soldered before, during, or after the application of this surface treatment. The surface of the components is exposed to the active species by either directly exposing the components to the electrical discharge, or by blasting the reactive gas flow containing the active species at them. By selecting an appropriate gas for generating the active species, it is possible to improve the wettability of the surface of the component to be soldered, or to remove the organic substances or the oxide film.
