Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If heat dissipation parts are extended from the island main body to the container surface, then heat dissipation property is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes complicated due to bending requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation propertyVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional heat dissipation approach (extending parts on the same plane) to a three-dimensional structure by positioning the second metal part on the opposite side of the substrate. This vertical arrangement eliminates the need for bending operations while maintaining effective heat dissipation pathways through the substrate thickness direction.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The heat dissipation function is segmented into multiple independent metal parts (first metal part on one side, second metal part on the other side) connected through the substrate. This segmentation allows each part to be positioned and manufactured independently without requiring complex bending or forming operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If contact parts for positioning are bonded to the package main body, then positioning accuracy is improved, but the manufacturing time and process complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidmanufacturing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning function is merged into the frame-shaped second metal part itself, which serves dual purposes: providing structural support for heat dissipation and enabling positioning through its inherent geometric features. This eliminates the need for separate bonding operations of contact parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The second metal part is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a heat dissipation component and as a positioning element through its frame structure. This universal design reduces the total number of manufacturing steps by combining multiple functions into a single component.

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

3Stability of the object's composition

If a lid body is disposed through a frame plate on the bottom plate, then package structure is formed, but heat dissipation property becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs composite construction with multiple metal parts (first metal part, second metal part) connected through the substrate, creating a hybrid thermal management system. This composite structure provides both structural integrity and enhanced heat dissipation capabilities compared to single-material designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The heat dissipation structure extends in the vertical dimension by placing the second metal part on the opposite side of the substrate from the first metal part. This three-dimensional arrangement increases the heat dissipation surface area and creates multiple thermal pathways without compromising the package's structural stability.

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