Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional flip-chip mounting technologies experience void formation in under fill resin at high temperatures, leading to reduced adhesiveness, thermal conductivity, and humidity resistance.

Innovation Solution

A semiconductor device and manufacturing method involving a melted resin subjected to fluid pressure to prevent void formation, with a resin sheet covering the chip and substrate to ensure even resin distribution and absorption, using a press portion to apply fluid pressure and harden the resin.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If flip-chip mounting is performed at high temperature, then mounting efficiency is improved, but void formation in under fill resin occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting efficiencyVSAvoidvoid formation in under fill resin
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The under fill resin is applied to the substrate before the flip-chip mounting process. This preliminary action ensures that the resin is in position to fill voids as they form during high-temperature mounting, preventing void formation while maintaining mounting efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The viscosity of the under fill resin is changed by controlling its temperature and chemical composition. By adjusting these parameters, the resin becomes sufficiently fluid to fill voids during high-temperature mounting but maintains proper adhesion properties after curing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If under fill resin is provided between substrate and semiconductor chip, then foreign substance intrusion is restrained, but void formation occurs reducing adhesiveness and thermal conductivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveforeign substance intrusionVSAvoidadhesiveness and thermal conductivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The under fill resin continuously fills and seals voids that form during the flip-chip mounting process. This continuous action ensures that foreign substance intrusion is prevented while maintaining the adhesiveness and thermal conductivity of the resin by eliminating voids

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The under fill resin is formulated as a composite material with specific viscosity and adhesion properties. This composite formulation allows the resin to effectively fill voids, restrain foreign substance intrusion, and maintain high adhesiveness and thermal conductivity simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
