Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple redistribution substrates and semiconductor chips are stacked to increase integration density, then the number of components and structural complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration densityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a stacked configuration where the first redistribution substrate, first semiconductor chip, second redistribution substrate, and second semiconductor chip are vertically nested. Each layer is positioned on top of the previous layer, with mold layers filling the spaces between them. This nesting approach maximizes integration density by utilizing vertical space while organizing multiple components in a compact hierarchical structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a planar arrangement to a three-dimensional stacked configuration. By arranging redistribution substrates and semiconductor chips in vertical layers rather than side-by-side on a single plane, the design achieves higher integration density within a smaller footprint area, effectively utilizing the vertical dimension to increase component capacity.

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

2Reliability

If multiple mold layers are used to encapsulate stacked components, then manufacturing precision and alignment requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencapsulation protectionVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the encapsulation into multiple separate mold layers: a first mold layer between the first redistribution substrate and second redistribution substrate, and a second mold layer on the second redistribution substrate and second semiconductor chip. This segmentation allows each mold layer to be applied and cured independently, reducing the cumulative alignment complexity that would result from attempting to apply a single thick mold layer over the entire stacked structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first mold layer is applied and cured before the second redistribution substrate and second semiconductor chip are fully assembled. This preliminary encapsulation stabilizes the lower portion of the stack, providing a rigid foundation that simplifies subsequent alignment and assembly operations, thereby reducing the overall manufacturing precision requirements for the complete structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
