Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from solder to conductive resin, which fundamentally alters the joining mechanism from metallurgical bonding to adhesive bonding with conductive particles. This parameter change eliminates the creep phenomenon that occurs in solder under thermal and mechanical stress, thereby maintaining positional accuracy while still achieving reliable electrical connection.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials by incorporating conductive particles (such as metal粉末) into the resin matrix to create conductive resin. This composite structure combines the advantages of resin (low creep, good adhesion) with conductive particles (electrical conductivity), achieving both electrical connection and positional stability without the drawbacks of pure solder joints.
