Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional manufacturing methods are used for electronic devices, then the manufacturing process is simpler, but the process yield and reliability are lower

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocess yieldVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The method performs preliminary alignment mark formation and offset calculation before the main manufacturing process. By pre-establishing the reference marks and calculating positional offsets in advance, the system ensures accurate sample positioning without adding complexity to the subsequent manufacturing steps, thereby improving process yield while maintaining process simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention replaces traditional mechanical alignment methods with an optical/mark-based alignment system. Instead of relying on mechanical fixtures and manual positioning, the system uses formed alignment marks and calculated offsets to determine sample position, achieving higher precision and reliability without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Manufacturing precision

If alignment marks are used to improve positioning accuracy, then manufacturing precision is improved, but the risk of cracking and alignment errors increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment accuracyVSAvoidcracking and alignment errors
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism by calculating the offset between the formed alignment mark and the standard reference position. This offset information is then used to adjust the sample positioning, creating a closed-loop control system that compensates for alignment errors and prevents cracking, thereby improving manufacturing precision while eliminating the harmful effects of misalignment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the parameter of alignment mark formation by using a controlled marking process that creates precise reference points. By carefully controlling the mark formation process and using these marks as references for offset calculation, the system achieves high alignment accuracy without introducing stress or defects that could lead to cracking

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
