Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the number of stacked layers of memory dies is increased, then the capacity density is improved, but the communication delay increases and performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of stacked layersVSAvoidcommunication delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from traditional vertical stacking (perpendicular to logic die) to parallel stacking (parallel to logic die upper surface). This dimensional change allows memory dies to be arranged in a plane rather than stacked vertically, increasing the number of memory dies that can be integrated without increasing the vertical distance for signal transmission, thus reducing communication delay while improving capacity density.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the memory structure into multiple memory components, where each memory component contains multiple memory dies arranged in parallel. This segmentation allows for better organization and reduces the communication distance between memory dies and the logic die, thereby reducing communication delay while maintaining high capacity density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If the number of stacked layers of memory dies is increased, then the capacity density is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of stacked layersVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By changing from vertical to parallel stacking, the patent simplifies the manufacturing process. Parallel stacking eliminates the need for complex through-silicon via (TSV) structures and reduces the number of bonding interfaces required, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity while enabling higher capacity density.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a support structure as an intermediary element that holds multiple memory components in parallel arrangement. This support structure simplifies the manufacturing process by providing a stable platform for mounting memory dies, reducing the complexity of aligning and bonding multiple memory layers directly to the logic die.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If traditional vertical stacking is used, then the structure is simple, but the communication delay increases and performance decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidcommunication delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent maintains structural simplicity by using a parallel arrangement that is easier to manufacture than vertical stacking, while simultaneously reducing communication delay. The parallel configuration shortens the signal transmission path between memory dies and the logic die, improving performance without significantly increasing structural complexity.

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