  • Patent number: 11122693
    Abstract: Described are processes for developing laminated circuit boards, as well as the resulting circuit boards themselves. Accordingly, at least two circuit boards at least partially overlap each other, and at least one through-hole is formed in an overlapping region thereof. The through-hole is filled with an electrically-conductive material, forming a through-via that enables the circuit boards to be electrically connected. When a circuit on each circuit board is laid out so that a part thereof reaches a region in which the through-via is to be formed, then that part of the circuit can be electrically connected to the through-via. Thus, portions of the circuits on the circuit boards can be electrically connected to each other via common through-vias to realize an integrated device in which the circuits on the laminated circuit boards function.

  • Patent number: 11114950
    Abstract: A line length between an input end of a switching circuit and a high frequency capacitor is shorter than a line length between an output end of a DC power supply and the high frequency capacitor. A current path going through the switching circuit and the high frequency capacitor is the shortest among a plurality of current paths through which a switching current is caused to flow by switching at the switching circuit. Furthermore, the high frequency capacitor makes the ratio of time during which the voltage across the high-side switch element changes by a switching operation of the high-side switch element and the ratio of time during which the voltage across the low-side switch element changes by a switching operation of the low-side switch element the same, and thus reduces a harmonic wave current included in a current output from the high frequency power generation circuit.

  • Patent number: 11088087
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a micro module with a support structure. The micro module includes a carrier substrate having contacts and a bonding pad, a semiconductor die, and a support structure. The semiconductor die is positioned on the bonding pad and is electrically coupled to the contacts. The support structure is positioned on the bonding pad and adjacent to the semiconductor die. The support structure reinforces the bonding pad such that the bonding pad is more rigid than flexible. As a result, an external force applied to the micro module is less likely to cause the micro module to bend and damage the semiconductor die.
