Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional semiconductor packages face challenges in miniaturization due to the presence of a die attach film between the semiconductor chip and the wiring structure, which hinders the thinning of the overall package thickness.

Innovation Solution

The proposed electronic package design features a wiring structure with a groove space, where the electronic element is embedded within the encapsulation layer, eliminating the need for a die attach film. This design allows for the thinning of the package thickness by forming the wiring structure with a groove space after removing the carrier board and conductive layer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If a die attach film is formed between the semiconductor chip and the wiring structure, then the electrical connection is ensured, but the overall thickness of the semiconductor package cannot be thinned

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage thicknessVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts and removes the die attach film from the package structure. By eliminating this intermediate layer, the patent achieves direct bonding between the semiconductor chip and wiring structure, thereby reducing package thickness while maintaining connection reliability through direct electrical contact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent embeds the semiconductor chip directly into the wiring structure without an intermediate die attach film. The chip is nested within the package structure and directly bonded to the wiring structure, eliminating the need for a separate adhesive layer and reducing overall thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Ease of manufacture

If a die attach film is used to bond the semiconductor chip, then the bonding process is simplified, but the package thickness increases and miniaturization is hindered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding process simplicityVSAvoidpackage thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges the semiconductor chip bonding process with the wiring structure formation process. By directly bonding the chip to the wiring structure without a separate die attach film, the patent simplifies the overall manufacturing process while reducing package thickness, eliminating the need for additional adhesive material and processing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Length of moving object

If the semiconductor chip is directly bonded to the wiring structure without a die attach film, then the package thickness is reduced, but the risk of peeling and void issues increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage thicknessVSAvoidpeeling and void issues
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a temporary carrier substrate during the bonding process that is removed after bonding. This temporary support structure provides mechanical strength during manufacturing but is discarded afterward, allowing direct chip-to-wiring bonding without permanent adhesive layers that could cause peeling or void issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)
