Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a photosensitive silicone composition based on silphenylene structure-containing silicone type polymer is used, then film properties are improved, but resolution deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a composite polymer structure combining silphenylene units (for flexibility and film properties) with fluorene units (for high resolution and crosslinking capability). This composite approach allows simultaneous achievement of good film properties and high resolution by integrating the advantages of different molecular structures in a single polymer system.
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional photosensitive resin compositions are used, then processing is simplified, but adhesion to substrate deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters of the photosensitive resin by incorporating specific functional groups (epoxy groups, carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups) in controlled amounts. These parameter changes enhance substrate adhesion through chemical bonding while maintaining ease of processing through standard photolithography procedures.
3Volume of moving object
If thick film form is used, then coverage is improved, but pattern fineness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates crosslinking groups and reactive sites in the polymer structure before the actual patterning process. This preliminary preparation of the molecular structure enables the thick film to maintain its shape and resist diffusion during development, allowing fine patterns to be formed even in thick film form through the pre-established molecular network.
