Alpha to Present on Sintering Technology at PCIM 2017
May 2, 2017 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions, the world leader in the production of electronic soldering and bonding materials, will present a paper titled "Double Side Sintered Diode + IGBT 650V/200A in a STO247 Package for High Performance Automotive Applications" at the PCIM Exhibition, Nuremberg, Germany on May 16.
The paper, to be presented by Julien Joguet, Global Product Manager for Sintered Materials for Alpha, a part of the MacDermid Performance Solutions group of businesses, will discuss the findings of a study which tested a double side sintered STO247 type packaged device that had been fully sintered using Alpha Argomax against the leading device on the market used in high-performance electric cars.
The reliability requirements for packaged devices are becoming more severe given the significantly higher power density levels in these applications that devices are subjected to over their operating life. Several new device technologies are emerging in the market to address the performance and reliability requirements.
"These technologies will be limited if advances in attachment methods do not evolve as well," said Joguet. "The Alpha Argomax silver sintering paste and film technologies for die attachment allow a fast, low-pressure process for a wide range of applications including power, RF, and high-power LEDs. This allows for high thermal and electrical conductivity silver bonds and flexible bondline thickness – both of which address issues with die attach reliability in high volume manufacturing processes."
To see the conclusions of this study, please visit the Exhibitor Forum at PCIM on Tuesday, May 16 at 10:20 am or visit us in Hall 7 Booth #518.
