Solution Overview

Problem

The existing semiconductor apparatus faces challenges in improving mounting density and effectively blocking electromagnetic waves due to poor adhesion between the sealing resin and conductive films, as well as incomplete shielding of side surfaces, which affects the electrical characteristics of electronic components.

Innovation Solution

A semiconductor apparatus is designed with a resin layer that has higher adhesion to conductive films than the sealing resin, allowing for the formation of conductive patterns and shielding layers on the resin layer, which covers both the upper and side surfaces of the sealing resin, enhancing mounting density and electromagnetic wave blocking accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a sealing resin with good shock resistance and durability is used, then the sealing performance is improved, but the adhesion to conductive film becomes poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing performanceVSAvoidadhesion to conductive film
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

A primer layer is introduced as an intermediary between the sealing resin and the conductive film. The primer layer has high adhesion to both the sealing resin and the conductive film, solving the adhesion problem while maintaining the good sealing performance of the original resin.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The structure becomes a composite system with three layers: sealing resin layer, primer layer, and conductive film layer. Each layer serves its specific function, and their combination achieves both good sealing performance and strong adhesion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Device complexity

If the shielding layer is not disposed on the side surface of the sealing resin, then the manufacturing complexity is reduced, but the electromagnetic wave blocking performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing complexityVSAvoidelectromagnetic wave intrusion
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding structure is extended from a single surface (upper surface only) to multiple surfaces (upper surface and side surfaces). This dimensional extension blocks electromagnetic waves from intruding through side surfaces while maintaining manageable manufacturing complexity.

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

3Device complexity

If the mounting density is not improved, then the device complexity is reduced, but the performance of electronic equipment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidmounting density
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive film pattern is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides electrical connections for mounting electronic components and simultaneously forms shielding structures. This multi-functionality increases mounting density without proportionally increasing device complexity.

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