  • Patent number: 11864317
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a circuit substrate includes forming, in an insulating substrate and circuit patterns that are provided on a first surface and a second surface of the insulating substrate, a through-hole penetrating the insulating substrate and the circuit patterns, where the circuit patterns contain Cu as a main component. The method includes filling, in the through-hole, an electrically conductive paste that is a melting-point shift electrically conductive paste including Sn—Bi solder powder, Cu powder, and resin, and forming a protrusion obtained by causing the electrically conductive paste to protrude from the through-hole. The method further includes performing pressure treatment on the protrusion near the through-hole; and performing heat treatment on the insulating substrate whose protrusion is subjected to the pressure treatment and causing the circuit patterns and the electrically conductive paste to be electrically connected with each other.

  • Patent number: 7424728
    Abstract: A disk drive is provided for restraining deterioration of the verticality of the optical axis of an optical pickup in relation to the surface of the disk when the side of the disk to be scanned for the recording and/or reproducing action is alternated from one side to the other side, in recording and/or reproducing data signals on both sides of the disk. The disk drive (1) includes a turn table (11) on which a disk D is rotatably supported, a pickup (12) for recording and/or reproducing data signals on both sides of the disk D rotated by the turn table (11), and a disk tray (31) for transferring the disk D between a recording and reproducing position which confronts the turn table (11) and a loading and unloading position at the outside of the disk drive (1). A turning movement mechanism is provided for turning the turn table (11) and the pickup (12) at once from a first position which confronts the one side of the disk D to a second position which confronts the other side of the disk D or vice versa.
