Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in manufacturing double-sided mounting-type electronic device modules is the difficulty in forming external connection terminals and shielding films that effectively shield electromagnetic waves while maintaining a compact and high-performance design.

Innovation Solution

The solution involves a double-sided mounting configuration where electronic devices are mounted on both surfaces of a substrate, with a second substrate bonded to the first, featuring a shielding member integrated into a molded portion to accommodate and shield electronic devices, and a manufacturing method that includes forming external connection terminals using a separate substrate and embedding a shielding member within a molded portion to prevent electromagnetic interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If electronic components are mounted on both surfaces of a substrate to increase integration density, then the degree of integration is improved, but it becomes difficult to form external connection terminals and shielding films

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration densityVSAvoidease of forming external connection terminals and shielding films
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate is divided into two separate substrates: a first substrate for mounting electronic components and a second substrate for forming external connection terminals and accommodating shielding members. This segmentation allows each substrate to be optimized for its specific function, resolving the conflict between high integration density and ease of manufacturing connection terminals and shielding films.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a shielding film is formed to shield electromagnetic waves, then electromagnetic shielding is improved, but the device size and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectromagnetic shieldingVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding member is disposed inside the device accommodating part of the second substrate, nested within the modular structure. This nesting approach provides effective electromagnetic shielding while maintaining a compact form factor and avoiding the need for additional external shielding layers that would increase device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If external connection terminals are formed on the substrate, then connectivity is improved, but it becomes difficult to maintain compact device size

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconnectivityVSAvoiddevice size
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

External connection terminals are formed on the second substrate which is bonded to the opposite surface of the first substrate from the electronic components. This spatial arrangement in another dimension allows multiple connection terminals to be packed in a compact area without increasing the overall device volume, while still providing adequate connectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
