Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic component packaging methods require electrical testing after component mounting, leading to significant waste when the package is defective, as both the component and wiring layer may need to be discarded.

Innovation Solution

An electronic component package design that includes a wiring part with an insulating layer and conductive pattern, a frame with a through hole for the component, an adhesive layer bonding the parts, and an encapsulant, allowing for pre-mounting electrical inspection and reducing unnecessary component disposal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If electrical testing is performed after component mounting, then the package can be tested for functionality, but significant waste occurs when the package is defective as both the component and wiring layer must be discarded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage functionalityVSAvoidcomponent and wiring layer waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs electrical testing on the wiring layer before mounting the electronic component. This preliminary action allows detection of wiring defects prior to component attachment, preventing waste of both the expensive component and wiring layer when defects are found, thereby resolving the contradiction between ensuring package reliability and minimizing material waste

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Volume of moving object

If the package structure is miniaturized to meet demand for smaller components, then component size is reduced, but the complexity of manufacturing and testing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent sizeVSAvoidmanufacturing and testing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the manufacturing process into distinct stages: wiring layer fabrication, electrical testing of wiring layer, component mounting, and final package testing. This segmentation allows the wiring layer to be tested independently before component attachment, simplifying the overall manufacturing process despite miniaturization requirements and enabling defect detection at appropriate stages without increasing overall complexity
