Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a shield layer is provided on one side of signal lines via an insulating layer with through-holes to connect ground layers, then radiation noise is reduced, but the processing size and positional accuracy of through-holes are limited, restricting higher density wiring

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradiation noiseVSAvoidpositional accuracy of through-hole
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the connection function from traditional through-holes and relocates it to end portions of the insulating layer. By removing the need for through-holes and replacing them with end portions that extend beyond the insulating layer boundary, the design eliminates the manufacturing precision constraints associated with through-hole positioning while maintaining the ground connection function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from a two-dimensional through-hole connection (piercing through the insulating layer) to a three-dimensional end portion structure that extends beyond the insulating layer boundary. This dimensional change allows the connection conductor line to make contact with the ground layer without requiring precise through-hole positioning, thereby enabling higher density wiring.

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

2Object-affected harmful factors

If through-holes are used to electrically connect the shield layer to the ground layer, then radiation noise is reduced, but the processing size of through-holes limits higher density packaging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradiation noiseVSAvoidprocessing size of through-hole
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the connection function from through-holes and implements it through end portions of the insulating layer. This extraction eliminates the need for large through-hole processing while maintaining the essential ground connection function, thereby reducing the area occupied by connection structures and enabling higher density packaging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention applies local quality by providing end portions only at specific locations where ground connections are needed, rather than using through-holes throughout the entire structure. This localized approach reduces the overall processing size required for connections while maintaining effective radiation noise reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional shield layer configuration with through-holes is used, then radiation noise is reduced, but achieving higher density wiring layout is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradiation noiseVSAvoidwiring density
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By extracting the connection function from through-holes and implementing it through end portions, the invention removes the bottleneck that limited wiring density. This allows signal lines to be placed more closely together without being constrained by through-hole positioning requirements, thereby achieving higher productivity in terms of wiring density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the structural parameter of the insulating layer by extending end portions beyond the insulating layer boundary. This parameter change fundamentally alters the connection mechanism, enabling higher wiring density while maintaining radiation noise reduction effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
