Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional bonding processes are used to attach light emitting chips to package bodies, then the bonding process is simple and fast, but misalignment and twisting occur leading to reduced reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-forming concave portions on the package body electrodes and convex portions on the light emitting chip bottom surface before the bonding process. These pre-formed geometric features guide the chip-electrode alignment during bonding, preventing misalignment and twisting that would otherwise occur during the attachment process. This preliminary structural preparation ensures reliable bonding without requiring complex real-time alignment control.
2Manufacturing precision
If conventional flat electrode structures are used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but misalignment and twisting occur during bonding reducing positioning accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by introducing non-planar geometric features (concave portions on electrodes and corresponding convex portions on the chip) to the otherwise symmetric flat bonding interface. This asymmetric structural design creates a unique fit between the chip and electrode, providing mechanical guidance that prevents rotation and misalignment during bonding, thereby significantly improving positioning precision.
3Reliability
If conventional bonding without geometric interlocking is used, then the bonding process is fast and simple, but twisting occurs leading to reduced device reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the nesting principle by creating a hierarchical geometric interlocking structure where the convex portion on the chip fits into the concave portion on the electrode, forming a nested configuration. This nested geometric relationship provides mechanical constraint that prevents twisting during and after bonding, enhancing device reliability while maintaining a relatively simple bonding process.
