Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional adhesives are used for temporary bonding, then bonding durability is achieved, but laser peeling requires high power causing substrate damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding durabilityVSAvoidsubstrate damage from high power laser
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters of the adhesive by incorporating specific aromatic ring-containing compounds (such as phenolic compounds, resorcinol derivatives) in controlled amounts (0.1-10 wt%). This compositional parameter change enables the adhesive to be decomposed by low power UV lasers (5-500 mW) while maintaining bonding durability during wafer processing, thus resolving the contradiction between strong bonding and easy low-power peeling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite adhesive system combining conventional adhesive base materials with specific aromatic ring-containing compounds. This composite formulation achieves dual functionality: the base material provides bonding durability while the aromatic components provide selective laser absorption for easy peeling, thereby resolving the contradiction between strong adhesion and laser-peelability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of operation

If high power laser is used for peeling, then adhesive decomposition is achieved, but support member and substrate are damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepeeling efficiencyVSAvoidheat generation and damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical/thermal peeling process (high power laser heating) with a photochemical process. The aromatic ring-containing compounds in the adhesive absorb UV laser energy and undergo rapid photochemical decomposition, enabling peeling through chemical bond breaking rather than thermal heating, thus achieving easy peeling without heat damage to support members or substrates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potential harmful effect of laser energy into a beneficial peeling mechanism. By incorporating aromatic compounds that selectively absorb UV laser energy, the previously harmful high-power laser heating is replaced with a controlled photochemical decomposition process that efficiently breaks adhesive bonds without generating damaging heat, transforming laser energy from a harmful factor into a useful peeling tool

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Adaptability or versatility

If organic resin tape is used for temporary bonding, then flexibility is achieved, but heat resistance and strength are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveflexibilityVSAvoidheat resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent develops a composite adhesive composition that combines the flexibility of organic resin-based adhesives with the heat resistance of aromatic ring-containing compounds. The base adhesive provides flexibility and ease of application, while the aromatic additives (phenolic compounds, resorcinol derivatives) contribute thermal stability and structural strength, achieving both flexibility and heat resistance simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

4Strength

If adhesive with strong bonding is used, then substrate support is improved, but laser peeling becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidpeeling ease
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the adhesive by adding specific aromatic ring-containing compounds in optimized amounts (0.1-10 wt%). This compositional modification creates a dual-character adhesive that forms strong bonds during processing but contains built-in photochemical weak links that enable easy decomposition by UV laser, thus achieving both strong bonding and easy peeling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the adhesive's functionality into two distinct components: the base adhesive material that provides bonding strength and support, and the aromatic ring-containing compounds that provide laser-responsive peeling capability. This functional segmentation allows the adhesive to exhibit strong bonding under normal conditions while enabling easy peeling when exposed to UV laser, resolving the contradiction between bond strength and peeling ease

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
