Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for manufacturing semiconductor devices using a temporary fixing method with a carrier face challenges in efficiently producing devices with a curable resin film that provides adequate tackiness and low light transmissivity for easy separation from the carrier.

Innovation Solution

A curable resin film with tackiness and low light transmissivity is developed, featuring a support film, a curable resin film with a light absorbing agent, and a method for producing semiconductor devices that includes forming a temporary fixing laminated body and removing the carrier using laser irradiation, ensuring efficient semiconductor device manufacturing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a curable resin film with tackiness is used for temporary fixing, then bonding strength to carrier and chips is improved, but light transmissivity increases making separation difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidlight transmissivity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the optical parameter (light transmissivity) of the curable resin film by incorporating a light absorbing agent, while maintaining the bonding parameter (tackiness) through proper resin formulation. This allows the film to have both strong bonding capability and low light transmissivity (20% or less at 355 nm), resolving the contradiction between bonding strength and light transmissivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The curable resin film is formulated as a composite material containing both tackifying agents (for bonding strength) and light absorbing agents (for low transmissivity). This composite approach allows simultaneous achievement of strong adhesion to carrier and chips while blocking UV light to facilitate easy separation after curing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Adaptability or versatility

If the carrier is removed after sealing, then device flexibility is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice flexibilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The curable resin film is designed with preliminary separation functionality - the light absorbing agent is incorporated before curing so that after the film cures and provides structural support, UV light irradiation can easily separate the carrier from the sealed device. This preliminary design of separation capability simplifies the removal process while maintaining manufacturing flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
