Solution Overview

Problem

Resin sheets with high inorganic filler content easily shift out of position when contacting the internal surface of vacuum package containers, leading to defects in electronic device sealing.

Innovation Solution

A resin sheet with a probe tack of 5 g to 500 g at 25°C and surface roughness of 400 nm or less, containing 60-90% inorganic filler and epoxy or phenolic resins with a softening point of 100°C or lower, which enhances tack properties without compromising thermal expansion coefficient or water absorption, preventing deformation and shifting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the resin sheet contains high inorganic filler content (60-90% by volume), then the thermal expansion coefficient and water absorption percentage are reduced, but the resin sheet easily shifts out of position when contacting the internal surface of the vacuum package container

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethermal expansion coefficientVSAvoidpositioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical and chemical parameters of the resin sheet by controlling the softening point of the resin component to be 100°C or lower, and adjusting the inorganic filler content to 60-90% by volume. These parameter changes enable the resin to achieve optimal balance between dimensional stability (low thermal expansion) and positioning accuracy (resistance to shifting during sealing)

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite material system consisting of resin (with specific softening point characteristics) and inorganic filler (60-90% by volume). This composite structure combines the low thermal expansion properties of inorganic materials with the adhesive and processability characteristics of the resin matrix, resolving the contradiction between stability and positioning accuracy

Principle #40Composite materials

2Stability of the object's composition

If the resin sheet contains high inorganic filler content (60-90% by volume), then the water absorption percentage is reduced, but the resin sheet easily shifts out of position when contacting the internal surface of the vacuum package container

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewater absorption percentageVSAvoidpositioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the compositional parameters by setting inorganic filler content at 60-90% by volume, which simultaneously achieves low water absorption percentage and maintains positioning accuracy through the controlled softening point of the resin component at 100°C or lower

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the resin sheet has low softening point resin (100°C or lower), then the tack property is improved (probe tack of 5-500 g at 25°C), but the thermal expansion coefficient may increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetack propertyVSAvoidthermal expansion coefficient
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a composite material system where low softening point resin (providing tack) is combined with high content inorganic filler (60-90% by volume, providing low thermal expansion). This composite structure balances the conflicting properties of tack and thermal expansion stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the parameter balance by controlling the resin softening point at 100°C or lower for adequate tack while simultaneously maintaining inorganic filler content at 60-90% by volume to keep thermal expansion coefficient low, achieving optimal performance through parameter coordination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
