Solution Overview

Problem

Thin multilayer wiring boards face issues with warpage, leading to low mounting yields and reliability, which are exacerbated by the increasing complexity and miniaturization of radio frequency front-end modules in advanced mobile devices.

Innovation Solution

The proposed wiring board design includes a glass core with through holes, first and second adhesion layers, and first and second wiring layers, where the remaining copper ratio in the first wiring layer is set to 70-100%, and the adhesion layer's Young's modulus is 0.1 to 0.85 times that of the wiring layer's, to suppress warpage and enhance connection reliability.

1Length of stationary object

If the thickness of laminated resins is reduced to provide thin RFFMs, then the thickness of packages is reduced, but warpage increases leading to low mounting yields and low reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethickness of packagesVSAvoidmounting yields and connection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the copper remaining ratio in the wiring layer (70-100%) and the Young's modulus ratio between adhesion layer and wiring layer (0.1-0.85 times). These parameter optimizations suppress warpage in thin wiring boards while maintaining package thickness reduction, thereby improving mounting yields and connection reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials by combining the adhesion layer made of at least one specific material with the wiring layer made of different materials having different Young's moduli. This composite structure allows the adhesion layer to compensate for warpage in the thin wiring board while maintaining electrical connectivity and mechanical strength

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent controls warpage by optimizing specific parameters: the copper remaining ratio in the wiring layer is set to 70-100% and the Young's modulus of the adhesion layer is set to 0.1-0.85 times that of the wiring layer. These parameter adjustments enable thin package design while suppressing warpage deformation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesion layer serves as an intermediary between the wiring layer and the substrate. By positioning the adhesion layer at the interface and controlling its mechanical properties (Young's modulus), it acts as a mediator that compensates for warpage forces and maintains planarity in thin wiring boards

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
