Owing to this construction, the heat generated in the semiconductor chip can be conducted away through the both surfaces of the chip, thus improving cooling performance. Since the heat is conducted away through the leg portions of the L-shaped electrically conductive plates a projected planar area occupied by the cooling plate required for cooling the semiconductor unit is reduced. Therefore, the size of the semiconductor unit can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kenichiro Sato

Patent number: 8710666Abstract: A semiconductor device which can prevent a deterioration in the electrical properties by preventing sputters generated by laser welding from adhering to a circuit pattern or a semiconductor chip and a method for fabricating such a semiconductor device are provided. A connection conductor is bonded to a copper foil formed over a ceramic by a solder and resin is injected to a level lower than a top of the connection conductor. Laser welding is then performed. After that, resin is injected. This prevents sputters generated by the laser welding from adhering to a circuit pattern or a semiconductor chip. As a result, a deterioration in the electrical properties can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2010Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignees: Aisin AW Co., Ltd., Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Junji Tsuruoka, Kazuo Aoki, Masaki Ono, Katsuhiko Yoshihara

Patent number: 8653636Abstract: A contactless communication medium which can prevent invasion of static electricity and has an outer surface which can satisfy requirements on the flatness thereof. The contactless communication medium has a sealing member including an insulating layer and a conductive layer provided in a stacked manner and having a shape covering an IC module is located such that the insulating layer is on the IC module side. Owing to this, static electricity coming from outside is diffused by the conductive layer and blocked by the insulating layer. Thus, adverse influence of the static electricity on the IC module is prevented. The contactless communication medium can also satisfy the requirements on the flatness of an outer surface thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2010Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Toppan Printing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Junsuke Tanaka, Yoshiyuki Mizuguchi
