Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional bonding methods for semiconductor devices, such as LED devices on glass substrates, often damage the electrode due to the adhesive layer adhering to it, affecting the bonding quality.

Innovation Solution

A bonding method involving the formation of holes on the substrate's bonding parts, aligning a semiconductor device with conduction parts, and using a laser beam to melt the conduction and bonding parts through these holes, or employing a buffer layer with a low melting point to form electrical contact without damaging the electrode.

1Reliability

If an adhesive layer structure is used to bond LED devices to a glass substrate, then the bonding quality is improved, but the adhesive layer adheres to the LED electrode and damages the electrode

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A buffer layer is introduced as an intermediary between the adhesive layer and the LED electrode. This buffer layer receives the adhesive layer to prevent direct adhesion to the electrode, while still enabling electrical contact through laser melting. The buffer layer acts as a mediator that resolves the conflict between bonding requirements and electrode protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The electrical contact structure is segmented into multiple functional layers: the original electrode, the buffer layer, and the adhesive layer. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function - the electrode provides electrical connection, the buffer layer prevents adhesion damage, and the adhesive layer enables bonding - thereby solving the contradiction between bonding quality and electrode integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a buffer layer with low melting point is used to form electrical contact, then the electrode is protected from damage, but additional manufacturing steps are required

Solution Approach 1:

The buffer layer is designed with specific material parameters - a low melting point that is lower than both the electrode and adhesive layer materials. This parameter change enables the buffer layer to melt selectively during laser processing, forming electrical contact while protecting the electrode. The specific melting point parameter is crucial for resolving the contradiction between electrode protection and process simplicity.
