  • Patent number: 6930566
    Abstract: A nonreciprocal circuit element of the present invention comprises a first yoke and a second yoke that form a magnetic closed circuit. A plurality of chip capacitors with a first electrode and a second electrode are installed in the box-shaped second yoke. Subsequently, a circuit substrate used for the nonreciprocal circuit element can be smaller than conventional circuit substrates, and the assembly of the nonreciprocal circuit element is excellent. Further, since the capacitances of the chip capacitors can be adjusted through windows of the second yoke, the electrical performance of the nonreciprocal circuit element is excellent.

  • Patent number: 6774650
    Abstract: A probe card for testing a wafer having formed a plurality of semiconductor chips, the probe card including a board and a multi-layer substrate. The probe card may also include a flexible substrate. A contact electrode, located opposite from an electrode on one of the chips, is disposed above or below the flexible substrate, or may be provided on an elastic material on the multi-layered substrate. A first wiring has a first portion connected to the contact electrode, a level transitioning portion extending from a level of the first portion to the multi-layer substrate at a lower level, and a connecting terminal at an end of the level transitioning portion connected to an internal terminal on the multi-layered substrate. A second wiring in the multi-layered substrate connects the internal terminal to an external terminal at a periphery of the multi-layer substrate. A third wiring on the board connects the external terminal on the multi-layer substrate to an external connecting terminal on the board.
