Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If silicon bridge embedding method is used to prepare inter-chip fine interconnection line, then electrical interconnection between chips is achieved, but mounting position accuracy and spacing position accuracy cannot be controlled, leading to alignment difficulties

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical interconnection reliabilityVSAvoidmounting position accuracy and spacing position accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a carrier as an intermediary substrate that pre-carries the fine interconnection lines. This carrier serves as a mediator between the chip mounting process and the interconnection formation, enabling precise positioning of chips relative to the interconnection lines while maintaining reliable electrical connections. The carrier's structured design with positioning features ensures both mounting accuracy and spacing control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If silicon bridge embedding method is used, then inter-chip interconnection is achieved, but the process cost increases and manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinter-chip interconnectionVSAvoidmanufacturing cost and process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-forming the fine interconnection lines and their positioning structures on the carrier before chip mounting. This advance preparation eliminates the need for complex post-mounting alignment and interconnection formation steps, reducing overall manufacturing complexity and cost while ensuring reliable inter-chip interconnection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If traditional fan-out package method is used, then chip packaging is achieved, but spacing position accuracy between chips cannot be controlled

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechip packaging processabilityVSAvoidspacing position accuracy between chips
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by incorporating specific positioning structures and spacing features at critical locations on the carrier. These localized structural features ensure precise spacing control between chips at their mounting positions while maintaining overall processability of the packaging operation. The carrier's design provides local precision where needed without compromising global manufacturability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
