Solution Overview

Problem

Existing semiconductor wafer processing technologies face challenges in easily peeling the wafer from the support after polishing without deformation, particularly due to the stress applied during polishing, and in preventing damage to bump balls from external loads.

Innovation Solution

A laminate structure is developed with a protective adhesive layer and a peeling adhesive layer, where the protective adhesive layer is formed using a hydrosilylation reaction-cured polyorganosiloxane composition, and the peeling adhesive layer includes a peeling agent component that does not react with the protective adhesive layer, allowing easy separation without excessive force.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a single-layer spin coating method is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but it is difficult to control the film thickness uniformly across large-area substrates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocess simplicityVSAvoidfilm thickness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single coating process into multiple sequential coating layers (first spin coating layer, second spin coating layer, third spin coating layer). Each layer is formed with controlled thickness and composition, allowing cumulative thickness control and uniformity improvement across large substrate areas while maintaining process simplicity through repeated standard coating cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple spin coating layers are formed to control film thickness, then film thickness uniformity is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm thickness uniformityVSAvoidcoating process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent varies parameters between coating layers including solvent composition (first solvent vs. second solvent with different boiling points), coating solution concentration, and coating conditions. These parameter changes enable precise control of each layer's properties and cumulative thickness while maintaining manageable process complexity through systematic parameter variation rather than fundamentally different processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If organic solvent is used in spin coating, then film formation is effective, but solvent residue remains in the film after drying

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm formation qualityVSAvoidsolvent residue
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes phase transition differences between solvents with different boiling points. The first solvent (higher boiling point) and second solvent (lower boiling point) are used in sequence, allowing the second solvent to evaporate more completely in subsequent drying steps, thereby reducing overall solvent residue while maintaining effective film formation through the combined action of both solvents.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #36Phase transitions
