Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If flip-chip technique with interposer or copper pillar structures is used, then fine-pitch electrical connectivity is achieved, but manufacturing complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces expensive, complex interposer or copper pillar structures with simple, inexpensive bonding wires that achieve the same electrical connectivity function. The bonding wires are temporary-looking simple structures that effectively provide fine-pitch connections without the manufacturing complexity of interposers or copper pillars.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical form and material parameters of the interconnection structure from rigid interposer/copper pillar architectures to flexible bonding wire architectures. This parameter change enables fine-pitch connectivity through wire bonding technology with different geometric and material characteristics.

Inventive Principle:

2Strength

If filler-containing insulation layer is used, then structural support is provided, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural supportVSAvoidinsulation layer complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the filler materials from the insulation layer, using a pure resin composition without particulate fillers. This extraction simplifies the insulation layer formulation and manufacturing process while maintaining adequate structural support through the resin matrix alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a homogeneous resin-based insulation layer without heterogeneous filler particles. This homogeneous composition simplifies the material formulation, reduces manufacturing complexity, and eliminates issues related to filler distribution and processing while providing sufficient mechanical support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

3Manufacturing precision

If interposer or copper pillar structures are used, then fine-line redistribution is achieved, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces costly interposer or copper pillar structures with inexpensive bonding wires for achieving fine-line redistribution. The bonding wires provide the necessary electrical interconnection at a fraction of the cost of interposer or copper pillar implementations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent substitutes the mechanical interposer or copper pillar system with a wire bonding system. This substitution replaces complex mechanical structures with a simpler wire-based electrical connection system that achieves the same redistribution function at lower cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Reliability

If complex manufacturing processes are used, then high-quality electrical connections are achieved, but production time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses simple bonding wires instead of complex interposer or copper pillar structures, which significantly reduces manufacturing steps and production time while maintaining reliable electrical connections. The wire bonding process is well-established and faster than interposer fabrication and assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)
