1Temperature

If traditional plastic packaging material is used for embedding and packaging, then the packaging structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the heat dissipation performance is insufficient for high-frequency, high-speed, and high-power products

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation performanceVSAvoidpackaging structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses composite materials consisting of metal layers (copper or aluminum) combined with dielectric materials to create a metal core substrate. This composite structure provides both the mechanical properties needed for packaging and superior thermal conductivity for heat dissipation, resolving the contradiction between simple packaging structure and adequate heat dissipation performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the heat dissipation function from the traditional plastic packaging material and implements it through a separate metal core substrate with dedicated heat dissipation structures (heat dissipation plates and copper columns). This separation allows the packaging structure to maintain simplicity while the metal substrate handles thermal management independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Temperature

If organic polymer material with good heat dissipation is used, then the heat dissipation capability is improved, but it still cannot solve the heat dissipation problem of high-frequency, high-speed, and high-power embedded products

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent fundamentally changes the thermal conductivity parameter by transitioning from organic polymer materials to metal materials (copper or aluminum) with inherently superior thermal conductivity. This parameter change enables effective heat dissipation for high-power applications that organic materials cannot achieve, while the metal core substrate maintains structural reliability.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates heat dissipation plates and copper columns into the substrate during the initial manufacturing process before final packaging assembly. The microchannels are also formed in advance within the dielectric layer. These preliminary actions integrate heat dissipation structures into the manufacturing flow, reducing the need for complex post-assembly operations and maintaining ease of manufacture while achieving enhanced heat dissipation effectiveness.
