Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multilayer resin substrates face challenges in ensuring adhesion between different layers and preventing deformation and cracking at the boundary between rigid and flexible portions.

Innovation Solution

The multilayer resin substrate is designed with identical crystalline thermoplastic resin layers for the multilayer substrate portion and the mounting portion, ensuring high adhesion. The mounting portion undergoes a temperature raising/lowering process to increase crystallinity and elastic modulus, while the substrate portion has a lower elastic modulus, reducing deformation and stress concentration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If different materials are used for the multilayer substrate and mounted components, then material selection flexibility is improved, but adhesion between layers deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial selection flexibilityVSAvoidadhesion between layers
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies homogeneity by using the same crystalline thermoplastic resin material for both the multilayer substrate and the mounted components. This ensures that the resin layers have identical chemical composition and physical properties, creating strong adhesion through direct bonding without requiring special adhesive layers or surface treatments. The homogeneous material composition allows the layers to bond naturally at the molecular level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

2Stability of the object's composition

If the multilayer substrate is made rigid to prevent deformation, then structural stability is improved, but stress concentration at boundaries worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidstress concentration and cracking
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating a rigid mounted portion through heat treatment while keeping the multilayer substrate portion relatively flexible. The mounted portion undergoes crystallization treatment to increase its elastic modulus and rigidity, while the substrate maintains its original properties. This localized differentiation allows the mounted portion to be rigid for stability while the substrate remains flexible to absorb stress and prevent cracking at boundaries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the crystallinity and elastic modulus of the mounted portion through heat treatment. By controlling the temperature and duration of heating, the crystallinity of the mounted portion is increased, which changes its mechanical properties from flexible to rigid. This parameter change allows the same material to exhibit different mechanical behaviors in different regions, achieving both stability and stress relief.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If the number of laminated insulator layers is increased to provide thicker regions, then functional capacity is improved, but adhesion and structural integrity worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional capacityVSAvoidadhesion and structural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies homogeneity by ensuring that all resin layers, including those with different thicknesses, are made of the same crystalline thermoplastic resin material. This homogeneous material composition ensures that each layer bonds strongly to its neighbors through direct bonding, maintaining adhesion and structural integrity even when the number of layers and total thickness vary to accommodate different functional requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity
