Solution Overview

Problem

When bonding members using temporary organic materials, decomposition gas remains at the bonded interface due to insufficient exhaustion, leading to inadequate bonding strength, either from high pressurization loads causing gas interference or low loads resulting in insufficient bonding.

Innovation Solution

A method where the pressurization load during heating is set lower than the decomposition temperature of the organic material to allow gas exhaustion, followed by increasing the load for reliable bonding, ensuring decomposition gas is rapidly removed from the interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If high pressurization load is applied during bonding, then bonding strength is improved, but decomposition gas cannot be exhausted from the bonded interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoiddecomposition gas accumulation
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The pressurization load is dynamically adjusted during the bonding process. Initially, a low pressurization load is applied to allow decomposition gas to escape from the bonded interface. After gas exhaustion, the pressurization load is increased to achieve strong bonding. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between bonding strength and gas exhaustion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding process is divided into two stages: first, a preliminary stage with low pressurization load to exhaust decomposition gas; second, a final stage with high pressurization load to achieve strong bonding. This preliminary action of gas exhaustion before full bonding prevents gas accumulation while maintaining bonding strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Object-generated harmful factors

If low pressurization load is applied during bonding, then decomposition gas can be exhausted, but bonding strength becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecomposition gas exhaustionVSAvoidbonding strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The pressurization load transitions from low to high during the bonding process. The low initial load enables gas exhaustion, while the subsequent high load achieves strong bonding. This dynamic progression resolves the contradiction between gas exhaustion and bonding strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Gas exhaustion is performed as a preliminary action before applying full bonding pressure. This two-stage approach ensures that decomposition gas is removed first, preventing defects, and then strong bonding is achieved in the second stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Strength

If constant high pressurization load is applied throughout heating, then bonding strength is improved, but decomposition gas remains trapped at the interface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidbonding quality
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The pressurization load is made dynamic rather than constant. It starts low during heating to allow gas escape, then increases after gas exhaustion. This dynamic control prevents gas trapping while achieving strong, reliable bonding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Gas exhaustion is performed as a preliminary action before final bonding. This prevents gas entrapment that would compromise bonding quality, while still achieving high bonding strength in the subsequent high-load stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for producing a bonded body includes: a laminating step of forming a laminated body in which a first member and a second member are temporarily bonded to each other by providing a temporary bonding material including an organic material on at least one of a bonding surface of the first member and a bonding surface of the second member; and a bonding step of pressurizing and heating the laminated body in a laminating direction and bonding the first member and the second member to each other. In the bonding step, during a temperature increase process of heating the laminated body up to a predetermined bonding temperature, at least a pressurization load P2 at a decomposition temperature TD of the organic material included in the temporary bonding material is lower than a pressurization load P1 at the bonding temperature.
