Solution Overview

Problem

Existing pressure sensitive adhesive sheets struggle to balance the firm holding of semiconductor elements during transfer to prevent displacement, while also allowing easy pickup after treatment, which is crucial for miniaturized semiconductor devices.

Innovation Solution

A pressure sensitive adhesive sheet with a surface featuring unevenness and a complex shear elastic modulus of 0.001 MPa to 1.0 MPa at 23°C, allowing the sheet to deform and recover to firmly hold and easily release elements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a pressure sensitive adhesive sheet with high adhesion strength is used to firmly hold semiconductor elements during transfer, then element displacement is prevented, but element pickup becomes difficult after treatment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholding firmnessVSAvoidpickup ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive sheet employs a reversible phase change mechanism that dynamically alters adhesion strength. Upon laser irradiation, the adhesive layer transitions from a high-adhesion state to a low-adhesion state, enabling automatic switching between firm holding and easy pickup without manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer utilizes phase transition (solid-gel or glass transition) induced by laser heating to modulate adhesion properties. The phase change causes abrupt reduction in adhesion strength, allowing elements to be firmly held during transfer and easily released after treatment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #36Phase transitions

2Manufacturing precision

If the adhesive sheet is made soft to easily deform and hold elements, then positioning precision is improved, but structural stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer's physical parameters (viscosity, elasticity) are dynamically changed through temperature control. During element placement, the material is in a soft, deformable state for precise positioning; after placement, temperature reduction restores structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
