Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for manufacturing multi-layer interconnection substrates face challenges in achieving high size precision and easy, low-cost separation of the IC board from the substrate, which complicates the manufacturing process and increases costs.

Innovation Solution

A substrate with a multi-layer interconnection structure is adhered to the substrate in partial areas, allowing for easy separation by cutting and using a selective-area adhering method, which includes applying a silane promoter and using a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide for recycling, thereby simplifying the process and reducing costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a multi-layer interconnection structure is fully adhered to a substrate for manufacturing support, then manufacturing precision is improved, but separation becomes difficult and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesize precisionVSAvoidseparation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesion between the multi-layer interconnection structure and substrate is segmented into two distinct zones: a first adhesion zone with strong bonding for manufacturing support, and a second adhesion zone with weak bonding for easy separation. This segmentation allows the structure to benefit from both strong adhesion during manufacturing and easy separation afterward, resolving the contradiction between manufacturing precision and separation ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different adhesion properties are applied to different regions of the multi-layer interconnection structure. The first adhesion zone (peripheral region) has strong adhesion to provide manufacturing support, while the second adhesion zone (central region) has weak adhesion to enable easy separation. This local differentiation of adhesion quality allows simultaneous achievement of manufacturing precision and ease of separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional separation methods like laser ablation are used, then separation can be achieved, but manufacturing complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseparation capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesion structure is designed in advance with a first adhesion zone and a second adhesion zone having different bonding strengths before the separation process begins. This preliminary design of differential adhesion zones eliminates the need for complex separation processes like laser ablation, as separation can be simply achieved by peeling from the weak adhesion zone, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
