Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional chip package production methods using photo-curable glue face inefficiencies due to the need for ultraviolet light solidification, which is hindered by the addition of black light-absorbing layers to prevent flare issues.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a reflecting member on the substrate to redirect a solidifying light beam onto the glass adhesive, allowing for the solidification of the support body without blocking the light.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a black light-absorbing layer is added on the glass cover to block light beams and prevent flare issues, then the flare issue is prevented, but the photo-curable glue cannot be solidified by the ultraviolet light beam

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflare issueVSAvoidsolidification of photo-curable glue
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A reflecting member (intermediary element) is introduced between the ultraviolet light source and the photo-curable glue. This reflecting member redirects the light beam to reach the glue for solidification, while the black light-absorbing layer continues to block excessive light on the glass cover. The intermediary enables both the prevention of flare and the solidification of adhesive to occur simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a photo-curable glue is used to surround the sensing chip as a supporting fence structure, then the chip is supported and sealed, but the production efficiency is reduced due to the need for ultraviolet light solidification process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupporting fence structureVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The reflecting member is pre-positioned on the substrate before the photo-curable glue is applied. This preliminary arrangement ensures that when ultraviolet light is subsequently applied, the light is already optimally directed onto the glue, enabling rapid and reliable solidification. The preliminary positioning of the reflecting member streamlines the overall production process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Strength

If the photo-curable glue is applied to adhere the glass cover to the substrate, then the glass cover is securely mounted, but the light beam is blocked preventing proper solidification

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion of glass coverVSAvoidlight beam intensity at glue
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of attempting to increase light intensity in the direct vertical path (which is blocked by the glass cover), the reflecting member redirects light from a different angular dimension. The light beam approaches the photo-curable glue from a redirected path, bypassing the blocking effect of the glass cover while still providing sufficient illumination for solidification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
