  • Publication number: 20230097971
    Abstract: Provided is a method including: preparing a substrate having a first surface; preparing a wavelength conversion layer that converts a light of a first wavelength band into a light of a second wavelength band different from the light of the first wavelength band; preparing a bonding material including a metal fine particle and a surface stabilizer formed at a surface of the metal fine particle and decomposed by oxygen; forming a protective film protecting the first surface while the protective film generates a gas containing hydrogen; releasing, from one of the protective film and the substrate, the gas occluded by the one of the protective film and the substrate in the forming of the protective film; and bonding the substrate and the wavelength conversion layer via the bonding material by metal sintering.

  • Patent number: 8912031
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a vibrator disposed within a cavity on a substrate and electrically driven; an enclosure wall which has electric conductivity and sections the cavity from an insulation layer surrounding the circumference of the cavity; a first wiring and a second wiring which connect with the vibrator and penetrate the enclosure wall; and a liquid flow preventing portion disposed at the position where the first wiring and the second wiring penetrate the enclosure wall to prevent flow of etchant dissolving the insulation layer from the cavity toward the insulation layer and insulate the first wiring and the second wiring from the enclosure wall.
