Electronic Parts Module Manufacturing Using Adhesive Layer with Solder Particles

Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for manufacturing electronic parts modules with both active and passive elements on the same base wiring layer are complex and costly due to the need for different connecting methods, which complicates the production process.

Innovation Solution

A method involving the formation of an adhesive layer with solder particles on the base wiring layer, where the passive element is mounted first, followed by the active element, and then a thermosetting sheet is laminated and thermally pressed to form a resin sealing layer, solidifying the adhesive and melting the solder particles, thus simplifying the production process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If different connecting methods are used for active elements and passive elements, then connection reliability is improved, but manufacturing process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the adhesive layer and solder layer into a single integrated structure. The adhesive layer contains solder particles distributed within it, allowing both adhesive bonding and soldering connections to be achieved through a single application process, eliminating the need for separate adhesive and solder deposition steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical adhesion to hold the element in place, contains solder particles for electrical connection, and acts as a sealing matrix. This multi-functional design allows the same layer to serve both bonding and connecting purposes for different element types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Manufacturing precision

If separate mounting processes are used for passive elements and active elements, then mounting precision is improved, but production time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer with embedded solder particles is applied in advance to all mounting positions before elements are placed. This preliminary preparation allows elements to be mounted sequentially without requiring separate adhesive application steps for each element, reducing overall production time while maintaining precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Strength

If multiple layers (adhesive layer and solder layer) are used, then connection strength is improved, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the adhesive layer and solder layer into a single composite adhesive layer where solder particles are distributed within the adhesive matrix. This eliminates the need for separate adhesive and solder layers, reducing material costs and simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining both adhesive bonding strength and solder connection strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
