Abstract:
A novel Cu paste sinter joining method is proposed for high TJ semiconductor die-attach useful for packaging of emerging wide-bandgap high-power devices. The paste utilizes polyethylene glycol as a solvent, and optimization in both the preparation and bonding process result in high die-shear strength exceeding 30 MPa. The bonding can be performed at 250 °C in N2 gas, assisted by a slight loading of 0.4 MPa. The obtained high strength in the mild process conditions promises the opportunity of thermally stable die-attach technology required for next generation power device packaging.
