Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If ceramic substrate is used for packaging, then heat dissipation is improved, but mounting of high-performance and high-frequency semiconductor elements becomes difficult due to high resistance value or high dielectric constant

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipationVSAvoidmounting capability for high-performance semiconductor elements
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different materials to different regions of the packaging substrate. The core substrate uses ceramic for heat dissipation, while the mounting region uses resin with lower dielectric constant and resistance for high-frequency signal transmission. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by allowing each region to optimize for its specific function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite packaging substrate by combining ceramic core substrate with resin mounting region. This composite structure integrates the thermal conductivity benefits of ceramic with the electrical performance benefits of resin, simultaneously achieving both heat dissipation and compatibility with high-performance semiconductor elements.

Inventive Principle:
