Solution Overview

Problem

Existing component built-in wiring substrates face issues with peeling and floating of electronic components due to thermal expansion and moisture accumulation, leading to defects in the adhesion between conductor layers and resin insulating layers.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a component built-in wiring substrate design featuring a first resin insulating layer, a first conductor layer with a component mounting pad, a second conductor layer connected via conductors, and a second resin insulating layer with a component accommodating portion, where through holes in the conductor patterns disperse moisture and enhance adhesion, preventing peeling and floating.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If electronic components are mounted on a solid plain layer in a cavity, then the component can be accommodated and sealed, but peeling and floating occur due to thermal expansion and moisture accumulation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion between conductor layers and resin insulating layersVSAvoidthermal expansion and moisture accumulation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the mounting structure into multiple segments: a component mounting pad on the first conductor layer, via conductors penetrating through the first resin insulating layer, and a second conductor layer on the opposite side. This segmented approach distributes thermal stress and prevents peeling by creating multiple adhesion points rather than relying on a single solid plain layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The via conductors act as intermediary elements connecting the first conductor layer (with component mounting pad) and the second conductor layer. These via conductors penetrate through the first resin insulating layer, providing mechanical anchoring and electrical connection that prevents peeling and floating caused by thermal expansion and moisture accumulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If via conductors are formed to connect conductor layers, then electrical connection is established, but moisture accumulation may occur leading to adhesion defects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection between conductor layersVSAvoidmoisture accumulation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts or removes moisture from the interface regions by forming via conductors that penetrate through the resin insulating layer. The via conductors create pathways that prevent moisture accumulation at the conductor-resin interfaces, thereby preventing adhesion defects while maintaining electrical connectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Manufacturing precision

If a component accommodating portion is formed in the resin insulating layer, then component placement precision is improved, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectronic component placement precisionVSAvoidwiring substrate structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The component accommodating portion is formed preliminarily in the first resin insulating layer before final component mounting. This pre-formed structure provides a precise guide and support for component placement, ensuring accurate positioning while integrating smoothly with the existing multi-layer conductor and insulator structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
