Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic component manufacturing methods face issues of incomplete resin filling and void generation due to insufficient resin around components located at the peripheral portion of the board, leading to defects such as tearing and wrinkling of the release film.

Innovation Solution

A method involving the formation of a resin distribution set with non-uniform resin material distribution, where the resin material accumulates more thickly at predetermined locations, particularly the peripheral portion, followed by compression-molding to ensure complete resin filling and void-free encapsulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If granular resin is leveled to uniform thickness in the plate resin receiving portion, then resin overflow from cavity is prevented, but resin becomes insufficient around peripheral components causing incomplete filling and void generation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresin overflow preventionVSAvoidresin filling completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies non-uniform resin thickness distribution where the resin layer is thicker at the peripheral portions and thinner at the central portion. This local variation in resin quantity ensures sufficient resin supply to peripheral components during compression molding while preventing overflow at the cavity boundaries, thereby resolving the contradiction between preventing resin overflow and ensuring complete resin filling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If resin material is positioned with constant thickness inside the raising and lowering member, then positioning is simplified, but resin becomes insufficient near the outer contour of the cavity after member removal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresin positioning simplicityVSAvoidresin distribution uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention positions resin material with non-uniform thickness distribution, thicker at peripheral areas and thinner at the center, to ensure adequate resin supply to peripheral components during compression molding. This local variation in resin quantity prevents resin insufficiency near the cavity outer contour while maintaining ease of manufacture through the raising and lowering member mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If resin material is fed uniformly across the resin receiving portion, then feeding process is simplified, but peripheral areas receive insufficient resin leading to void generation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresin feeding simplicityVSAvoidresin filling adequacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention implements non-uniform resin material distribution where peripheral areas receive thicker resin layers compared to the central portion. This local variation ensures adequate resin supply to peripheral components during compression molding, preventing void generation and improving reliability, while the overall feeding process remains simplified through the raising and lowering member system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An electronic component manufacturing method for obtaining an electronic component in which a resin molded body and an object are integrally formed and the resultant device is provided. The method includes forming a resin distribution set by feeding a resin material in granular, powder, or liquid form onto a release film in a resin receiving portion to create a non-uniform distribution, wherein the resin material is thicker at a predetermined location than at other locations. The resin distribution set including the release film and placing the resin distribution set onto a lower mold such are lifted and placed over a cavity in a lower mold. The release film covers an inner surface of the cavity, positioning the resin material in the cavity. The resin material is compression-molded with the object in contact with the resin material located in the cavity to obtain the device.
