Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic component housing packages face challenges in achieving high bonding strength between the external connection conductor and the insulating substrate, leading to potential deformation and reduced reliability during hermetic sealing and connection to module substrates.

Innovation Solution

The design incorporates a protruding portion of the external connection conductor that extends into the insulating substrate, connected with an inner layer conductor, enhancing bonding strength and dispersing stress, while a surrounding portion suppresses deformation and ensures firm connection to the module substrate.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If external connection conductors are directly connected to inner layer conductors without a protruding portion, then the structure is simpler, but the bonding strength between conductors and substrate is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidconductor structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The external connection conductor is designed with a protruding portion that extends in the thickness direction (z-axis) of the insulating substrate, transitioning from a planar two-dimensional connection to a three-dimensional structure. This dimensional change allows the conductor to penetrate through the substrate thickness and make contact with the inner layer conductor, thereby achieving sufficient bonding strength without excessive structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Manufacturing precision

If external connection conductors are directly connected to inner layer conductors, then the manufacturing process is simpler, but deformation occurs during bonding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeformation controlVSAvoidbonding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The insulating substrate is positioned between the external connection conductor and the inner layer conductor, acting as a cushioning layer that absorbs and distributes bonding stress. This pre-positioned substrate prevents direct contact and potential deformation between the conductors during the bonding process, while the protruding portion of the external connection conductor extends through the substrate to establish electrical connection without causing deformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Reliability

If conductors are closely positioned for compact design, then the package size is reduced, but stress concentration occurs leading to reliability issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidpackage volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of increasing horizontal spacing between conductors to reduce stress concentration, the design utilizes the thickness direction (z-axis) by extending the external connection conductor as a protruding portion through the insulating substrate. This vertical extension allows electrical connection without requiring additional horizontal space, maintaining compact package volume while improving connection reliability through the substrate's stress-distributing effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
