Abstract:
A planar antenna has a circuit pattern including an antenna part and a connection terminal part on a plastic film, in which the circuit pattern has a metal layer and a heat-sealable conductive layer provided on a surface layer of a connection terminal part of the metal layer. The planar antenna is obtained by forming a circuit pattern including a metal layer on a plastic film, providing a heat-sealable conductive layer in a connection terminal part of the circuit pattern, and then removing an unnecessary part with etching.
Abstract:
An electrical component includes a base body made using ceramic, metallization surfaces that at least partly define component structures on the base body, a passivation layer that is electrically insulating and over a surface of the base body, solder contacts on the passivation layer, and through-hole contacts inside the base body that are electrically connected to corresponding metallization surfaces. The solder contacts are electrically connected to corresponding through-hole contacts through the passivation layer.
Abstract:
An LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramic) structure which has conductors to which leads are to be bonded for connection to external circuitry. The conductors include additives to promote adhesion to the ceramic layer. The presence of these additives degrade bonding performance. For better bondability of the leads, a pure conductor metal layer, devoid of the additives is placed on the conductors in areas where leads are to be bonded. This pure conductor metal layer may be cofired with the stack of ceramic layers or may be post fired after stack firing.

Abstract:
The present invention aims at providing an electronic component mounting apparatus and an electronic component mounting method that perform automated setting of a thickness of a paste film.The electronic component mounting apparatus of the present invention has a paste transfer unit 10 that horizontally, relatively moves a squeegee 11b and a transfer surface 13 with respect to each other, thereby spreading, over the transfer surface 13, a paste film 3 whose thickness is equivalent to the height of a squeegee gap “c” formed from clearance between the squeegee 11b and the transfer surface 13; a storage unit 18 that stores a database defining correlation among bump heights, paste types, and squeegee-gap heights; a computing unit 20 that derives, from the database, a squeegee-gap height G21 in correspondence with a height H1 of a bump of an electronic component to be mounted and a type P2 of paste to be transferred; and a vertical movement mechanism 16b that adjusts the height of the squeegee gap “c” formed from clearance between the squeegee 11b and the transfer surface 13 to a derived squeegee-gap height.
Abstract:
In a method of preparing a circuit pattern on a printed circuit board, reflow wiring is performed by printing the circuit pattern on an insulative board with an electroconductive coating material and printing a cream solder in a wiring pattern portion of the circuit pattern to form a metal conductor. Other portions of the printed, electroconductive coating material are arranged to function as any one of a resistor (R), a capacitor (C), and a coil (L), by taking advantage of the resistance and electrostatic capacitance of the electroconductive coating material.
