The integrated circuit device is mounted on the first surface side of the wiring substrate.

The heat radiation vias are formed in the wiring substrate to transmit heat generated by the integrated circuit device to the heat sink.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 27, 1998 and granted January 15, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 27, 2018.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 27, 2020.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
