Solution Overview

Problem

Strain in the curable adhesive layer due to outer forces and temperature changes leads to positional shifting of adherends, affecting the accuracy of strain sensors and increasing the risk of short circuits and reliability issues in densely packed electronic components.

Innovation Solution

An adhesive sheet with a tensile elastic modulus of 3.5 GPa or more and a tensile shearing adhesive strength of 10 MPa or more, composed of an epoxy resin, acryl resin, curing agent, and inorganic filler, with a filler content of 30.0 to 68.0 mass %, designed to adhere members with varying elastic moduli.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a conventional adhesive agent is used to adhere two members, then the members can be joined together, but strain occurs in the curable adhesive layer due to outer force and temperature change, causing positional shifting of the adherends

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidpositional accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the mechanical parameters of the adhesive layer by controlling the tensile elastic modulus to be 0.5-5.0 GPa and breaking elongation to be 50-200%. This parameter optimization allows the adhesive layer to have sufficient strength while maintaining flexibility to accommodate strain without causing positional shifting of adherends

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite adhesive agent comprising multiple components: epoxy resin (30-70 parts by weight), polyol (20-50 parts by weight), isocyanate (10-30 parts by weight), and curing agent (5-20 parts by weight). This composite formulation achieves the desired balance of strength and flexibility to prevent positional shifting

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Adaptability or versatility

If the strain in the curable adhesive layer is large, then the adhesive layer can accommodate deformation, but the strain cannot be accurately measured by strain sensors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeformation accommodationVSAvoidstrain measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

By optimizing the tensile elastic modulus to 0.5-5.0 GPa and breaking elongation to 50-200%, the adhesive layer maintains sufficient deformation accommodation capability while minimizing excessive strain that would interfere with strain sensor measurements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Volume of moving object

If electronic components are densely packed to achieve miniaturization, then the device size is reduced, but high positional accuracy is required to prevent short circuits and tilting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidpositional accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the adhesive layer parameters (tensile elastic modulus: 0.5-5.0 GPa, breaking elongation: 50-200%) to provide sufficient flexibility that accommodates manufacturing tolerances and thermal expansion in densely packed electronic components, preventing short circuits and tilting without requiring excessive positional accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Strength

If the tensile elastic modulus of the adhesive layer is increased to improve rigidity, then positional shifting is reduced, but the adhesive layer becomes too rigid and cannot accommodate strain

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproverigidityVSAvoidstrain accommodation
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent identifies the optimal range for tensile elastic modulus (0.5-5.0 GPa) that balances rigidity to prevent positional shifting with flexibility to accommodate strain. This parameter optimization resolves the contradiction between rigidity and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
