Solution Overview

Problem

The bond strength between heat emitting posts and bonding members in semiconductor packages is reduced due to oxidation and corrosion when in contact with cooling water, leading to decreased durability and heat emission efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A semiconductor package design with optimized bonding distances and angles between heat emitting posts and metal layers, using bonding members with a plating layer to enhance oxidation resistance, and forming the package with materials like Sn, Ag, Au, Cu, Ti, Ni, or ceramic materials, with a thickness of 10 μm to 5 mm and a melting point of 100°C to 250°C, to improve bond strength and durability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If bonding members are used to bond heat emitting posts to substrates, then heat emission function is achieved, but oxidation and corrosion occur when contacting cooling water, reducing bond strength and durability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebond strengthVSAvoidoxidation and corrosion
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A plating layer is introduced as an intermediary between the bonding member and the cooling water environment. This plating layer acts as a protective barrier that prevents direct contact between the bonding member and corrosive cooling water, thereby eliminating oxidation and corrosion while maintaining the bonding function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding structure is transformed into a composite system consisting of multiple layers: the bonding member, the plating layer, and potentially other protective layers. This composite structure combines the bonding properties of the original material with the corrosion resistance of the plating layer, achieving both strong bonding and durability in water environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Duration of action of moving object

If bonding members contact cooling water, then cooling function is enabled, but durability of bonding members deteriorates due to oxidation and corrosion

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedurabilityVSAvoidoxidation and corrosion
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The plating layer serves as a protective intermediary that allows the bonding member to maintain contact with the cooling water environment for extended periods without suffering from oxidation and corrosion. This intermediary layer preserves the durability of the bonding member while enabling continuous cooling operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Strength

If bonding strength is increased, then structural stability is improved, but complexity of bonding structure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
