Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the silicon through-holes and micro copper pillars from the chip structure, replacing them with a simplified wire bonding process. This removes the complex hot-pressing bonding step while maintaining electrical connection functionality through alternative means (wire bonds connecting chip pads to substrate pads).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical hot-pressing bonding system with a wire bonding system. Instead of using mechanical pressure and heat to form through-holes and solder connections, the invention uses wire bonding technology to establish electrical connections, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing equipment requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
