Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional printed circuit board structure is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but defects occur and yield is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveyieldVSAvoidboard structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The printed circuit board is divided into a first substrate portion and a second substrate portion that are coupled together. The first substrate portion includes a first insulating portion with first wiring layers, while the second substrate portion includes a second insulating portion with second wiring layers. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each substrate portion, preventing defects while maintaining manufacturing feasibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses composite material structures where the first and second substrate portions are coupled through a coupling portion that may include resin layers and conductive patterns. This composite structure combines the advantages of different material properties to improve yield and prevent defects while managing the complexity through systematic material integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If multichip packages are mounted for AI data processing, then data processing capability increases, but heat dissipation becomes problematic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing capabilityVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The invention addresses heat dissipation by extending the thermal management solution into the vertical dimension. The coupling portion between the first and second substrate portions provides thermal pathways that conduct heat away from the multichip packages. The resin layers and conductive patterns are arranged in three-dimensional configurations to create efficient heat dissipation routes without limiting the data processing capability.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If fine circuits are implemented on the board, then multichip packages can be mounted, but manufacturing defects increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent mounting capabilityVSAvoiddefect rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the circuit board into first and second substrate portions with separate insulating and wiring layers, the invention allows fine circuits to be implemented on each portion independently. This segmentation reduces the complexity of manufacturing fine circuits across the entire board, thereby reducing defect rates while maintaining the capability to mount multichip packages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
