Solution Overview

Problem

There is a growing demand for materials with low dielectric tangent for higher frequency domains in resin compositions, particularly to address transmission loss in high-frequency applications such as mobile phones and satellite broadcasting, where existing materials do not adequately suppress transmission loss at GHz frequencies.

Innovation Solution

A thermosetting resin composition is developed, comprising a polyimide compound with maleimide groups, a modified polybutadiene, and an inorganic filler, specifically designed to reduce dielectric tangent and improve handling properties, while minimizing resin separation and gloss unevenness in interlayer insulating layers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If a cyanate resin is used to reduce dielectric tangent, then transmission loss is suppressed, but handling properties deteriorate and resin separation occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission lossVSAvoidhandling properties
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by introducing a polyimide compound with specific structural units (formula 1 and formula 2) and controlling their ratios, along with using modified polybutadiene with specific molecular weight ranges, to achieve optimal dielectric properties while maintaining handling characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite resin composition combining multiple components: polyimide compound with specific structural units, modified polybutadiene, and inorganic filler, where each component contributes specific properties to achieve overall low dielectric tangent while preventing resin separation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Temperature

If filler is highly filled to reduce thermal expansion, then thermal expansion is reduced, but processing dimensional stability and warpage control are affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethermal expansionVSAvoidprocessing dimensional stability
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the particle size distribution of inorganic filler (combining fine particles of 0.1-1 μm and coarse particles of 1-10 μm) and controls the filler content ratio to achieve both low thermal expansion and good processing dimensional stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a dual-size filler system where fine particles fill gaps between coarse particles, creating a dense packing structure that reduces thermal expansion while maintaining dimensional stability during processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of energy

If resin composition is optimized for low dielectric tangent, then transmission loss is suppressed, but resin separation and gloss unevenness increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission lossVSAvoidresin separation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses modified polybutadiene as an intermediary component that improves compatibility between the polyimide compound and inorganic filler, preventing resin separation and gloss unevenness while maintaining low dielectric tangent properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent controls the molecular weight of modified polybutadiene (500-25,000) and the ratio of structural units in the polyimide compound to optimize resin homogeneity and prevent separation issues

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
