Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional chip packaging structures face inefficiencies due to the separate manufacturing of passive components and integrated circuits, leading to increased material costs and inconsistent quality, as well as high resistance/capacitance loading effects that hinder operational efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A chip packaging structure where a passive component is integrated directly on the chip with electrodes connected to bonding pads and metal lines, allowing for reduced resistance/capacitance load effects through a conductive layer connection, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and speed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If passive components are separately manufactured from the chip and integrated through packaging process, then manufacturing consistency and quality control are improved, but device complexity and material costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality consistencyVSAvoidpackaging structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the passive component and chip into a single integrated structure where the passive component is formed directly on the chip substrate. This eliminates the need for separate packaging processes and reduces structural complexity while maintaining manufacturing consistency through a unified fabrication process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Volume of moving object

If passive components are manufactured within the same chip, then device volume is reduced, but material costs and quality consistency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechip volumeVSAvoidpassive component quality consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines passive and active components on the same chip substrate using a unified fabrication process, achieving volume reduction while maintaining quality consistency through integrated manufacturing rather than separate processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Strength

If a gap is kept between passive components and chip during die bonding, then collision prevention is achieved, but resistance/capacitance loading effect increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollision preventionVSAvoidresistance/capacitance loading effect
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the passive component structure with the chip substrate, eliminating the need for separation gaps. The passive component electrodes are directly connected to bonding pads through conductive layers on the same substrate, reducing resistance/capacitance loading effects while the integrated structure inherently prevents collision during bonding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Reliability

If extensive conductive lines are used to connect passive components and integrated circuit, then electrical connection is achieved, but power consumption and noise increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the connection path by forming conductive layers directly on the chip substrate that connect passive component electrodes to bonding pads without requiring extensive external conductive lines. This reduces the length and complexity of current paths, thereby reducing power consumption and noise while maintaining reliable electrical connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
