Technologies for Next-Generation Power Devices
Datacenters and AI applications are also moving in this direction, driven by the persistent technical requirement to increase power density (W/m3) and maximize system efficiency. To ensure the performance and reliability demanded by these harsh environments, pressure sintering has emerged as the industry's preferred die attach solution
Pressure sintering (PS) is a heat treatment process applying simultaneous heat and external uniaxial pressure (typically ranging from 5 MPa to 40 MPa) to metallic particle pastes (Silver/Copper). This technique is essential for achieving reliable die attach solutions capable of continuous operation at junction temperatures exceeding 200°C. The application of pressure drives densification, critically reducing residual porosity, often below 10%. This results in a superior bulk metallic microstructure guaranteeing exceptional thermal conductivity (e.g., sintered Ag ∼300 W/(m⋅K)) and low electrical resistivity (∼2 μΩ⋅cm).
