  • Patent number: 7163838
    Abstract: An improved method for fabricating a window frame/window piece assembly is disclosed in this application. A window frame having an opening in its inner portion is provided. According to one aspect, the window frame can be formed from a unitary piece of sheet metal. A transparent piece is attached to the inner portion of the window frame through a molding process. According to one embodiment, the window frame is placed within a mold such that the inner portion of the window frame projects into an inner cavity inside the mold. After the mold has been closed, a transparent material is injected into the inner cavity so that it bonds with the inner portion of the window frame. After the bond of between the transparent material and the window frame is set, the window frame/window piece assembly is removed from the mold. According to another embodiment, a plurality of window frames may be loaded into a single mold so that a plurality of window frame/window piece assemblies can be fabricated in a single batch.

  • Patent number: 7135754
    Abstract: In a chip type solid electrolytic capacitor including a capacitor element and a packaging resin covering the capacitor element, the packaging resin has a mount surface and a side surface adjacent to the mount surface. A terminal is electrically connected to the capacitor element and coupled to the packaging resin. The terminal extends along the mount surface and the side surface to have an outer surface exposed from the packaging resin and to have an inner surface opposite to the outer terminal surface. The inner surface has a stepwise shape formed by forging.

  • Patent number: 7132733
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor element; a die pad with the semiconductor element mounted thereon; a plurality of electrode terminals each having a connecting portion electrically connected with the semiconductor element; and a sealing resin for sealing the semiconductor element, the die pad and the electrode terminals so that a surface of each electrode terminal on an opposite side from a surface having the connecting portion is exposed as an external terminal surface. A recess having a planar shape of a circle is formed on the surface of each electrode terminal with the connecting portion, and the recess is arranged between an end portion of the electrode terminal exposed from an outer edge side face of the sealing resin and the connecting portion. While a function of the configuration for suppressing the peeling between the electrode terminal and the sealing resin can be maintained by mitigating an external force applied to the electrode terminal, the semiconductor device can be downsized.

  • Patent number: 6984877
    Abstract: A semiconductor package such as a bumped chip carrier (BCC) package has projections extending from a lower surface of a resin encapsulant. Each projection has a concave depression formed thereon. By reflowing a solder layer, external terminals are formed to cover the projections. An interface between the terminals and the projections increases in area, relative to conventional structures, because of the concave depressions. Therefore, the adhesive strength between the terminals and the projections also increases, and, when the BCC package is mounted on a next-level circuit board through the terminals, solder joint is also improved in reliability.
