Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in semiconductor packaging is the occurrence of voids and bleed-out during the attachment of chips due to inadequate contact of the adhesive with the controller, leading to reduced communication speed and quality degradation.

Innovation Solution

An adhesive composition for semiconductors comprising a thermosetting resin, thermoplastic resin, curing agent, and nonionic surfactant, which improves surface tension and reduces wettability, thereby minimizing voids and bleed-out.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the adhesive is applied in the conventional manner for chip attachment, then the adhesive can be applied to the controller, but voids remain between the adhesive and the controller after pressure oven treatment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact quality between adhesive and controllerVSAvoidvoid formation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the adhesive composition by incorporating a nonionic surfactant, which changes the surface tension parameters of the adhesive. This parameter change enables the adhesive to spread more effectively and form better contact with the controller surface, eliminating voids without requiring changes to the application process or pressure oven treatment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If the adhesive is applied to cover the controller for stacking chips, then package capacity increases, but adhesive bleed-out occurs at the chip edges

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage capacityVSAvoidadhesive bleed-out
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By adding a nonionic surfactant to the adhesive composition, the patent changes the surface tension and wetting properties of the adhesive. This parameter modification allows the adhesive to be applied in sufficient quantities to cover the controller for high-capacity packaging while preventing excessive spread and bleed-out at the chip edges during the attachment process.

3Reliability

If the adhesive composition is modified to reduce voids, then contact quality improves, but the composition complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive contact qualityVSAvoidadhesive composition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a nonionic surfactant as an intermediary substance in the adhesive composition. This surfactant acts as a mediator between the adhesive and the controller surface, improving wetting and contact quality without requiring complex multi-component systems or sophisticated formulation approaches. The single additive component simplifies the overall composition while achieving the desired performance improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
