Solution Overview

Problem

The increased density of semiconductor elements on wiring substrates leads to deformation issues during assembly, causing connection failures and damage due to the warping of coreless wiring substrates, which are difficult to handle and assemble effectively.

Innovation Solution

A carrier base material-added wiring substrate structure is introduced, comprising a first carrier base material adhered to the wiring substrate, a second carrier base material arranged within an opening of the first, and a third carrier base material covering the opening, providing support and stability to limit warping and facilitate handling and assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If a coreless wiring substrate is used to reduce thickness and increase wiring density, then the substrate becomes thinner and allows higher wiring density, but the substrate becomes more prone to warping and deformation during manufacturing and assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate thicknessVSAvoidsubstrate warping
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The carrier base material is divided into multiple segments: a first carrier base material with an opening exposing the product area, a second carrier base material arranged in the opening, and a third carrier base material covering the opening. This segmentation provides distributed support to the coreless wiring substrate, preventing warping while maintaining thinness and high wiring density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If a coreless wiring substrate is used to reduce thickness, then the substrate becomes thinner, but the substrate becomes difficult to handle during manufacturing and assembling processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate thicknessVSAvoidhandling difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The multi-segment carrier base material acts as an intermediary between the thin coreless wiring substrate and the handling/assembly processes. The carrier provides mechanical support and stability, making the thin substrate easy to handle during manufacturing and assembly without requiring changes to the substrate itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If a tentative substrate is used to support the wiring substrate during assembly, then the wiring substrate stability is improved, but deformation may still cause connection failure or damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate stabilityVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The carrier base material is configured with different regions having different properties: the first carrier base material with an opening provides support while exposing the product area for electrical tests; the second carrier base material in the opening provides localized support under the product area; the third carrier base material covers the opening to provide overall support. This local quality differentiation stabilizes the substrate while maintaining connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A carrier base material-added wiring substrate includes a wiring substrate and first to third carrier base materials. The first carrier base material is adhered by a first adhesive layer to a lower surface of the wiring substrate and includes an opening that exposes a product area of the wiring substrate. The second carrier base material is arranged in the opening of the first carrier base material and contacts the lower surface of the wiring substrate. The third carrier base material is adhered by a second adhesive layer to the first carrier base material and the second carrier base material. The third carrier base material covers the opening of the first carrier base material. The second adhesive layer is formed entirely on an upper surface of the third carrier base material.
