Solution Overview

Problem

The existing semiconductor light emitting apparatus experiences poor connection between the bonding wire and the substrate due to the oozing of die bonding paste, which affects the reliability of the electrical connection.

Innovation Solution

A semiconductor apparatus is designed with a substrate, semiconductor chip, connection material, bonding wires, and partitions on the substrate to prevent the oozing of the connection material, ensuring a stable bond between the semiconductor chip and the substrate by using partitions to contain the die bonding paste and maintain a secure connection between the bonding wires and the substrate.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If die bonding paste is applied to connect the semiconductor light emitting element and the conductive portion, then the connection between the semiconductor chip and substrate is achieved, but the die bonding paste may ooze out to the conductive portion connected to the wire, causing poor connection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a partition structure that divides the substrate surface into separate regions: a first region for die bonding paste application and a second region for wire connection. This segmentation prevents the die bonding paste from spreading to the wire connection area, thereby maintaining both connection strength and connection reliability without compromise

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Strength

If die bonding paste is applied generously to ensure good bonding, then the bonding between semiconductor chip and substrate is improved, but the paste spreads to the wire connection area causing poor wire connection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidwire connection quality
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the substrate surface into distinct functional regions with a partition, the patent allows generous application of die bonding paste in the first region without concern for spread to the wire connection area (second region), thus maintaining bonding strength while preserving wire connection quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The partition acts as an intermediary barrier between the die bonding paste application area and the wire connection area. This intermediary structure contains the paste within its designated region, preventing unwanted spread while allowing both processes to proceed effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
