Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic component modules face issues with low adhesion between resin and metal, leading to a high likelihood of through wiring detachment from the resin structure body.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a close-contact layer with an inorganic insulation film between the resin structure body and through wiring, which enhances adhesion and prevents detachment, while also providing moisture resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a through wiring is covered by a resin structure body, then the through wiring is protected and integrated into the module, but adhesion between the through wiring and resin structure body is low, resulting in easy detachment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion between through wiring and resin structure bodyVSAvoidbonding strength between resin and metal
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

An inorganic insulation film is introduced as an intermediary layer between the through wiring (metal) and the resin structure body. This film serves as a mediator that improves adhesion between the metal through wiring and the resin, preventing detachment while maintaining the protective covering function. The inorganic insulation film is formed on the through wiring before the resin structure body is applied, creating a three-layer structure that resolves the adhesion problem.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If adhesion between resin and metal is low, then the manufacturing process is simpler, but the through wiring easily detaches from the resin structure body

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment reliability of through wiringVSAvoidstructure complexity with close-contact layer
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The inorganic insulation film is formed on the through wiring in advance, before the resin structure body is applied. This preliminary action of coating the through wiring with the insulation film ensures that when the resin is subsequently applied, the adhesion interface is already optimized. The close-contact layer is prepared beforehand to prevent detachment issues that would otherwise require complex retroactive repairs or redesigns.

AI summary

An electronic component module includes an electronic component, a resin structure body, a through wiring, a wiring layer, and a close-contact layer. The resin structure body covers at least a portion of the electronic component. The through wiring extends through the resin structure body. The wiring layer electrically connects the electronic component and the through wiring to each other. The close-contact layer is provided between the resin structure body and the through wiring and is in contact with the resin structure body and the through wiring. The close-contact layer includes an inorganic insulation film.
