A mounting wiring board with a heat generation pattern on the electrode portion, using a dielectric base and a magnetic or conductive heat generation pattern, is heated by a standing wave microwave to efficiently melt solder and mount electronic devices without damaging the base or components, utilizing a microwave heating apparatus with a cavity resonator to control heating conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If microwave irradiation is used for heating solder, then heating time is reduced and heating efficiency is improved, but smaller electronic components do not absorb enough microwave energy resulting in insufficient solder melting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating speedVSAvoidsolder melting completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A heat generation pattern made of magnetic powder or ferrite is introduced as an intermediary substance between the microwave field and the solder. This intermediary absorbs microwave energy and converts it to heat, which is then transferred to the solder, ensuring reliable solder melting even for small components that would otherwise not absorb enough microwave energy directly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the heating mechanism from direct microwave absorption by solder to indirect heating via a heat generation pattern with specific magnetic properties. By controlling the material composition (magnetic powder concentration, ferrite type) and physical parameters (pattern thickness, area) of the heat generation pattern, the heating efficiency and temperature distribution can be optimized for components of various sizes

Inventive Principle:
