Solution Overview

Problem

Existing temporary substrate adhesives with resins have limited heat resistance and often result in adhesive residue after detachment, leading to processing issues and reduced yield in substrate processing methods.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a temporary substrate adhesive with resin is used for bonding, then bonding strength is achieved, but heat resistance is limited and adhesive residue occurs after detachment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidheat resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the resin component from the adhesive composition, retaining only the silane coupling agent and photobase generator. This extraction eliminates the source of adhesive residue while maintaining bonding strength through silane-based chemistry and enabling heat resistance above 400°C without the thermal limitations of organic resins

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the adhesive by eliminating resin and specifying precise proportions of silane coupling agent (0.1-10 wt%) and photobase generator (0.01-1 wt%). This parameter change transforms the adhesive from a resin-based system with limited heat resistance to a silane-based system capable of withstanding temperatures above 400°C

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Strength

If a temporary substrate adhesive with resin is used for bonding, then initial adhesion is achieved, but adhesive residue remains after detachment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion strengthVSAvoidadhesive residue
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the resin component that causes adhesive residue, keeping only the silane coupling agent and photobase generator. The silane-based adhesive forms a cleaner detachment interface without the polymer residue problems inherent in resin-based systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the chemical composition by eliminating resin and optimizing silane coupling agent content (0.1-10 wt%), which alters the detachment behavior to minimize residue while maintaining adequate adhesion strength during processing

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the problematic resin component while retaining the essential adhesive functionality through silane coupling agents. This simplification actually easeS manufacture by reducing the number of components and eliminating resin handling requirements, while simultaneously improving yield through residue-free detachment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables complete recovery and reuse of substrates by eliminating adhesive residue through the resin-free formulation. Substrates can be detached cleanly and reused without cleaning processes, improving productivity while maintaining manufacturing simplicity
