  • Patent number: 7399321
    Abstract: In a method of reflow soldering, a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is discharged to a first discharge voltage different from a second discharge voltage at an inflection point in a discharge curve of the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having an axis of abscissa representing discharge capacity and an axis of ordinate representing discharge voltage. The discharged non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is placed on a substrate which is then exposed to a reflow soldering temperature to reflow solder the non-aqueous secondary battery to the substrate. The first discharge voltage is higher than the second discharge voltage to prevent degradation of characteristics of the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery resulting from decomposition of the non-aqueous electrolyte due to reaction of the non-aqueous electrolyte with excessive lithium ions in the cathode active material when the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is exposed to the reflow soldering temperature.

  • Publication number: 20050167474
    Abstract: In a nonaqueous-electrolyte secondary-battery that is soldered to a circuit board by a reflow soldering process, there has been a problem that when a secondary battery that requires discharging a after assembling the battery that requires discharging after assembling the battery is subjected to reflow, battery characteristics degrade due to heat treatment. Discharge voltage at the end of the discharging is made to be higher than a discharge voltage value that is an inflectional value at the end of a voltage plateau region indicating a cell reaction in a discharge curve (discharge capacity in abscissa and discharge voltage in ordinate) of initial discharge, thereby degradation of the battery characteristics due to the reflow hear treatment can be suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20040219424
    Abstract: Heat in a reflow soldering may cause a reaction between the electrolyte liquid and the positive or negative pole active material to result in a rapid inflation or a burst in a battery. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery of a high capacity adaptable to reflow soldering can be produced by employing a positive pole active material or a negative pole active material constituted of particles coated with an oil repellent material.

  • Publication number: 20040185586
    Abstract: When trying to check the lamination structure of devices advanced in scaling and integration, SEM observation is insufficient in resolution. TEM observation presents a problem such that high throughputs cannot be achieved because it is required to prepare a sample for TEM observation. To include: a focused ion beam apparatus for processing a sample surface and preparing a sample chip; a pick-up apparatus for picking up the sample chip; a sample chip holder for securing the sample chip picked up; an argon ion beam irradiating apparatus for etching a surface of the sample chip secured to the sample chip holder with an argon ion beam; and a SPM for observing the surface of the sample chip secured to the sample chip holder.

  • Patent number: 6625008
    Abstract: An electrical double layer capacitor has an electrolyte included of a non-aqueous solvent and a supporting salt dissolved in the non-aqueous solvent. A pair of polarizing electrodes are disposed in confronting relation with one another. A separator is disposed between the polarizing electrodes. The supporting salt contained in the electrolyte exists only in regions proximate a surface of the polarizing electrodes when the electrical double layer capacitor is fully charged. When the electrical double layer capacitor is charged at 3.3 V for 24 hours, a charged current after 24 hours is in the range of from about 5 &mgr;A/cm2 to about 22 &mgr;A/cm2 per unit area of the polarizing electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20030128499
    Abstract: An electrical double layer capacitor which causes no liquid leakage and capacity decrease due to the side reactions of the electrolyte and has a very low leak current. It holds an electrolyte which contains the supporting salt in such an amount that the ionized supporting salt in the electrolyte mostly migrates close to the surface of the electrode in the fully charged state, so that the electrolyte becomes almost an insulator when the electrical double layer has been formed by full charging. In addition, the positive electrode has a smaller capacity than the negative electrode, so that the capacitor has a high withstanding voltage.
