Study of die attach technologies for high temperature power electronics: Silver sintering and gold-germanium alloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silver sintering joints and AuGe soldering are promising technologies for high temperature (>200 C ambient) power electronics packaging. This paper presents the implementation of two silver-sintering processes with the one hand micrometer-scale silver particles, and on the other hand nano-meter-scale particles. Two substrates technologies have been investigated: A12O3 DBC and Si3N4 AMB. After the process optimization, tests vehicles have been assembled using both sintering processes, as well as a more classical high-temperature die attach technology: AuGe soldering. Multiple analyses have been performed, such as thermal resistance measurement, shear tests and micro-sections to follow the evolution of the joint during thermal cycling and high-temperature storage ageing. 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملFluxless Die Attach by Activated Forming Gas
Eutectic god-tin (Au80Sn20) is widely used as the die-attach material for making radio-frequency (RF) and microwave devices. The metallic bonding is typically achieved by soldering using a gold-tin preform in a forming gas containing hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2) to a peak temperature at 300 ̊C. The performance and reliability of the devices are strongly dependent on the quality of the die-att...
