Summary Advance power module packaging technologies, focusing on improvements in cost, reliability, power efficiency and density through structure, material and processing integration.
A group of power modules with double sided planar interconnections and integrated heat exchangers has been prototyped.
Their three dimensional power interconnection configuration has been proven to offer low parasitic electric inductance and resistance, leading to high efficiency power conversion
The double sided cooling reduces dramatically thermal resistance. Additionally, the package allows for ease of fabrication and low manufacturing costs.
