Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional electronic device manufacturing processes often result in inadequate vacuum sealing and material waste due to abnormal packaging of electronic units, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a carrier with spacers and a circuit substrate with marked electronic units, where normal units are identified and supported by cover units with a gap for vacuuming and subsequent contact to ensure proper sealing, reducing waste and improving vacuum quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional packaging process is used to assemble cover plate and circuit substrate, then assembly is completed, but vacuum degree is insufficient and material waste occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevacuum sealing qualityVSAvoidmaterial waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the packaging process by introducing spacers that create individual vacuum chambers for each electronic unit. Each unit can be vacuum-sealed independently, allowing defective units to be identified and excluded from packaging without affecting other units, thus reducing material waste while improving vacuum sealing quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary detection and classification of electronic units before packaging. By identifying normal and defective units in advance and positioning them appropriately with spacers, the system ensures that only normal units are vacuum-sealed, preventing material waste from packaging defective units while maintaining high vacuum quality for sealed units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If traditional packaging process is used, then assembly is completed, but vacuum degree after assembling is not good

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevacuum sealing qualityVSAvoidmanufacturing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the vacuum sealing process into individual unit chambers using spacers, each unit achieves proper vacuum degree independently. This segmentation allows parallel processing of multiple units, maintaining high productivity while ensuring good vacuum sealing quality for each unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The spacers act as intermediaries that facilitate vacuum sealing by creating proper spacing and sealing interfaces between the cover plate and circuit substrate. This intermediary structure enables effective vacuum application without compromising manufacturing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If all electronic units are packaged without detection, then packaging speed is maintained, but defective units are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging speedVSAvoidmaterial waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary detection and classification of electronic units before the packaging process. Normal units are positioned in packaging positions while defective units are excluded, allowing the packaging process to proceed at high speed without wasting materials on defective units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different treatment to different units based on their quality status. Normal units receive vacuum sealing while defective units are excluded from packaging. This local differentiation allows high-speed processing of good units while avoiding waste on defective ones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method for manufacturing an electronic device includes the following steps: providing a carrier and a circuit substrate, wherein the carrier includes a plurality of spacers, the circuit substrate includes a plurality of electronic units, and the electronic units are detected and determined to be normal or defective; providing cover units on the carrier; disposing the circuit substrate on the cover units so that the spacers support the circuit substrate, wherein there is a gap between the circuit substrate and the cover units, and the cover units correspond to the electronic units determined to be normal; vacuuming the gap between the circuit substrate and the cover units; moving the spacers to make the cover units and the circuit substrate contact each other; and pressing the cover units and the circuit substrate to fix the cover units and the circuit substrate to each other.
