Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The reliability of semiconductor devices is compromised due to peeling issues at the interface between the conductive pattern and the resin, which is not sufficiently secured, leading to reduced reliability.
Innovation Solution
A semiconductor device design featuring an insulating plate with a first conducting portion and a mold material that seals the semiconductor element, where the insulating plate material has higher adhesion with the mold material than the conducting material, and includes gaps filled with mold material between the conducting portion and the plate, providing an anchoring effect to prevent peeling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the conductive pattern is used as the base for mounting semiconductor elements, then the electrical connection and mounting function are achieved, but the adhesion with mold material is insufficient causing peeling at the interface
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different materials with different adhesion properties to different regions of the substrate. Specifically, an insulating plate material with high adhesion to mold material is used in regions where strong bonding is needed, while maintaining the conductive pattern functionality in other areas. This local differentiation of material properties resolves the contradiction by providing strong adhesion where required without compromising the electrical function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a composite structure consisting of multiple materials including insulating plate material, conductive materials, and mold material. The insulating plate material serves as an intermediate layer that provides both electrical insulation and strong adhesion to the mold material, creating a composite system that simultaneously satisfies electrical connection requirements and adhesion requirements.
2Reliability
If gaps are filled with mold material between conducting portion and insulating plate, then anchoring effect is achieved to prevent peeling, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates gaps in the conducting portion structure beforehand, before the mold material is applied. These pre-formed gaps allow the mold material to penetrate and create anchoring protrusions, providing strong peel resistance. By preparing the gap structure in advance during the conducting portion fabrication process, the patent avoids adding complex post-processing steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The mold material acts as an intermediary substance that fills the gaps between the conducting portion and insulating plate. This intermediate material creates mechanical interlocking through anchoring protrusions, effectively bonding the conducting portion to the insulating plate without requiring direct contact or additional bonding layers between these components.
