Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in semiconductor packaging is to achieve efficient electrical connections between integrated electronic devices while minimizing the thickness of the final product, which is crucial for improved performance and functionality.

Innovation Solution

A semiconductor package structure is developed, comprising transducer devices with transducing regions, a cap structure, redistribution layers (RDL), and protection material, where transducer devices are disposed side by side, and the RDL electrically connects them, with the cap structure forming an enclosed space to protect the transducing regions and reduce overall thickness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple electronic devices are integrated together to form a module, then electrical connection efficiency is improved, but package thickness increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection efficiencyVSAvoidpackage thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from vertical stacking to horizontal arrangement of transducer devices within a planar module configuration. Multiple transducer devices are disposed side by side on a substrate, with redistribution layers routing electrical connections in the plane rather than requiring vertical through-holes, thereby improving connection efficiency without increasing thickness

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

Solution Approach 2:

The module is segmented into discrete transducer devices that can be independently arranged and connected. Each transducer device is a separate functional unit with its own electrodes and active area, allowing flexible spatial arrangement and electrical interconnection through redistribution layers without requiring a monolithic thick structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If transducer devices are integrated in a module, then functionality is enhanced, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The module employs universal substrate and redistribution layer structures that can accommodate multiple types of transducer devices with different functions. The same basic manufacturing process and interconnection architecture support various transducer configurations, enabling enhanced functionality without proportionally increasing manufacturing complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple transducer devices are merged into a single module package with shared substrate, protection layers, and interconnection structures. The redistribution layers serve multiple devices simultaneously, and the protection layer covers all devices in a unified manufacturing step, reducing overall manufacturing complexity despite enhanced functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
