Abstract:
In this work a novel approach for power chip interconnections using a Copper-Invar-Copper composite material is presented. A 150 µm foil is tested for its suitability with different characterization methods from mechanical stability to electrical conductivity. The lower CTE compared to pure Copper was proven by optical measurement. Ribbons were diced out of the foil and mounted using the temperature stable bonding techniques Transient Liquid Phase bonding and Silver sintering. Ribbons were successfully bonded on DCB substrates, and demonstrators with Silicon chip diodes were made. Thermal cycling up to 2500 cycles with ΔT = 47 ºC showed no influence on the bond stability.
