Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to an electronic circuit device and, more particularly, to a method of forming an electronic module as an electronic circuit device, which consists of electronic parts and wires, and an electronic circuit device formed by such a method. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Conventionally, there is known an electronic circuit device having a structure in which electronic parts are mounted on a flexible printed circuit board. An example of such an electronic circuit device is shown in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2001-210998. The electronic circuit device disclosed in the above-mentioned patent document is formed by mounting electronic parts onto a baseboard that is supported by being attached to a reinforcing board, which is removed after the electronic parts are mounted onto the baseboard. According to the above-mentioned forming method of electronic circuit devices, the flexible baseboard can be easily handled during the mounting process of the electronic parts and the conveyance process before or after the mounting process since the baseboard is supported by the reinforcing board. Additionally, the electronic parts can be reliably mounted onto the baseboard by appropriately removing the reinforcing board after the mounting process. 
     In recent years, with an improvement in performance of electronic equipments, the number of parts (elements) mounted on an electronic circuit device has been increased, which results in an increase in an occupied area (footprint) of the electronic circuit device. However, a reduction in a space in which an electronic equipment is installed is required even under such a condition. In the above-mentioned conventional electronic circuit device having the baseboard on which the electronic parts are mounted, there is a limitation in miniaturization and reduction in footprint even if a flexible circuit board is used as the baseboard. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     It is a general object of the present invention to provide an improved and useful electronic circuit device in which the above-mentioned problems are eliminated. 
     A more specific object of the present invention is to provide an electronic circuit device having high-flexibility to reduce a footprint thereof and a method of forming such an electronic circuit device. 
     In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, there is provided according to the present invention a method of forming an electronic circuit device having an electronic module including electronic parts and wires, the method comprising: forming the electronic module by mounting the electronic parts to the wires formed on a baseboard; removing the baseboard from the electronic module; deforming the electronic module that lacks the baseboard; and fixing a configuration of the deformed electronic module. 
     According the present invention, the baseboard is removed from the electronic module, which is formed by mounting the electronic parts onto the wires formed on the baseboard, while the electronic parts are connected to the wires. After the baseboard is removed from the baseboard, the electronic module contains only the electronic parts and the wires interconnecting the electronic parts. Accordingly, the electronic circuit apparatus does not have the baseboard, and a space occupied by the baseboard is omitted, which reduces the size of the electronic circuit device. Moreover, since the electronic module from which the baseboard is removed can be deformed without being restrained by the baseboard, the electronic circuit device can be formed into a configuration corresponding to a configuration of a space or location in which the electronic circuit device is installed. 
     In the above-mentioned method, the baseboard may be formed of a water-soluble material, and the baseboard may be removed from the electronic module by dissolving the baseboard in water. 
     Additionally, in the method according to the present invention, after removing the baseboard from the electronic module and before deforming the electronic module, a configuration of the electronic module may be maintained by covering the electronic module by a visco-elastic material. Further, in the method according to the present invention, after removing the baseboard from the electronic module and before deforming the electronic module, a configuration of the electronic module may be maintained by covering the electronic module by a metal foil. Alternatively, in the method according to the present invention, after removing the baseboard from the electronic module and before deforming the electronic module, a configuration of the electronic module may be maintained by covering the electronic module by a silicone rubber. 
     According to the above-mentioned invention, the entire electronic module after the baseboard is removed is reinforced by the visco-elastic material, the metal foil or the silicon rubber. Thus, the electronic module can be given a certain degree of strength during a process of deforming the electronic module with an appropriate flexibility so that the electronic module can be freely deformed. 
     Additionally, in the method according to the present invention, when fixing the configuration of the deformed electronic module, a resin may be applied onto the deformed electronic module so as to seal the entire electronic module. Accordingly, the resin applied to the electronic module can serve as a member that gives a strength to the electronic module to fix the configuration thereof and also serves as a sealing member that protects the electronic parts and the wires. 
     Additionally, there is provided according to another aspect of the present invention an electronic circuit device comprising an electronic module that includes an assembly of electronic parts and wires, the electronic circuit device being formed by removing a baseboard from the assembly of the electronic parts and the wires so as to form the electronic module, deforming the electronic module, and fixing a configuration of the deformed electronic module. 
     Further, there is provided according to another aspect of the present invention an electronic circuit device comprising: an electronic module including a plurality of electronic parts and wires interconnecting the electronic parts; and an insulating coat that substantially covers the entire electronic module and fixes a configuration of the electronic module, wherein the electronic module is deformed into a configuration corresponding to an uneven part on which the electronic circuit device is installed. 
     Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     A description will now be given, with reference to  FIGS. 1A ,  1 B and  1 C and  FIGS. 2A and 2B , of a first embodiment of the present invention.  FIGS. 1A ,  1 B and  1 C are plan views of an electronic circuit device  20  according to the first embodiment of the present invention.  FIGS. 2A and 2B  are side views of the electronic circuit device  20 .  FIGS. 1A ,  1 B and  1 C and  FIGS. 2A and 2B  show states of the electronic circuit device in the process of formation in time series. 
     The electronic circuit device  20  comprises a plurality of electronic parts  22  that are elements such as a capacitor, a resistor or an integrated circuit (IC) and wires  24  that are conductive material interconnecting the electronic parts. The electronic circuit device  20  finally has a structure, which does not have a baseboard that supports the electronic parts  22 . That is, the electronic circuit device  20  finally consists of the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24 . Such an assembly of the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  is referred to as an electronic module. A description will be given below of a method of forming the electronic circuit device  20  having no baseboard. 
     First, the wires  24  are formed by printing a conductive circuit pattern on a copper foil, etc., on the baseboard  26 . The baseboard  26  is formed of a water-soluble material such as denatured polyvinyl alcohol (for example, Nippon Synthetic Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., designation: ECOMATI AX) or a water-soluble paper (for example, Mishima Paper Co., Ltd., designation: MDP). Accordingly, the baseboard  26  has a characteristic of dissolving in water. A paste containing solder grains, an adhesive, etc. are applied through a mask to desired positions on the baseboard  26  (printed circuit board) on which the wires  24  are formed. Then, the plurality of electronic parts  22  are placed on the baseboard  26  where the paste or adhesive is applied. The electronic parts  22  are subjected to heat treatment while being placed on the baseboard  26  so that the electronic parts  22  are mounted and fixed on the baseboard  26 . It should be noted that, if the water-soluble baseboard  26  has an insufficient strength, the electronic parts  22  may be mounted on the baseboard  26  in a state where the baseboard  26  is placed on a plastic plate  28  as shown in  FIG. 2A  within a condition where the plastic plate  28  does not give influence to the mounting process of the electronic parts  22  onto the baseboard  26  or a solder-reflow process. 
     After an electronic module comprising the electronic parts  22  mounted on the wires  24  that are formed on the baseboard  26  is formed as shown in  FIG. 2A , the plastic plate  28  is removed, if necessary, and the electronic module is immersed into water. Since the baseboard  26  is a water-soluble material, if the baseboard  26  is immersed into water, the baseboard  26  dissolves into water. Accordingly, as shown in  FIG. 2B , the baseboard  26  is removed from the electronic module in which the electronic parts  22  are mounted. After the baseboard  26  is dissolved into water, the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  formed of a copper foil are in a state where they are not supported by the baseboard  26 . Thus, an insulating material is applied onto the electronic module comprising the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  at the same time or immediately after the baseboard  26  is dissolved into water as mentioned later so that the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  are coated with an insulating film. 
     The insulating material applied to the above-mentioned electronic module is selected from materials, which are deformable and flexible even after being cured. As such a material, there is a synthetic resin solution such as metacry-acrylic copolymer resin (for example, Rohm and Harse Company, designation: pararoid B72) or an ultraviolet-curable resin such as urethane acrylate (for example, Three Bond Company, designation: 3061H). Additionally, the wires  24  are easily deformable since the wires  24  are formed of a copper foil as mentioned above. For this reason, after the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  of the electronic module, which does not have the baseboard  26 , are coated with the insulating material, the electronic module can be deformed (change in configuration) without the wires  24  being cut by deformation. Therefore, relative positions between the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  can be changed. 
     Then, the electronic module covered with the insulating material is changed in the configuration or shape thereof or compacted into a smaller configuration so that the electronic module matches a configuration of a location where the electronic circuit device  20  is installed. Thereafter, the electronic module is solidified or fixed in its configuration by applying and curing epoxy resin or the like in a state where the configuration of the electronic module matches the configuration of the location where the electronic circuit device  20  is installed. 
     According to the above-mentioned structure, due to the removal of the baseboard  26  as shown in  FIG. 1B , the electronic circuit device  20 , which is constituted only by the plurality of electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  which interconnect the electronic parts  22 , can be installed on the uneven part in the installation location in a flexible manner. Additionally, the electronic circuit device  20  itself can be miniaturized, which achieves a reduction in the space where the electronic circuit device  20  is installed. 
     By the way, there is a possibility of being in a state where the configuration and arrangement of the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24 , which are formed of a copper foil, can be easily changed during a period from the removal of the baseboard  26  from the electronic module until the electronic module is deformed and solidified. Accordingly, the wires  24  may short-circuit with each other, which causes the electronic module difficult to be handled. Thus, in the present embodiment, the handling of the electronic module is made easy by applying the insulating material onto the electronic module at the time when the baseboard  26  is removed from the electronic module or immediately after the removal of the baseboard  26 , or by compacting or miniaturizing the electronic module as shown in  FIG. 1C . 
     A description will now be given, with reference to  FIG. 3A  through  FIG. 8C , of first to sixth method of facilitating the handling of the electronic module comprising the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  and from which the baseboard  26  is removed. It should be noted that, in  FIG. 3A  through  FIG. 8C , the suffix letters A, B, . . . indicate the time series sequence of the processes according to the methods. 
     [First Method] 
       FIGS. 3A ,  3 B and  3 C illustrate the first method of facilitating the handling of the electronic module. In the first method, when the electronic module is immersed into water so as to dissolve and remove the baseboard  26 , a water-soluble polymeric material as an insulating material is applied to the water. As the water-soluble polymeric material, carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) with a high viscosity (for example, Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd., designation: CMC Daicel) can be used. In this structure, the water-soluble polymeric material dissolves and spreads in water when the baseboard  26  dissolves in the water, which results in the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  of the electronic module being coated with the polymeric material due to its viscosity. Then, after the coating is applied, the configuration change of the electronic module is performed, an adhesive, etc., is cured so as to fix the configuration of the electronic module. 
     It should be noted that mere the coating of the electronic module with the viscosity may be insufficient to strengthen the electronic module, and the electronic module may still be difficult to handle. Thus, as shown in  FIG. 3B , a metal foil  30  such as an aluminum foil, which is easily deformable but maintains its configuration or shape, may be applied to the electronic module coated with the insulating material. If such a process is performed, the metal foil  30  may be applied by utilizing the viscosity of the water-soluble polymeric material coating the electronic module. After the metal foil  30  is applied onto the electronic module, the electric module is changed in its configuration or shape together with the metal foil  30 , first a portion where the metal foil  30  is not applied is applied with an adhesive and the adhesive is cured, and, then, the metal foil  30  is pealed off so as to fix a portion where the metal foil  30  is removed, as shown in  FIG. 3C . It should be noted that, in view of a shielding effect, a heat radiation effect and a strengthening effect, the electronic module may serve as the electronic circuit device  20  without removing the metal foil  30 . 
     According to the above-mentioned first method, since the electronic module is coated with the water-soluble polymeric material or the metal foil  30  simultaneously with the removal of the baseboard  26  from the electronic module, the wires  24  can surely be prevented from short-circuiting. Thus, the electronic module can be easily handled immediately after the removal of the baseboard  26 . 
     [Second Method] 
       FIGS. 4A through 4D  illustrate the second method of facilitating the handling of the electronic module. In the second method, before dissolving and removing the baseboard  26  from the electronic module, the electronic module integrated with the baseboard  26  is set on a block  40  as shown in  FIG. 4A . A clearance  42  according to a groove or a hole corresponding to the configuration of the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  are formed in the block  40  directly under the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  of the electronic module. Therefore, when the electronic module is set on the block  40  as mentioned above, the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  face the clearance  42  of the block  40  with the baseboard  26  therebetween. It should be noted that the block  40  may be formed in one piece or may be divided into a plurality of parts so as to be detachable from each other. 
     In the above-mentioned structure, when the electronic module is immersed into water and the baseboard  26  is dissolved and removed, the electronic parts  22  and wires  24  move downward since they are no longer supported by the baseboard  16 . Since the electronic parts  22  and wires  24  face the clearance  42  of the block  40  via the baseboard  26 , if the support of the baseboard  26  does not exist, the electronic parts  22  and wires  24  fit into the clearance  42  of the block  40  as shown in  FIG. 40B . In this state, as shown in  FIG. 4C , an insulating material such as a silicone or a silicone rubber, which is flexible even when being cured, is supplied to the clearance  42  and is cured. After the silicone rubber is cured, the block  40  is removed entirely, the configuration of the electronic module covered with the cured silicon is changed and the configuration is fixed by an adhesive as shown in  FIG. 4D . 
     According to the above-mentioned second method, since the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24 , which are fitted in the mold frame (block  40 ), are coated with the silicone rubber after the removal of the baseboard  26 , the wires  24  can surely be prevented from short-circuiting due to the presence of the flexible silicone rubber. Thus, the electronic module can be easily handled immediately after the removal of the baseboard  26 . 
     [Third Method] 
       FIGS. 5A through 5C  illustrate the third method of facilitating the handling of the electronic module. In the third method, the wires  24  embedded in the water-soluble board  26  have an elastic structure such as a spring structure or an accordion-folded structure. The wires  24  are embedded in the baseboard  26  in a state where the wires  24  are stretched from a normal state, as shown in  FIG. 5A , so that the wires  24  are stretched while the baseboard  26  is present. Then, in this state, the electronic parts  22  are mounted and fixed on the baseboard  26 . When the baseboard  26  dissolves in water in this state, as shown in  FIG. 5B , the wires  24  contract as shown in  FIG. 5B  since the force to maintain the wires  24  by the baseboard  26  is removed. After the wires  24  are contracted, an adhesive is applied onto the electronic module and the adhesive is cured as shown in  FIG. 5C . 
     According to the above-mentioned third embodiment, since the wires  24  are contracted due to its spring action after the removal of the baseboard  26 , the wires  24  can surely be prevented from short-circuiting or relaxing due to the contraction. Thus, the electronic module can be easily handled after the removal of the baseboard  26 . 
     [Fourth Method] 
       FIGS. 6A and 6B  illustrate the fourth method of facilitating the handling of the electronic module. In the fourth method, after mounting the electronic parts  22  onto the baseboard (printed-circuit board)  26  and before removing the baseboard  26  from the electronic module by dissolving in water, a desiccating gel  50  is applied onto the electronic module. The desiccating gel  50  is swollen if a water component exists in the atmosphere, and is shrunk if the water component is removed. After the desiccating gel  50  is applied onto the electronic module, the electronic module is immersed into water so as to dissolve the baseboard  26 . 
     In the above-mentioned structure, the desiccating gel  50  is swollen as shown in  FIG. 6A  simultaneously when the baseboard  26  dissolves in water, and the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  of the electronic module are coated with the desiccating gel  50  due to its viscosity. After the electronic module is coated, the swollen gel  50  is dried so as to be dehydrated and shrunk. At this time, the wires interconnecting the electronic parts  22  are contracted due to the shrinkage of the gel  50 . After the wires  24  are shrunk, an adhesive or the like is applied onto the electronic module and the adhesive is cured as shown in  FIG. 6B . 
     According to the above-mentioned fourth method, since the electronic module is coated by the swollen desiccating gel  50  simultaneously with the removal of the baseboard  26  and thereafter the wires are contracted due to the shrinkage of the gel  50 , the wires  24  can surely be prevented from short-circuiting or relaxing due to the contraction. Thus, the electronic module can be easily handled after the removal of the baseboard  26 . 
     [Fifth Method] 
       FIGS. 7A and 7B  illustrate the fifth method of facilitating the handling of the electronic module. In the fifth method, after removing the baseboard  26  from the electronic module, an adhesive  60  is applied onto the electronic module and the adhesive  60  is cured while the electronic module is wrapped with a thermally shrinkable film  62  as shown in  FIG. 7A . The thermally shrinkable film  62  is made of polyethylene, etc., (for example, Sekisui Film Company Limited, designation: polyshrinkLB). Before the adhesive  60  is completely shrunk, the thermally shrinkable film  62  is heated so as to be shrunk. Under the present circumstances, the wires  24  which interconnect the electronic parts  22  are contracted due to the shrinkage of the thermally shrinkable film  62  as shown in  FIG. 7B . After the wires  24  are shrunk, the thermally shrinkable film  62  is removed and the adhesive is completely cured so as to fix the configuration of the electronic module. It should be noted that if the thermally shrinkable film  62  is shrunk in a state where the adhesive is not completely cured, the wires  24  may short-circuit with each other. Thus, in order to avoid such a problem, it is appropriate to cause the thermally shrinkable film  62  to shrink while the adhesive  60  is half-cured where the adhesive  60  is cured to a certain degree. 
     According to the above-mentioned fifth method, since the wires  24  contracted due to the thermal shrinkage of the thermally shrinkable film  62  which covers the electronic module applied with the adhesive  60  after the removal of the baseboard  26  from the electronic module, the wires  24  can surely be prevented from short-circuiting or relaxing due to the contraction. Thus, the electronic module can be easily handled after the removal of the baseboard  26 . 
     [Sixth Method] 
       FIGS. 8A through 8C  illustrate the sixth method of facilitating the handling of the electronic module. In the sixth method, after removing the baseboard  26  from the electronic module, a masking sol  70  as an insulating material is applied to the electronic module as shown in  FIG. 8A . The masking sol  70  has high fluidity with low viscosity, and has the characteristics of liquid (for example, GSI cleos, Inc. designation: Mr. masking sol). After the masking sol  70  is cured, an unnecessary portion of the masking sol  70 , that is, a portion corresponding to a space where the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  are not present is cut out as shown in  FIG. 8B . Then, the electronic module having the masking sol  70  is reduced and deformed so as to match the location where the electronic circuit device  20  is installed, and an adhesive is applied and cured so as to fix the configuration of the electronic module as shown in  FIG. 8C . 
     According to the above-mentioned sixth method, since the electronic module is coated with the masking sol  70  and an unnecessary portion of the masking sol  70  is cut out after the baseboard  26  is removed by being immersed into water, the electronic module can be reduced in its size and the electronic module can be easily handled after the removal of the baseboard  26 . 
     [Seventh Method] 
       FIGS. 9A through 9C  illustrate the seventh method of facilitating the handling of the electronic module. In the seventh method, after mounting the electronic parts  22  onto the baseboard (printed-circuit board)  26 , the mounting surface of the baseboard  26  is coated with an insulating material such as the above-mentioned polymeric material solution or the ultra-violet curable resin in a state where the baseboard  26  is attached to the electronic module as shown in  FIG. 9A . The electronic module is immersed into water in this state so as to dissolve the baseboard  26  in water. Then, a portion of the electronic module where the insulating coat is not applied due to the presence of the baseboard  26  is coated with the insulating material as shown in  FIG. 9B . Thus, after the insulating coat is applied onto the entire electronic module, the electronic module is deformed to match a configuration of a location where the electronic circuit device  20  is installed, and an adhesive is applied to the electronic module and is cured so as to seal and fix the electronic module as shown in  FIG. 9C . 
     According to the above-mentioned seventh method, since the mounting surface of the electronic module is coated with the insulating material in the state where the baseboard  26  is attached to the electronic module and, thereafter, the surface of the electronic module facing the baseboard  62  is coated with the insulating material in the state where the baseboard is remove by being dissolved in water, the electronic module can surely be prevented from short-circuiting with each other. Thus, the electronic module can be easily handled immediately after the removal of the baseboard  26 . 
       FIGS. 10A ,  10 B and  10 C are illustrations for explaining a location of installing the electronic circuit device  20  according to the present embodiment.  FIGS. 11A ,  11 B and  11 C are illustrations for explaining a configuration and arrangement of an electronic circuit device having a baseboard with comparison with the electronic circuit device  20  according to the present embodiment. In a case where electronic parts and wires are mounted on a baseboard  102  having a certain rigidity such as in an electronic circuit device  100  shown in  FIGS. 11A ,  11 B and  11 C, it is difficult to install the electronic circuit device  100  on an uneven part having a curved surface or a step as shown in  FIGS. 11A and 11B , and it is required to enlarge a two-dimensional occupied area in mounting all electronic parts as shown in  FIG. 11C . 
     On the other hand, the electronic circuit device  20  according to the present embodiment has a final structure which comprises the electronic parts  22  and wires  24  without the baseboard  26  and the configuration is freely changeable while the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  are supported by the baseboard  26  in the initial stage of manufacture. For this reason, according to the present embodiment as shown in  FIGS. 10A ,  10 B and  10 C, it becomes possible to install the electronic circuit device  20  on an uneven part having a curved surface or a step without being restricted by the baseboard  26  as shown in  FIGS. 10A and 10B , and the electronic circuit device  20  can be squeezed into a limited space without requiring a large occupied area as shown in  FIG. 10C . 
     Although the electronic circuit device having no baseboard may have disadvantages that a heat radiation property, an insulating property and configuration stability of the electronic parts is deteriorated, such a problem can be solved by covering the electronic circuit device  20  with a heat radiating gel (for example, Gel Tech Co., Ltd., designation: DP100 or DP200) having an excellent heat-radiating property, insulating property and configuration stability so as to improve the heat-radiation property during operations of the electronic parts and improve the insulating property and configuration stability after installation. 
     It should be noted that, in the above-mentioned embodiment, each of the synthetic resin solution such as metacry-acrylic copolymer resin, the ultra-violet curable resin such as urethane acrylate, the water-soluble polymeric material such as CMC and the desiccating gel  50  serve as a “visco-elastic material”. 
     Additionally, although the baseboard  26  is formed of a water-soluble material in the above-mentioned first embodiment and the electronic circuit device  20  having no baseboard is formed by dissolving the baseboard  26  in water, the present invention is not limited to such a structure, and the baseboard may be formed of a polystyrene foam so as to form the electronic circuit device by removing the polystyrene foam by applying a solvent such as a thinner to the baseboard. 
     A description will now be given, with reference to  FIGS. 12A ,  12 B and  12 C, of a second embodiment of the present invention. 
     In the above-mentioned first embodiment, the electronic circuit device  20  having the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24  without a baseboard is formed by forming the baseboard  26  mounting the electronic parts  22  by a water-soluble material and dissolving the baseboard  26  in water. On the other hand, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the baseboard  26  is not dissolved but separated from the electronic parts  22  by removing adhesion force so as to form the electronic circuit device  20  having no baseboard. 
       FIGS. 12A ,  12 B and  12 C are illustrations for explaining a method of forming the electronic circuit device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In  FIGS. 12A ,  12 B and  12 C, parts that are the same as the parts shown in  FIGS. 1A ,  1 B and  1 C and  FIGS. 2A and 2B  are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted. That is, in the present embodiment, the baseboard  26  is formed of a regular material which is not a water-soluble material, and the wires  24  are attached to the baseboard  26  by a peelable adhesive tape  200 . 
     The peelable adhesive sensitive tape  200  (for example, NITTO DENKO CORP., designation: Livaalpha) has a high-adhesion at a normal state while the tape  200  looses adhesion force when a heat is applied thereto. The electronic parts  22  are mounted on desired portions in a state where the wires  24  are attached to the baseboard  26 , and a heat treatment is applied according to solder-reflow. 
     In the above-mentioned structure, if the heat treatment is performed at the time of mounting the electronic parts  22 , adhesion force between the wires  24  and the baseboard  26  is removed since the peelable adhesive tape  200  loses adhesion due to the heat. In such a case, the wires  24  connected with the electronic parts  22  and the baseboard  26  are separable from each other, and, thus, the wires  24  can be separated from the baseboard  26 . That is, the baseboard  26  can be removed from the electronic module comprising the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24 . Thus, when the baseboard  26  is removed from the electronic module and the electronic module contains only the electronic parts  22  and the wires  24 , an insulating material is applied to the electronic module according to one of the above-mentioned fourth to sixth methods so as to facilitate handling of the electronic module. Then, after the electronic module is deformed into a desired configuration or shrunk, the electronic module is sealed and fixed by curing an adhesive applied thereto. 
     As mentioned above, according to the present embodiment, the baseboard  26  is removed from the electronic module by separation of the electronic parts and the baseboard  26  by the peealable adhesive tape. That is, the electronic circuit device  20  having no baseboard can be formed without deteriorating its functions. Thus, similar to the above-mentioned first embodiment, the electronic circuit device  20 , which consists of the insulation coated electronic parts  22  and the wires interconnecting the electronic parts  22 , can be flexibly installed in an installation location with a certain degree of freedom. Additionally, the electronic circuit device  20  itself can be reduced in its size. Therefore, also in the present embodiment, effects the same as the above-mentioned first embodiment can be achieved. 
     Although a peelable adhesive tape, which can be peeled by applying a heat, is used as the peerable adhesive tape  200  to attach the wires  24  to the baseboard  26  in the above-mentioned second embodiment, other peelable adhesive tapes such as one which can be peeled by irradiation of an ultra-violet light (UV). As the peelable adhesive tape which can be peeled by irradiation of an ultra-violet light, there is one designated as “selfer” manufactured by Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd, for example. In this structure, since the baseboard  26  and the electronic parts  22  including the wires  24  are separated from each other by irradiating an ultra-violet light onto the electronic module after mounting the electronic parts  22  onto the wires  24  attached to the baseboard  26  via the peelable adhesive tape, the electronic circuit device having no baseboard can be easily formed. 
     The present invention is not limited to the specifically disclosed embodiments, and variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. 
     The present application is based on Japanese priority application No. 2003-176968 filed Jun. 20, 2003, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
