Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic parts packaging structures face reliability issues due to thermal stress caused by differences in thermal expansion coefficients between materials, leading to cracks and contact failures during thermal cycle testing, and may damage components during the manufacturing process.

Innovation Solution

A method involving the formation of uncured resin layers on a substrate, where electronic parts are embedded within an insulating layer made of the same material, using a two-step curing process in a vacuum atmosphere to prevent damage and reduce thermal stress, allowing for the same material to be used for both layers, thus minimizing thermal expansion discrepancies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If underfill resin is used to bond electronic parts to substrate, then bonding strength is improved, but thermal stress causes cracks and contact failures during thermal cycling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidthermal cycle reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies homogeneity by making the underfill resin and interlayer insulating layer consist of the same material composition. This eliminates material interface boundaries and ensures uniform thermal expansion characteristics throughout the structure, preventing differential thermal stress that would cause cracking during thermal cycling while maintaining bonding strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

2Manufacturing precision

If electronic parts are pushed against uncured resin film for embedding, then embedding is achieved, but mechanical damage occurs to weak electronic parts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveembedding precisionVSAvoidelectronic parts integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical state parameter of the resin from cured to uncured, transforming it from a rigid material into a viscous, deformable medium. This parameter change allows the resin to flow and conform to the electronic parts under minimal pressure, achieving precise embedding without applying the high forces that would mechanically damage fragile components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If different materials are used for underfill resin and interlayer insulating layer, then functional requirements are met, but thermal expansion difference generates stress

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional adaptabilityVSAvoidthermal stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves the contradiction by using the same material for both underfill resin and interlayer insulating layer, creating a homogeneous structure with uniform thermal expansion properties. This eliminates the thermal stress caused by material interfaces while still satisfying functional requirements through proper material selection and layer configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity
