Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If via wiring and build-up wiring layers are used in wiring substrates, then the wiring substrate can be manufactured with multiple layers, but the electrical resistance increases at the connection portion between via wiring and build-up wiring layer
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the via wiring and build-up wiring layer into a single integrated electrode structure. The via wiring and build-up wiring layer are formed as one continuous electrode without separate connection portions, eliminating the interface where resistance typically occurs. This integration directly resolves the technical contradiction by maintaining multi-layer wiring capability while eliminating the resistance issue at connection interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite material structures where the electrode is formed with specific material compositions and layered configurations. By using appropriate material combinations and forming the electrode as a unified structure rather than separate components, the patent reduces electrical resistance at what would traditionally be connection interfaces between via wiring and build-up wiring layers.
2Reliability
If solid electrodes are joined through diffusion bonding, then the electrical connection reliability is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary actions by preparing the electrode surfaces with specific treatments before diffusion bonding to ensure optimal bonding conditions. The electrodes are pre-formed with appropriate geometries and material compositions that facilitate subsequent diffusion bonding, making the process more controllable and reliable while managing manufacturing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes in the diffusion bonding process, such as controlling temperature, pressure, and time parameters, to achieve reliable electrical connections. By optimizing these parameters, the patent ensures high-quality electrode joints while managing the complexity of the manufacturing process through precise parameter control rather than overly complex process steps.
