Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional semiconductor devices face issues with peeling of thin sealing resin between the projection of the frame and the glass lid, which compromises the reliability of the packaging.

Innovation Solution

The semiconductor device incorporates a frame with projection portions and corresponding groove portions on its surface, ensuring a thick film of adhesive is maintained between the lid and the frame, preventing peeling by directing the adhesive into the groove and thus distributing stress effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a projection is provided on the frame to control sealing resin thickness, then the sealing resin thickness can be controlled during mounting, but the sealing resin becomes too thin and peels off

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing resin thickness controlVSAvoidsealing resin peeling resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the nesting principle by creating a groove structure within the frame's projection area. The groove is formed inside the projection, allowing the sealing resin to be nested within this recessed space. This nested structure enables the sealing resin to maintain adequate thickness while being contained within the projection's boundary, preventing peeling by providing a recessed bonding area rather than a protruding one.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Manufacturing precision

If thin sealing resin is used between frame projection and glass lid, then mounting precision is improved, but adhesive bonding strength deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting precisionVSAvoidadhesive bonding strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the inversion principle by reversing the conventional approach: instead of using a protruding projection to control sealing resin thickness, the invention uses a recessed groove structure. This inverted geometry allows the sealing resin to accumulate in the groove, ensuring adequate thickness and bonding area, while the outer projection boundary still provides the necessary positioning and thickness control for mounting precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
