  • Patent number: 8072769
    Abstract: A component-embedded module includes a module substrate having wiring electrodes on the upper surface thereof, first circuit components mounted on the wiring electrodes, a sub-module disposed on an area on which no wiring electrodes are provided, and an insulating resin layer provided on substantially the entire upper surface of the module substrate such that the insulating resin layer covers at least a portion of the first circuit components and sub-module. The second circuit components including an integrated circuit element are mounted on the sub-module or embedded therein. Via conductors are provided through the module substrate from the lower surface thereof and are directly coupled to terminal electrodes on the lower surface of the sub-module. By using a substrate having a wiring greater accuracy than that of the module substrate, a reliable component-embedded module is obtained.

  • Patent number: 8064212
    Abstract: In a hybrid integrated circuit device that uses a metal substrate, a sound noise is prevented, which would otherwise be generated due to transmission, to the metal substrate, of vibration caused when a ceramic capacitor expands and contracts by switching ON and OFF a transistor. For improving a heat dissipation effect, a switching transistor driven by a driving pulse and a ceramic capacitor connected to the switching transistor are incorporated on a conductive path on an insulated metal substrate. Both ends of the ceramic capacitor are fixed to the conductive path by solders which are covered with a hard resin to be protected from a solder crack by thermal expansion of the metal substrate. The ceramic capacitor and the hard resin are wholly covered with a soft resin which absorbs noise due to expansion caused when the ceramic capacitor is switched, so that the metal substrate is prevented from resonating.

  • Patent number: 8035036
    Abstract: A complementary mirror image embedded planar resistor architecture is provided. In the architecture, a complementary hollow structure is formed on a ground plane or an electrode plane to minimize the parasitic resistance, so as to efficiently enhance the application frequency. In addition, in some cases, some signal transmission lines pass through the position below the embedded planar resistor, and if there is no shield at all, serious interference or cross talk phenomenon occurs. Therefore, the complementary hollow structure of the ground plane, the electrode plane, or a power layer adjacent to the embedded planar resistor is designed to be a mesh structure, so as to reduce the interference or cross talk phenomenon. In this manner, the whole resistor structure has preferable high frequency electrical characteristic in the circuit.
