Solution Overview

Problem

Existing package structures face issues with adhesive application, where excessive adhesive can mar the appearance and insufficient adhesive can lead to detachment of the housing from the substrate, resulting in an unsatisfactory bonding effect.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating an adhesion enhancement structure with encircled or semi-encircled holes and a wall portion that directs adhesive to create an undercut, enhancing bonding between the housing and substrate while controlling adhesive distribution to prevent excess from reaching the chip module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If adhesive is applied too much, then bonding strength between housing and substrate is improved, but appearance of package structure is adversely affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidappearance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesion enhancement structure introduces localized geometric features (encircled or semi-encircled holes) at specific positions on the housing, creating areas of concentrated adhesion enhancement without requiring excessive adhesive application across the entire bonding surface. This localized approach improves bonding strength while maintaining overall appearance quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Shape

If adhesive is applied too little, then appearance of package structure is maintained, but housing may be detached from substrate (peeling)

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveappearanceVSAvoidbonding reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesion enhancement structure incorporates encircled or semi-encircled holes that function as porous or cavity features. These holes increase the effective bonding area and provide mechanical interlocking for the adhesive, enabling reliable bonding with reduced adhesive quantity while maintaining appearance quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

3Shape

If adhesive is reduced to maintain appearance, then appearance quality is improved, but adhesion area is insufficient leading to peeling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveappearance qualityVSAvoidadhesion area
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesion enhancement structure transitions from a two-dimensional flat bonding surface to a three-dimensional structure with encircled or semi-encircled holes. This dimensional change increases the effective adhesion area by creating additional bonding surfaces within the holes and along the walls, allowing sufficient adhesion with reduced adhesive quantity while maintaining appearance quality.

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