Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If traditional packaging techniques are used, then device size can be reduced, but connection integrity and signal communication paths are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidconnection integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a redistribution layer that creates additional signal communication paths in the vertical dimension (between first and second semiconductor dies) and horizontal dimension (within the redistribution layer), transforming the traditional single-plane connection into a multi-dimensional interconnection structure that enhances connection integrity while maintaining compact device volume

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the signal transmission path into multiple independent routes through the redistribution layer and through-insulator vias, allowing signals to travel through different paths (direct vertical connections, horizontal redistribution paths, and combined routes), which improves connection reliability by providing redundant communication channels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If traditional packaging techniques are used, then manufacturing process remains simple, but additional signal communication paths are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidsignal communication paths
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The redistribution layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it redistributes electrical signals to create additional communication paths, provides mechanical support between dies, enables both vertical and horizontal signal routing, and facilitates heat dissipation, thereby achieving enhanced signal communication capabilities without proportionally increasing manufacturing complexity

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