Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If direct wire-bonding is used without wire layout design, then flexibility of the procedure is improved, but wire running becomes complex and distances between wires and wire layout are prolonged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility of procedureVSAvoidcomplexity of wire running
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-designing an optimized wire layout pattern before wire bonding. The wire layout is planned in advance to define optimal paths and connection points, preventing complex wire routing during the actual bonding process. This preliminary planning stage separates the design complexity from the manufacturing flexibility, allowing workers to follow predetermined routes while maintaining procedural flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The wire layout acts as an intermediary between the direct wire-bonding process and the final electrical connections. Instead of directly connecting wires between components without guidance, the wire layout serves as a mediating framework that organizes wire paths, reduces complexity, and maintains manufacturing flexibility by providing clear routing instructions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

By pre-planning the wire layout with optimized paths and connection points, the patent minimizes wire lengths before the actual bonding process. The preliminary design stage allows for calculation and optimization of wire routes, ensuring shortest possible paths while maintaining procedural flexibility during manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing geometric parameters of wire paths, connection point locations, and routing angles. These parameter optimizations directly reduce wire lengths and distances between wires and components, while the flexible procedure allows adaptation to different parameter sets for various device configurations.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The pre-designed wire layout optimizes signal path lengths and impedance matching before high-frequency operation. By planning wire routes and connection points in advance, the patent minimizes signal degradation and reflection issues that would otherwise limit operating frequency, enabling stable operation above 1600 MHz while maintaining relatively simple device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing electrical parameters such as wire length, trace geometry, and connection point locations within the wire layout. These parameter optimizations reduce signal loss and impedance discontinuities, enabling the device to operate at high frequencies (above 1600 MHz) without requiring complex shielding or filtering structures.

Solution Approach 1:

By implementing a pre-planned wire layout with optimized paths and connection points, the patent achieves both fast design and reliable signal transmission. The preliminary design stage establishes optimal wire routing that minimizes length and maximizes signal integrity, allowing rapid manufacturing while ensuring stable high-frequency operation. This eliminates the trade-off between design speed and signal reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The wire layout serves as an intermediary that bridges the gap between rapid design processes and high-reliability signal transmission. It provides a predetermined framework that accelerates manufacturing while simultaneously optimizing electrical characteristics for stable signal operation at high frequencies, resolving the contradiction between design productivity and signal reliability.

AI summary

A memory device is provided. The memory device is used for data transmission at around 1600 megahertz (MHz). A wire layout is used to sequentially cascade memory dices with greatly shortened distances between the wire layout and the memory dices. At the same time, distances between the wire layout and UA controllers are shortened as well for effectively simplifying the design of wires.
