Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wafer level packaging technologies limit the functionality and efficiency of semiconductor packages due to the placement of semiconductor elements on a single side of the circuit structure, restricting the performance of end electronic products.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves an electronic package design with a first and second encapsulant, conductive posts, and circuit structures on both surfaces, allowing a first and second electronic component to be arranged on opposite sides of a circuit structure, enhancing multi-functionality and efficiency by electrical connections through conductive elements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If semiconductor elements are disposed on a single side of the circuit structure using conventional WLP technologies, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the functionality and efficiency of the semiconductor package are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidpackage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from single-sided component placement to dual-sided component placement by adding a second circuit structure on the opposite side of the first encapsulant. This dimensional change allows semiconductor elements to be disposed on both the first and second sides, effectively utilizing three-dimensional space and doubling the functional capacity of the package without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity

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

2Productivity

If semiconductor elements are disposed on a single side of the circuit structure, then the device structure is simple, but the efficiency of the semiconductor package is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveefficiencyVSAvoidcircuit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the package into two functional segments: a first circuit structure on one side of the encapsulant and a second circuit structure on the opposite side. Each segment can independently host semiconductor elements and perform specific functions, allowing parallel operation and improved overall efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If conventional single-sided packaging is used, then the manufacturing process is straightforward, but the performance of end electronic products is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary actions in the fabrication process by first forming the first encapsulant and first circuit structure, then adding the second circuit structure and second semiconductor elements in subsequent steps. This staged approach allows each layer to be manufactured and tested independently before integration, improving overall product reliability while keeping the fabrication process systematic and manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
