  • Publication number: 20240112991
    Abstract: A semiconductor module includes: a stacked substrate; a semiconductor element arranged on an upper surface of the first circuit board; a metal wiring board including a first bonding portion bonded to an upper surface of the semiconductor element with a bonding material; and a sealing resin that seals the stacked substrate, the semiconductor element, and the metal wiring board. The first bonding portion includes a plate-shaped portion having an upper surface and a lower surface. The metal wiring board has a first standing portion standing up from one end of the first bonding portion, and a second standing portion standing up from the other end of the first bonding portion. The first standing portion constitutes a part of a wiring path through which a main current flows. The second standing portion constitutes a non-wiring path through which the main current does not flow.

  • Publication number: 20160283062
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a program that causes a computer to execute a process. The process includes displaying pointers indicating inspection points on a map of a facility, displaying a first input screen for receiving an inspection result of an inspection point corresponding to a first pointer of the pointers, receiving an input that is an instruction for switching to another screen from the first input screen, and in response to the input, allowing the first input screen to be switched to a second input screen for receiving an inspection result of an inspection point corresponding to a second pointer of the pointers that precedes the first pointer in a predetermined order of inspection.
