Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple chips are integrated into a single package structure, then functionality and performance are improved, but package size increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidpackage size
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional planar arrangement of chips to a three-dimensional stacked configuration. Multiple chips (first chip, second chip, third chip) are arranged vertically along the thickness direction, with redistribution layers and dielectric bodies interleaved between them. This vertical stacking enables multiple chips to be integrated within a compact footprint, improving functionality while controlling package size.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a nested structure where redistribution layers and dielectric bodies are embedded within and between chip layers. The first redistribution layer is disposed on the first chip, the second redistribution layer is embedded in the second dielectric body, and these intermediate structures are nested within the overall package volume. This nesting approach maximizes space utilization, allowing multiple functional layers to coexist in a compact three-dimensional arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Volume of moving object

If chips are arranged in a compact configuration, then package size is reduced, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage sizeVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the package structure into distinct modular segments: first chip, first dielectric body, first redistribution layer, second chip, second dielectric body, second redistribution layer, and third chip. Each segment can be independently prepared and then assembled through stacking. This segmentation simplifies manufacturing by allowing parallel processing of individual components before final integration, reducing the overall manufacturing complexity despite the compact three-dimensional configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If multiple redistribution layers are added to connect chips, then electrical connectivity is improved, but structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectivityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functions into the dielectric bodies and redistribution layers. The dielectric bodies serve both as insulating layers and as structural support elements that hold the redistribution layers. The redistribution layers are integrated within the dielectric structures rather than being separate components, reducing the total number of discrete elements. This merging approach improves electrical connectivity between chips while minimizing the increase in structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
