Solution Overview

Problem

Existing element transfer sheets struggle to maintain a sufficient interval between elements when expanded, leading to potential issues in transferring and handling semiconductor chips and other components.

Innovation Solution

The element transfer sheet incorporates a base material with specific tensile stress properties, where the tensile stress in the first direction is 12 MPa or more and the second direction is 9 MPa or more, combined with a pressure-sensitive adhesion layer featuring unevenness, to facilitate uniform expansion and increased element spacing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of stationary object

If the sheet is expanded to increase element spacing, then the interval between elements increases, but the uniformity of expansion and element spacing deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterval between elementsVSAvoiduniformity of element spacing
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the tensile stress values in different directions (first direction: 12-25 MPa, second direction: 9-20 MPa) to achieve uniform expansion. By adjusting these stress parameters within specific ranges, the sheet expands uniformly while maintaining consistent element spacing, resolving the contradiction between increasing interval and maintaining uniformity.

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite structure consisting of a base material and a pressure-sensitive adhesion layer with unevenness. This composite material design allows the base material to provide controlled tensile stress for uniform expansion while the adhesion layer maintains element attachment, enabling both increased spacing and uniformity simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Manufacturing precision

If the tensile stress in the first direction is increased to 12 MPa or more, then the expansion control improves, but the material strength requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by specifying precise parameter ranges for tensile stress (first direction: 12-25 MPa, second direction: 9-20 MPa) and base material thickness (50-200 μm). These controlled parameters enable sufficient expansion control while managing material strength requirements through optimized design values within the specified ranges.
