Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If a conventional package structure without a metal plate is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the thermal resistance increases and heat dissipation efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethermal resistanceVSAvoidpackage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A metal plate is introduced as an intermediary component between the package body and the semiconductor device. This metal plate serves as a thermal conductor to improve heat dissipation from the light emitting device, while the insulating layer acts as a mediator to provide electrical isolation. The intermediary components resolve the thermal management issue without requiring complete redesign of the entire package structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The package structure employs composite material arrangement by combining metal layers with high thermal conductivity for heat dissipation, insulating layers with low thermal conductivity for electrical isolation, and resin materials for structural support. This composite approach allows simultaneous optimization of thermal and electrical properties within the package.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Temperature

If the package body is made of silicon material with a cavity, then the heat radiation capability is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat radiation efficiencyVSAvoidcavity formation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The package body is designed with a cavity structure that creates local quality differences - the cavity region provides enhanced heat radiation capability while other regions maintain structural integrity. The metal plate is strategically positioned at specific locations (under the light emitting device or on the package body) to provide localized thermal management where it is most needed, rather than requiring uniform thermal properties throughout the entire structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If a metal plate is disposed between the package body and the semiconductor device, then the heat transfer efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat transfer efficiencyVSAvoidpackage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The metal plate functions as a thermal intermediary that facilitates efficient heat transfer from the semiconductor device to the package body. By positioning the metal plate at strategic locations rather than throughout the entire structure, the design achieves improved heat transfer efficiency while minimizing the increase in structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
