Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional semiconductor packaging methods are used, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but reliability decreases and package size increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage reliabilityVSAvoidpackage size
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the semiconductor package into multiple functional dies (e.g., logic die, memory die, I/O die) that are separately fabricated and then interconnected through a substrate. This segmentation allows each die to be optimized independently for reliability while the overall package size is controlled through integrated routing designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs three-dimensional packaging architectures where dies are stacked or arranged in multiple layers with vertical interconnections through the substrate. This dimensional transition from planar to spatial arrangement increases routing capacity without proportionally increasing the package footprint, thereby improving reliability while controlling size.

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

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional semiconductor packaging methods are used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing efficiencyVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary fabrication of multiple functional dies on separate wafers using standard semiconductor manufacturing processes before assembly. This allows high-volume, cost-effective production of individual dies that can then be efficiently integrated, reducing overall manufacturing cost while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs a universal substrate structure that can accommodate different types and configurations of functional dies through standardized interconnection interfaces. This multi-functional substrate design enables flexible packaging arrangements without requiring custom manufacturing processes for each configuration, thereby reducing cost while maintaining ease of manufacture.

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

3Productivity

If conventional semiconductor packaging methods are used, then routing complexity is minimized, but electrical signal routing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal routing efficiencyVSAvoidrouting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a substrate as an intermediary component with integrated routing layers that mediate electrical signal transmission between multiple functional dies. This intermediary structure provides dedicated signal paths, power distribution networks, and ground planes that improve routing efficiency while managing complexity through systematic layer design and standardized interconnection schemes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
