Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the function and performance of the chip are improved, then the power consumption of the chip increases, but heat dissipation becomes a problem

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechip performanceVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces heat dissipation structures on both the upper and lower sides of the semiconductor package, transitioning from single-sided to multi-dimensional heat dissipation. This allows heat to be dissipated in multiple directions simultaneously, effectively managing thermal loads generated by high-performance chips without compromising performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs thermal interface materials as intermediaries between the heat-generating electronic components and the heat dissipation structures. These materials facilitate efficient thermal transfer while electrically isolating components, enabling effective heat dissipation without interfering with the chip's electrical performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Temperature

If heat dissipation structures are added to the package, then heat dissipation efficiency improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidpackage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates heat dissipation structures with existing package substrates and encasement materials, merging thermal management functions into the structural framework of the package. This approach adds heat dissipation capability without proportionally increasing overall device complexity, as the thermal structures share space and materials with structural elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The package substrates and encasement materials serve dual purposes: providing structural support and electrical interconnection while simultaneously functioning as heat dissipation pathways. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated heat dissipation components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Temperature

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethermal managementVSAvoidmanufacturing process
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates heat dissipation structures during the package assembly process itself, rather than adding them as post-processing steps. Thermal interface materials are applied and heat dissipation structures are integrated while components are being assembled into the package, leveraging existing manufacturing workflows to minimize additional manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
