Patent number: 9324491Abstract: An inductor device includes a layer-laminated member with laminated base-material layers and a coil with a winding axis coincident with a direction of layer lamination, a smaller-thickness portion near one end portion thereof in the direction of layer lamination, and a greater-thickness portion with more base-material layers than that in the smaller-thickness portion. The coil is located in the greater-thickness portion. The coil is connected, at its one end positioned near one end portion of the layer-laminated member, to a conductor pattern in the smaller-thickness portion. The coil is connected, at its other end positioned near the other end portion of the layer-laminated member, to a conductor pattern in a base-material layer located near the other end portion of the layer-laminated member. The conductor patterns are located at respective different positions in the direction of layer lamination.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2015Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kuniaki Yosui

Patent number: 8987889Abstract: An integrated electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield for a semiconductor module package. The integrated EMI shield includes a plurality of wirebond springs electrically connected between a ground plane in the substrate of the package and a conductive layer printed on the top of the package mold compound. The wirebond springs have a defined shape that causes a spring effect to provide contact electrical connection between the tops of the wirebond springs and the conductive layer. The wirebond springs can be positioned anywhere in the module package, around all or some of the devices included in the package, to create a complete EMI shield around those devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Skyworks Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Lawrence Welch, Yifan Guo

Patent number: 8987871Abstract: A cap for a microelectromechanical system device includes a first layer of, e.g., Bismaleimide Triazine (BT) resin material in which a through-aperture is formed, laminated to a second layer of BT resin material that closes the aperture in the first layer, forming a cavity. The first and second layers are laminated with a thermosetting adhesive that is sufficiently thick to encapsulate particles that may remain from a routing operation for forming the apertures. The interior of the cavity, including exposed portions of the adhesive, and the exposed face of the first layer are coated with an electrically conductive paint. The cap is adhered to a substrate over the MEMS device using an electrically conductive adhesive, which couples the conductive paint layer to a ground plane of the substrate. The layer of conductive paint serves as a shield to prevent or reduce electromagnetic interference acting on the MEMS device.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: STMicroelectronics Pte Ltd.Inventors: Jerome Teysseyre, Glenn de los Reyes, Wee Chin Judy Lim

Patent number: 8987921Abstract: A method for producing a component with at least one micro-structured or nano-structured element includes applying at least one micro-structured or nano-structured element to a carrier. The element has at least one area configure to make contact and the element is applied to the carrier such that the at least one area adjoins the carrier. The element is enveloped in an enveloping compound and the element-enveloping compound composite is detached from the carrier. A first layer comprising electrically conductive areas is applied to the side of the element-enveloping compound composite that previously adjoined the carrier. At least one passage is introduced into the enveloping compound. A conductor layer is applied to the surface of the passage and at least to a section of the layer comprising the first electrically conductive areas to generate a through contact, which enables space-saving contacting. A component is formed from the method.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2011Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Ulrike Scholz, Ralf Reichenbach
