A semiconductor device with a conductive section formed on the substrate obverse face, allowing for finer and denser conduction paths, and conductive bonding between spaced sections, enabling shorter connections and greater design flexibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple leads are used to constitute conduction paths to the control chip, then the number of control signals can be increased, but the degree of integration of the semiconductor device deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of control signalsVSAvoiddegree of integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive section is formed on the substrate obverse face (a different dimension/plane) instead of using traditional leads extending from the substrate reverse face. This dimensional change allows conduction paths to be routed on the same plane as the control chip, enabling finer lines and higher density connections without increasing device complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The conductive section is divided into multiple sections (first section, second section, etc.) that are spaced apart and can be independently connected to different control signals. This segmentation allows multiple control signals to be accommodated while maintaining a compact integrated structure on the substrate obverse face

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If conduction paths are formed using traditional metal leads, then connection between substrate and control chip is achieved, but the conduction paths cannot be formed of finer lines and in higher density

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveline density and fineness of conduction pathsVSAvoidconduction path structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Traditional mechanical metal leads are replaced with a conductive section formed by conductive material on the substrate obverse face. This substitution enables the formation of finer lines and higher density conduction paths that can be precisely patterned on the substrate surface, achieving greater manufacturing precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The conduction paths are moved from the traditional three-dimensional lead structure to a two-dimensional planar structure on the substrate obverse face. This allows for higher density and finer lines to be achieved through photolithography and other precise patterning techniques

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

3Reliability

If connection wirings are arranged between spaced sections through a long detour, then electrical connection is achieved, but the conduction path length increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive section integrates multiple functions into a single structure on the substrate obverse face. By combining the conduction paths and connection points in a planar configuration, the wiring length is minimized while maintaining reliable electrical connections between spaced sections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
