Solution Overview

Problem

The existing manufacturing process for electronic devices using laser transfer technology is complex and results in a low yield rate due to the multiple steps required for transferring and fixing electronic components from one carrier to another before bonding them to a final substrate.

Innovation Solution

A simplified manufacturing method involving a first substrate with electronic components and a target substrate separated by a distance, where adhesive material is applied to the components, and then transferred using a laser process to attach them to the target substrate via an adhesive layer, which can be anisotropic conductive paste or flux, simplifying the bonding process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional multi-step laser transfer process is used to transfer electronic components from one carrier to another before bonding, then the components can be fixed on the final substrate, but the manufacturing process complexity increases and yield rate decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyield rateVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the transfer process and bonding process into a single integrated operation. The adhesive layer is applied to the target substrate before the transfer process, so that when electronic components are transferred via laser, they are simultaneously bonded to the substrate. This eliminates the need for separate transfer and bonding steps, reducing process complexity and improving yield rate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer is applied in advance to the target substrate before the transfer process begins. This preliminary action ensures that the bonding capability is already in place, so that when the electronic components are transferred, they can be immediately bonded without requiring additional bonding steps afterward.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If multiple transfer steps are performed to move electronic components between carriers, then components reach the final substrate, but the manufacturing time increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing efficiencyVSAvoidmanufacturing cycle time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the transfer operation and bonding operation into a single simultaneous process. By having the adhesive layer already in place on the target substrate, the laser transfer process accomplishes both the physical transfer of components and their bonding to the substrate in one step, eliminating the time required for separate bonding operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The process maintains continuous useful action by eliminating idle time between transfer and bonding operations. The adhesive layer is prepared in advance, so that the moment components are transferred, they are immediately bonded without interruption, maximizing the efficiency of each step in the manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
