Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic component built-in wiring boards face challenges in maintaining strong adhesion between the resin coating and the electronic component, leading to potential peeling issues, especially when compared to the adhesion between the coating insulating layer and the component.

Innovation Solution

A structure is developed with a substrate having a cavity, an electronic component with pads, a coating insulating layer, via holes, and a resin coating that has stronger adhesion to the electronic component than the coating insulating layer, with via conductors connecting the pads and a resin coating that partially exposes the pads through holes, enhancing the anchor effect and stability.

1Reliability

If a coating insulating layer is formed on the substrate to cover the electronic component, then the insulating and protective function is improved, but the adhesion strength between the coating and the electronic component becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

A resin coating is introduced as an intermediary layer between the coating insulating layer and the electronic component. This resin coating has stronger adhesion to the electronic component than the coating insulating layer, serving as a mediator that prevents peeling while maintaining the insulating function. The resin coating is applied to the electronic component before the coating insulating layer, creating a layered structure where the resin coating bonds to both the component and the insulating layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The structure employs composite materials by combining the resin coating and coating insulating layer in a layered configuration. The resin coating provides strong adhesion to the electronic component, while the coating insulating layer provides insulating properties. This composite structure leverages the complementary strengths of different materials to simultaneously achieve strong adhesion and effective insulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Stability of the object's composition

If a resin coating with strong adhesion is formed between the coating insulating layer and the electronic component, then the peeling resistance is improved, but the manufacturing process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepeeling resistanceVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resin coating formation process is merged with the existing coating insulating layer formation process. Both layers are applied in sequence during the same manufacturing cycle, with the resin coating applied first to the electronic component, followed by the coating insulating layer. This merging of steps integrates the adhesion-enhancing function into the existing manufacturing flow without requiring separate dedicated process equipment or additional complex工序.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
