PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize high-precision alignment expected between a plurality of chips or between a substrate and chips.SOLUTION: A combination of a plurality of studs is created for regulating relative movement of a plurality of chips in a lateral direction in the case where a solder bump is melted between the plurality of chips. For each of the plurality of chips, the combination of the plurality of studs having a predetermined width is created at a position where any solder bump is defined as a reference in the arrangement of a plurality of solder bumps disposed between the plurality of chips in accordance with a pitch of the plurality of solder bumps in such a manner that the plurality of solder bumps set to each of the plurality of chips are aligned within a predetermined range by regulating the relative movement of the plurality of chips even in the case where the plurality of chips are moved relatively to each other by melting of the plurality of solder bumps.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain solder bump connection with low stress so as to reduce stress to be applied on a silicon chip even in structure that a low-k material with low (fragile) mechanical strength is used for an interlayer insulation film of the silicon chip.SOLUTION: A square silicon chip (with thickness of 725 μm) and a laminate layer (with thickness of 1000 μm) are connected with each other by hardening after melting of a plurality of two-dimensionally arranged solder bumps between the square silicon chip and the laminate layer via a low-k layer (insulation layer of a wiring layer (BEOL)) which is arranged on the square silicon chip, and as a laminate, a plurality of partial solder bumps arranged from the circumference of the square silicon chip (equivalent to its four sides) to the inside to predetermined rate are adjusted by putting fillers to them so that degrees of elasticity become relatively lower than those of plurality of solder bumps at other parts.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the amount of optical loss at six planes of a core intersection space (typically having a rectangular parallelepiped shape) formed by intersection of a plurality of optical waveguide cores.SOLUTION: In an intersection structure comprising a plurality of cores 2 and a clad 3 that surrounds the cores 2, the same material as that of the cores 2 is added to two planes, i.e., upper and lower planes, of intersection spaces where the plurality of cores 2 intersect (instead of using a clad material). In an alternative intersection structure comprising cores 2 and a clad 3, four planes that divide (isolate) the intersection spaces where the plurality of cores 2 intersect, that is, four discontinuity spaces 6 between the core intersection space and the cores connected thereto, are filled with the same material as that of the clad 3 (instead of using a core material so as to be connected seamlessly).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a full color liquid crystal display using a photoluminescence(PL) fiber. SOLUTION: New architecture simplifies an LCD manufacture process by substituting a photolithography step for color filter manufacture to a fiber spinning technique at low cost and with high throughput. The new LCD architecture has the power efficiency higher than a conventional LCD. Following structures are included in the three structures of the LCD device using a photoluminescence(PL) fiber array. The first structure having the PL fiber array located behind an LC shutter (to a user), the second structure having the PL fiber array located on the LC shutter, and the third structure where the PL fiber array in located in an LC cell outside. In one of the structures of these, the fiber not only emits light, but performs the polarization of incident light.
