Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional semiconductor packages face inefficiencies in heat dissipation due to the need for heat to pass through encapsulants before reaching the circuit board, resulting in poor heat dissipation effects.

Innovation Solution

The electronic package incorporates a routing structure with heat dissipation pads and a heat dissipation member bonded to a carrier structure, allowing for direct heat dissipation from electronic modules and package modules to the external environment through conductive elements and a heat dissipation pad, reducing the heat dissipation path and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

1Temperature

If heat dissipation path is reduced by removing encapsulants, then heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from conventional planar heat dissipation through encapsulants to three-dimensional vertical heat dissipation by stacking package modules directly on the circuit board. This dimensional change allows heat to be conducted directly to the board without passing through horizontal encapsulant layers, significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency while maintaining structural integrity through vertical integration.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and removes the encapsulant layer that traditionally covered the circuit board in conventional packages. By taking out this heat-insulating layer, the invention enables direct thermal contact between the package module and the circuit board, creating an efficient heat dissipation path while reducing the number of intermediate layers that would otherwise complicate the structure.

2Temperature

If encapsulants are removed for direct heat dissipation, then heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but protection and insulation functions are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidprotection and insulation
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent relocates the protective and insulating functions from horizontal encapsulant layers to vertical barrier structures. By positioning insulating layers and protective structures at the interfaces between package modules and the circuit board, the design maintains protection and insulation functions while enabling direct thermal contact through the vertical heat dissipation path.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies protection and insulation properties locally at critical interfaces rather than through comprehensive encapsulation. Insulating layers and protective structures are strategically placed only where needed - at the bonding interfaces between conductive elements and the circuit board - providing sufficient protection and insulation while leaving the rest of the structure open for efficient heat dissipation.

Inventive Principle:
