Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the chip is disposed on the substrate without tilt angle correction, then the manufacturing process is simple and fast, but the degree of parallelization between chip and substrate is low, causing electrical bonding defects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedegree of parallelizationVSAvoidmanufacturing device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by measuring the tilt angle of the chip holding surface before chip mounting and pre-calculating the correction amount. The holding surface adjusting mechanism is positioned in advance to apply the calculated correction, ensuring the chip mounting surface is properly aligned before the actual bonding process occurs. This prevents bonding defects by addressing the tilt issue proactively rather than reactively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using a measuring mechanism to detect the actual tilt angle of the chip holding surface, comparing it against the ideal parallel alignment, and using this measurement information to calculate and apply the appropriate correction amount through the holding surface adjusting mechanism. This closed-loop feedback system ensures high degree of parallelization while maintaining manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the tilt angle of the chip holding surface is not corrected, then the manufacturing process is fast and efficient, but electrical bonding defects occur due to misalignment between bump electrode and substrate electrode

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical bonding reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary measurement of the holding surface tilt angle and pre-calculates the correction amount before the chip mounting process. This allows the actual bonding operation to proceed quickly with pre-established alignment, maintaining high productivity while ensuring bonding reliability through advance preparation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex mechanical alignment procedures with an automated measurement and calculation system. The measuring mechanism digitally captures the tilt angle, the controller calculates the precise correction amount through computational algorithms, and the holding surface adjusting mechanism applies the correction automatically. This substitution of mechanical trial-and-error alignment with measurement-based computational control maintains productivity while dramatically improving bonding reliability.

Inventive Principle:
