Abstract

An electronic device includes a substrate and circuitry mounted thereon. In plan view in a thickness direction of the substrate, the first conductive portion includes a rounded convex corner, and the second conductive portion includes a concave corner facing the convex corner. Extensions of two straight lines contiguous to the convex corner intersect at a first apex of a convex angle. Extensions of two straight lines contiguous to the concave corner intersect at a second apex of a concave angle. A distance between a convex corner point and a concave corner point is greater than a distance between the first apex and the second apex, where the convex corner point is an intersection of a corner line passing through the first apex and the second apex, and the convex corner, and the concave corner point is an intersection of the corner line and the concave corner.

Claims (22)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a substrate; and

circuitry mounted on the substrate, the circuitry including a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion at a different potential from the first conductive portion, wherein, in plan view in a thickness direction of the substrate,

the first conductive portion includes a rounded convex corner, and the second conductive portion includes a concave corner facing the convex corner,

extensions of two straight lines forming a contour of the first conductive portion, contiguous to the convex corner, intersect at a first apex of a convex angle,

extensions of two straight lines forming a contour of the second conductive portion, contiguous to the concave corner, intersect at a second apex of a concave angle,

a distance between corners, which is a distance between a convex corner point and a concave corner point, is greater than a distance between apices, which is a distance between the first apex and the second apex, with the convex corner point being an intersection of a corner line, which is a straight line passing through the first apex and the second apex, and the convex corner, and the concave corner point being an intersection of the corner line and the concave corner,

the circuitry includes a drive circuit that drives a switch of an inverter and a control circuit that controls the drive circuit, and

the first conductive portion is a portion of the drive circuit and, the second conductive portion is a portion of the control circuit.

2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

a radius of curvature for the concave corner is less than a radius of curvature for the convex corner.

3 . The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein

the radius of curvature for the concave corner is less than or equal to 0.2 mm.

4 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

the concave corner substantially comprises an apex of a concave angle.

5 . An electronic device comprising:

a substrate; and

circuitry mounted on the substrate, the circuitry including a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion at a different potential from the first conductive portion, wherein, in plan view in a thickness direction of the substrate,

the first conductive portion includes a rounded convex corner,

the second conductive portion includes a concave corner facing the convex corner, the concave corner including a substantial apex of a concave angle,

the circuitry includes a drive circuit that drives a switch of an inverter and a control circuit that controls the drive circuit, and

the first conductive portion is a portion of the drive circuit and, the second conductive portion is a portion of the control circuit.
