Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic packages and manufacturing methods are inadequate, leading to excess cost, decreased reliability, and large package sizes.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a substrate with a dielectric and conductive structure, a first electronic component coupled with a conductive structure, an encapsulant covering the lateral side, a lid, and an adhesive between the electronic component and the lid, along with a manufacturing process that includes providing a lid with adhesive, an electronic component, and a substrate over the encapsulant.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of stationary object

If conventional electronic packages and manufacturing methods are used, then manufacturing experience is gained, but package size becomes too large, cost increases, and reliability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage sizeVSAvoidpackage reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic component is divided into two functional sides: a first side with input/output terminals for signal input, and a second side with embedded terminals for signal output. This segmentation allows each side to be optimized independently, reducing overall package size while maintaining reliability through dedicated terminal configurations for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from conventional two-dimensional surface mounting to three-dimensional integration by embedding terminals within the electronic component body. This dimensional change allows terminals to be positioned inside the component rather than only on the surface, reducing package size while improving signal integrity and reliability

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

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional electronic packages are used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but cost increases and performance decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidmanufacturing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Input/output terminals and embedded terminals are pre-formed on the first and second sides of the electronic component during component fabrication, before assembly into the final package. This preliminary action simplifies the manufacturing process by eliminating subsequent terminal formation steps and enables more efficient assembly operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple functions into a single integrated electronic component structure: the component body houses both input/output terminals and embedded terminals, encapsulants provide both protection and electrical isolation, and the lid serves as both a protective cover and a mounting surface for external components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
