Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional packaging methods for electronic devices suffer from the generation of fluffs and burrs during sheet molding, which can cause faults in electronic devices, particularly with the miniaturization of these devices.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device packaging sheet is developed with a substrate layer comprising a thermoplastic resin combined with high molecular weight (meth)acrylic acid ester copolymers and styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers, specifically within a range of 700,000-4,300,000 weight-average molecular weight, to inhibit the generation of fluffs and burrs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional thermoplastic resins are used for packaging sheets, then manufacturing is simple and cost-effective, but fluffs and burrs are generated during molding which cause faults in electronic devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefault reduction in electronic devicesVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining thermoplastic resin with specific copolymers (styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer or (meth)acrylic acid ester copolymer having weight-average molecular weight of 700,000-4,300,000) in a layered structure. This composite approach eliminates fluffs and burrs during molding while maintaining ease of manufacture through standard packaging sheet processing methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If polyolefin or styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer is blended in substrate layer, then burr and fluff generation is reduced, but the reduction is insufficient and film formability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveburr and fluff reductionVSAvoidfilm formability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by specifying precise parameters for the copolymer components: weight-average molecular weight of 700,000-4,300,000 and specific monomer compositions (styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer with 25-75 mass% acrylonitrile or (meth)acrylic acid ester copolymer with 4-8 carbon number alkyl group). These controlled parameter changes achieve both effective burr/fluff reduction and maintained film formability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials with specific composition ratios (thermoplastic resin 70-99 mass%, copolymer 1-30 mass%) to simultaneously achieve burr and fluff reduction while preserving film formability. The layered composite structure allows each material to contribute its advantageous properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If high molecular weight copolymers are used to inhibit burrs and fluffs, then defect generation is reduced, but processing difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedefect reductionVSAvoidprocessing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes processing ease by controlling the molecular weight parameter within 700,000-4,300,000 and specifying precise copolymer compositions. This parameter optimization ensures that while burr and fluff generation is effectively inhibited, the materials remain processable using conventional packaging sheet manufacturing methods.
