Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If the wiring structure is miniaturized and multilayered to achieve high density mounting and downsizing, then the substrate footprint is reduced and mounting density is improved, but production time increases and production yields decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate footprintVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate is divided into multiple layers with wirings distributed across different levels. This segmentation allows parallel processing of wiring formation on each layer, reducing overall production time while achieving high density mounting through vertical stacking of wiring layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wiring structure transitions from two-dimensional planar arrangement to three-dimensional multilayer configuration. By adding the vertical dimension with multiple wiring layers, the substrate achieves higher mounting density without increasing footprint, while standardized layer stacking processes improve production efficiency.

Solution Approach 1:

The complex wiring structure is segmented into multiple standardized layers, each with defined functions and connection patterns. This modular segmentation simplifies the manufacturing process for each layer while achieving overall high density, thereby improving production yields despite the multilayered configuration.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

Standardized parameters are established for wiring layer thickness, spacing, and material properties. By controlling these parameters across all layers, the complexity of miniaturized multilayered wiring is managed systematically, ensuring consistent quality and high production yields.

3Quantity of substance

If expensive semiconductor chips are embedded in the substrate with miniaturized multilayered wiring, then high density mounting is achieved, but lower production yields lead to waste of expensive chips

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Wiring structures and connection patterns are pre-formed on substrate layers before semiconductor chip mounting. This preliminary preparation allows for pre-validation of wiring integrity and connection accuracy, enabling early detection of defects before expensive chips are attached, thereby reducing chip waste while achieving high mounting density.

Solution Approach 1:

The wiring formation process is segmented into independent layer-specific operations that can be performed in parallel. Each wiring layer is processed separately with standardized procedures, allowing simultaneous fabrication of multiple layers and reducing total production time despite the multilayered complexity.

Inventive Principle:
