Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a circuit board with high wiring density is used as a chip carrier, then the contact number increases, but warping occurs and structural strength becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact numberVSAvoidstructural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite structure consisting of a circuit board combined with a supporting structure made of different materials (e.g., metal or rigid polymer). This composite design provides both the high wiring density needed for increased contact numbers and the additional structural reinforcement required to prevent warping and improve overall strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting structure is divided into multiple segments including first and second supporting structures positioned at different locations on the circuit board. This segmentation allows the structure to provide distributed reinforcement across the board, effectively preventing warping while maintaining flexibility in design and manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a circuit board with high wiring density is used as a chip carrier, then the contact number increases, but warping occurs during manufacturing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact numberVSAvoidwarping
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

By combining the circuit board with a supporting structure made of materials having different mechanical properties, the composite structure achieves both high wiring density for increased contacts and enhanced dimensional stability to prevent warping during manufacturing and operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting structure extends in dimensions beyond the planar circuit board, providing three-dimensional reinforcement. This additional dimensional support helps counteract the warping forces that occur during manufacturing processes and ensures stable composition throughout the product lifecycle.

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

3Strength

If supporting structures are added to increase structural strength, then structural strength improves, but production cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting structure is segmented into multiple parts (first supporting structure, second supporting structure) that can be manufactured separately using standard manufacturing processes and then assembled to the circuit board. This segmentation enables modular production, reducing overall manufacturing complexity and cost while still providing the necessary structural strength enhancement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
