Latest Patents
One of Hiroaki Inoue's latest patents is focused on electric equipment featuring a movable portion. This invention involves a complex manufacturing process where a seed metal layer of the first metal is utilized. The pedestal and counter electrode are formed from a second metal through plating, adjacent to a free space region filled with a first sacrificial layer. A resist pattern is used to create a second sacrificial metal layer, which extends from the first sacrificial layer to a portion of the pedestal. The lower structure of a third metal is formed on this second sacrificial layer through contiguous plating, exposing a part of the pedestal not covered by the second sacrificial layer. The third metal is designed to have a composition and thermal expansion coefficient equivalent to that of the second metal. Finally, an upper structure of a fourth metal, also matching the thermal properties of the second and third metals, is formed on the pedestal and lower structure by plating. The removal of the first and second sacrificial layers results in electric equipment with a movable portion. Another notable patent is for a packaged device that includes a device layer section and
