According to an embodiment, a battery includes an exterior container, a lid member, a plurality of electrode groups, a first lead, a second lead, and an electrode terminal. The lid member closes an opening of an inner cavity of the exterior container, and the plurality of electrode groups are stored in the inner cavity. A first current collecting tab protruding toward the lid member in a first electrode is joined with the first lead, and a second current collecting tab protruding toward the lid member in the second electrode different from the first electrode is joined with the second lead separate from the first lead. The first and second leads are together connected to the electrode terminal exposed on an outer surface of the lid member.

Battery

An electroplating method according to an embodiment is a electroplating method of generating a metal film on a cathode surface by setting a negative potential to a cathode of an anode and the cathode provided in a reaction bath, including mixing and accommodating a plating solution containing at least plated metal ions, an electrolyte, and a surface active agent and a supercritical fluid in the reaction bath and applying a current in a concentration of the supercritical fluid and a cathode current density in which a polarization resistance obtained from a cathode polarization curve while the plated metal ions are reduced is larger than before the supercritical fluid is mixed.

Optical semiconductor device and method of manufacturing optical semiconductor device

A semiconductor device-manufacturing method includes a laminated wafer formation step and a dicing step. In the laminated wafer formation step, a metal plate is first laid on one side of a wafer with a solder material interposed, and then the metal plate and the wafer are subjected to decompression pressing to form a one-piece structure. As a result, a laminated wafer is obtained. In the dicing step, the laminated wafer is diced into laminated chips.
