Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic component built-in substrate manufacturing processes face challenges in reliably filling resin around components due to thickness mismatches between core substrates and components, leading to potential component peeling and inclination, as well as difficulties in forming reliable electrical connections.

Innovation Solution

The method involves forming an electronic component built-in substrate with a core member thickness equal to the component, using auxiliary insulating layers to fill resin with a weak pressing force, and forming thick wiring layers to protect connection terminals during laser processing, ensuring reliable resin filling and electrical connectivity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the core substrate thickness is made greater than the electronic component thickness, then the core substrate provides sufficient structural support and space for wiring, but a large space needs to be filled with resin requiring strong pressing force which causes component peeling and inclination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural supportVSAvoidcomponent attachment reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate is segmented into a core substrate and auxiliary insulating layers. The core substrate provides structural support while the auxiliary insulating layers fill the remaining space and provide additional structural support where needed, eliminating the need for strong pressing force that causes component peeling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Auxiliary insulating layers are introduced as intermediary structures between the core substrate and the electronic component. These layers fill the space created by the thickness difference, providing both structural support and a compliant interface that prevents component peeling during resin filling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Strength

If the core substrate thickness is made greater than the electronic component thickness, then the core substrate provides sufficient structural support, but it becomes difficult to fill the space around the electronic component with resin with high reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural supportVSAvoidresin filling precision
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate structure is segmented into a core substrate and auxiliary insulating layers. The auxiliary insulating layers are specifically designed to fill the remaining space after component placement, enabling precise and reliable resin filling without compromising structural support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The auxiliary insulating layers are formed beforehand to match the expected final substrate thickness. This preliminary action ensures that when resin is filled, the space is already properly defined and accessible, achieving high reliability filling precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If auxiliary insulating layers are added to match core substrate thickness, then resin filling reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The thickness parameter of the auxiliary insulating layers is precisely controlled to match the core substrate thickness. This parameter optimization ensures reliable resin filling while minimizing the additional complexity introduced by the auxiliary layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The substrate becomes a composite structure combining the core substrate and auxiliary insulating layers. This composite approach improves resin filling reliability while the auxiliary layers are designed to be integrated seamlessly, minimizing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
