Résumé
Integrity of the power module is mainly provided by interconnections between the different components. Due to RoHS restrictions, conventional lead-based solders cannot be used anymore. New solutions of die-attach have been investigated such as transient liquid phase bonding or silver sintering which is currently the most advanced alternative technology. Furthermore, the increase of electrification in transportation system requires a high thermal management because power electronics systems can be located in severe thermal environment and have to dissipate high self-heating. Double-side cooling power modules do not use wires bonding anymore, highly responsible for many failures. To match such requirements, a new structure combining silver sintering and double side cooling system has been developed and characterized. A prototype of a wireless single-phase bridge rectifier has been investigated.
