Innovation Solution

An electronic component package design that includes first and second wiring parts with insulating layers, conductive patterns, and a frame with conductive via connections, allowing for pre-mounting electrical testing to identify and address faults before component integration, thereby reducing waste and improving manufacturing efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If electrical testing is performed after mounting electronic components, then the package can be tested for functionality, but significant losses occur when faults are detected in wiring parts, as the entire wiring layer becomes unusable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical test detection capabilityVSAvoidwiring layer waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The wiring layer is divided into multiple independent wiring parts (first wiring part, second wiring part, third wiring part) that can be tested and replaced independently. When a fault is detected in one wiring part, only that specific part needs to be replaced rather than the entire wiring layer, significantly reducing material waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Electrical testing is performed on the wiring parts before mounting the electronic component. This preliminary testing identifies faulty wiring parts in advance, allowing them to be replaced before the expensive electronic component is mounted, thereby preventing loss of both the wiring layer and the electronic component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Volume of moving object

If the size of electronic components is reduced, then the demand for smaller components is satisfied, but implementing multiple pins in small components becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent sizeVSAvoidpin implementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from planar wiring to three-dimensional wiring structures by stacking multiple wiring parts vertically. This allows multiple pins to be implemented in a compact space by utilizing the vertical dimension, enabling small components to have multiple connection points without increasing their footprint area.

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

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple wiring parts are nested vertically within each other, with each wiring part containing conductive patterns and vias that connect to adjacent wiring parts. This nested arrangement allows multiple pins to be packed into a small component footprint by utilizing vertical stacking rather than horizontal expansion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Area of stationary object

If multiple electronic components are integrated into a compact package, then space efficiency is improved, but the complexity of the packaging structure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage areaVSAvoidpackaging structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging structure is segmented into multiple independent wiring parts that can be manufactured and tested separately before assembly. This segmentation simplifies the manufacturing process by allowing modular production and reduces the complexity of debugging and repair, even though the final structure is compact and multi-layered.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes vertical stacking of multiple wiring parts to achieve compact packaging. By transitioning from two-dimensional planar wiring to three-dimensional stacked wiring, the package area is reduced while the internal structure remains manageable through standardized vertical interconnections via vias.

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