Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If separate extending regions are used to control magnetic domain movement, then magnetic domain positioning accuracy is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate extending regions into a single continuous magnetic body with integrated first, second, and third extending regions. This unified structure eliminates the need for separate components while maintaining the ability to control magnetic domain movement through the bent configuration, thereby reducing device complexity while preserving positioning accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic body is configured with a bent shape where the first extending region, second extending region, and third extending region are connected at angles rather than forming straight lines. This curvature creates natural magnetic domain confinement zones that improve positioning accuracy without requiring additional separate components, thus resolving the contradiction between precision and complexity.
2Quantity of substance
If downscaling is implemented to improve memory density, then memory capacity increases, but manufacturing stability and operation reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional planar structures to three-dimensional bent configurations by introducing vertical angles between extending regions. This dimensional change allows for more compact space utilization, effectively increasing memory density while maintaining stable magnetic domain operation through the geometric constraints provided by the bent structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the magnetic body by introducing bent configurations with specific angles between extending regions. This parameter modification enables smaller feature sizes and higher density while the bent structure itself provides stable magnetic domain confinement, preventing operation instability that would normally occur during downscaling.
3Quantity of substance
If bent configuration is used to suppress magnetic domain movement, then memory density improves, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic body is segmented into distinct first, second, and third extending regions that are connected at bent portions. This segmentation allows each region to be optimized independently for its specific function while the overall bent configuration provides memory density improvement. The clear regional division makes manufacturing more manageable despite the bent configuration.
