Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If uniform pressure is applied during molding, then substrate contamination is prevented, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate contamination preventionVSAvoidmolding process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The negative patterned substrate is prepared in advance with recessed regions that will contain the molding resin. This preliminary structuring of the substrate allows the molding process to proceed with simpler pressure application, as the resin containment is already built into the substrate geometry rather than requiring complex real-time pressure control during molding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The negative patterned substrate acts as an intermediary structure between the molding resin and the heat release metal layers. The recessed regions of the substrate serve as containment chambers that mediate the interaction between the resin and the substrate surface, preventing direct contact and contamination while simplifying the molding process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

The radiation fins are merged with the negative patterned substrate as an integrated structure. The fins are formed as part of the substrate manufacturing process, combining the thermal management function with the structural substrate, thereby improving heat radiation efficiency without significantly increasing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
