Solution Overview

Problem

Existing bonded bodies face reliability issues due to filler residue at the bonding interface, which degrades the integrity of the bonded structure, particularly when using thermal press-bonding methods with inorganic fillers.

Innovation Solution

A bonded body design featuring a first base body with a first electrode and passivation layer, and a second base body with a second electrode, where solder is strategically placed between regions of the electrodes to prevent filler residue, ensuring high reliability by controlling the solder's flow and spread during the bonding process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If thermal press-bonding method with inorganic filler is used, then bonding strength is improved, but filler residue at bonding interface degrades reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the harmful inorganic filler from the bonding interface by using a solder bonding method instead of thermal press-bonding with filler. The solder acts as an intermediary material that bonds the electrodes without leaving residual filler at the bonding interface, thereby eliminating the source of reliability degradation while maintaining bonding strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces solder as an intermediary material between the first electrode and second electrode. This solder layer serves as a mediator that achieves reliable bonding without requiring inorganic filler, thus preventing filler residue issues while maintaining strong electrical and mechanical connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If solder is used for bonding, then reliability is improved by preventing filler residue, but solder spread must be controlled to maintain bonding precision

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidbonding precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality control by configuring the solder to be disposed between specific regions of the first electrode and the second electrode. This localized solder placement ensures that solder flow is controlled in specific areas, preventing excessive spread while maintaining reliable bonding at the intended locations, thus balancing reliability improvement with manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
