Solution Overview

Problem

The yield of electronic component embedded boards is reduced due to malfunctions such as via opening or short-circuiting in the multilayered wiring structure, even when there is no issue with the electric connection between the electronic component and the substrate.

Innovation Solution

The solution involves creating a first and second substrate with multilayered wiring structures, conducting an electric test to ensure they are non-defective, and then embedding the electronic component between them, with a photosensitive resin or other types of resin being used to seal and bond the substrates, ensuring accurate sealing and improved yield.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the multilayered wiring structure is formed after the electronic component is connected to the substrate, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the yield is reduced due to potential malfunctions in the wiring and vias

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by forming the multilayered wiring structure on both substrates before the electronic component connection step. This allows the wiring and vias to be completed in advance, enabling pre-testing of electrical connections and reducing the risk of defects during subsequent assembly operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the manufacturing process into distinct phases: forming multilayered wiring structures on separate substrates, testing them independently, and then assembling them with the electronic component. This segmentation allows for independent optimization and quality control of each subsystem before integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If the space between substrates is not accurately sealed, then the manufacturing process is simpler, but the reliability and protection of the electronic component is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
