Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge lies in integrating different elements to enhance the functionality and reliability of electronic devices, which is crucial for market competitiveness, but existing technologies have limitations in effectively combining these elements to improve performance and protection.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves an electronic device structure comprising a chip, an element structure layer with a switch element, a redistribution structure layer, and a protective layer, where the chip has contacts connecting the switch element and redistribution structure layer, and the protective layer surrounds the chip and structure layers to enhance protection and reliability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple elements (chip, element structure layer, redistribution structure layer) are integrated to enhance functionality, then device functionality and reliability are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice reliabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the chip, element structure layer, and redistribution structure layer into a single integrated device structure. The element structure layer is disposed adjacent to the chip's active surface, and the redistribution structure layer is disposed adjacent to the active surface, creating a merged architecture that improves reliability while managing complexity through unified design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The protective layer is configured with a first portion that surrounds the chip and a second portion that surrounds the element structure layer and redistribution structure layer. This nested protective structure encloses multiple functional layers within a unified protective framework, enhancing reliability without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If a protective layer surrounds the chip and structure layers to improve protection against environmental factors, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection against environmental factorsVSAvoidprotective layer structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The protective layer is divided into two distinct portions: a first portion that surrounds the chip and a second portion that surrounds the element structure layer and redistribution structure layer. This segmentation allows each portion to be optimized for its specific protective function while maintaining overall system reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The protective layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical protection, environmental sealing, and structural support for both the chip and the adjacent structure layers. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate protective components, managing complexity while enhancing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
