Solution Overview

Problem

Existing embedded component package structures face challenges in ensuring reliable bonding and package processes, leading to inadequate adhesion forces and susceptibility to component detachment during subsequent processing steps.

Innovation Solution

A manufacturing method for an embedded component package structure involves providing a carrier with a semi-cured first dielectric layer, placing a component on it, and applying heat from both the top and bottom to cure the dielectric layer. This method enhances the bonding process by increasing the covering height of the dielectric layer around the component, ensuring secure fixation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the bonding process into two distinct stages: a first bonding stage where the component is initially attached to the package substrate, and a second bonding stage where additional bonding is performed to enhance adhesion. This segmentation allows each stage to optimize for different requirements, ensuring both compact embedding and reliable bonding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs a preliminary bonding action before final component embedding. The first bonding stage prepares the component-substrate interface in advance, creating initial adhesion that is then strengthened in the second bonding stage, preventing detachment during subsequent processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If heat energy is applied from only one side to cure the dielectric layer, then the process is simpler, but the curing uniformity and bonding reliability are insufficient
