Thermo-mechanical Analysis of a Custom PCB-DBC Hybrid Package for a (650 V, 150 A) e-GaN HEMTNicholas, Carl Peter 24 May 2023 (has links)
With the potential to improve upon silicon (Si ) based power electronics exhausted, the push for improvement now lies with wide bandgap (WBG) materials like gallium nitride (GaN). With a larger bandgap, higher electron mobility, and higher electrical field strength than Si, GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) can have lower on-state losses and higher switching frequencies in a smaller package. This makes GaN HEMTs an attractive choice for compact, high efficiency power devices.
However, the package designs used for Si cannot be used for GaN HEMTs, requiring novel, chip-scale designs that are optimized for low electrical parasitics and low thermal resistance. Recent Center for Power Electronics (CPES) research culminated in a printed circuit board-direct bonded copper (PCB-DBC) hybrid package to house a 650 V, 150 A GaN HEMT. Called the PCB-Interposer-on-DBC package, it utilizes a DBC for heat extraction while using vertical pin interconnects to minimize electrical parasitics.
Previous work did not investigate the design's locations of expected failure or reliability. With thermally generated mechanical fatigue a consistent cause of electronics failure, it must be investigated for the design to move beyond the prototyping phase. Thermo-mechanical fatigue failure is the brittle fracture of bonds caused by thermally induced warpage. The thermal warpage is the consequence of the bonded package components having a coefficient of expansion (CTE) mismatch while being subjected to temperature changes during operation. Multiphysics simulation software have previously quantified the fatigue placed on bonds exposed to these cyclic conditions, with a common metric being the volume-averaged inelastic strain energy density gained per cycle (ΔWavg). ΔWavg can identify which bonds are subjected to the greatest amount of fatigue and will thus fail first, and then quantify the effect of design alterations on those vulnerable bonds. A common design alteration seen in solder ball packaging is adding a polymeric material that encapsulates the bonds. If the polymer has a CTE like that of the package substrates and an elastic modulus (E) exceeding 1 GPa, it constrains the thermal warpage and lowers bond fatigue.
This thesis uses thermo-mechanical simulations to provide evidence on which bonds fail first in the package, and that material-based methods of fatigue reduction used in solder ball packing apply to this novel package. Chapter 1 explains how a desire to reduce the cost and increase the performance of electric vehicles led to the development of the PCB-Interposer-on-DBC design, and that the package's response to thermo-mechanical fatigue is unknown. The concepts of thermo-mechanical fatigue and using encapsulants to reduce it are established, along with how simulations are used to study said fatigue. Chapter 2 serves two purposes, the first being an explanation of the simulation settings and metrics used to establish the quality and assumptions used, and the second being a beginners guide on how to create these simulations.
Chapter 3 identifies the most probable locations of initial package failure and identifies what encapsulants minimize ΔWavg on those locations. The sintered silver bond expected to fail first is the Internal Gate bond, and an encapsulant with the maximum possible E and 8 ppm/°C minimizes ΔWavg. The Sn60Pb40 bond expected to fail first is the External Source 4 bond and using an encapsulant with the maximum possible E and a CTE of 24 ppm/°C minimizes ΔWavg. While ΔWavg cannot determine which of the two bonds fails first as they are made of different materials, the Internal Gate is prioritized as it has a higher per-cycle fatigue and to prevent loss of the gate signal.
Chapter 4 demonstrates how to perform a brief encapsulant study while ranking the expected cycles to failure when using four different encapsulant options. The first two options are to use no encapsulant or silicone gel. As the elastic modulus of silicone gels are too low to restrict or couple the thermally generated warpage, using silicone gel results in a ΔWavg comparable to using no encapsulant. The rigid encapsulant with the properties most like the optimal encapsulant identified for Internal Gate has the lowest ΔWavg¬ of the encapsulants tested. Guidelines are established for what properties an encapsulant must have to outperform said rigid encapsulant.
This work uses simulations to provide evidence that encapsulant methods used in ball grid array (BGA) packaging to reduce fatigue apply to a novel GaN HEMT package. By identifying the first-failure locations of the package, establishing what existing encapsulant should be used, and what encapsulation it should eventually be replaced with, these results provide the groundwork for both experimental temperatures cycling and more complex simulations. Such work fills the gap in understanding the reliable lifetime and common failure mechanisms of the PCB-Interposer-on-DBC package. / Master of Science / In modern engineering, the cause of failure in a well-designed electronic device is typically not a single event. Rather, it is the culmination of many smaller events that each cause a minor amount of damage. This cycle of repeated, minor damage is called fatigue.
When working with power or IC electronics, the most common type of fatigue occurs due to the device's changing temperature. Electronics undergo continuously changing temperatures due to the environment and their own energy losses, causing repeated cycles of heating and cooling. All materials expand upon heating and contract upon cooling , and the magnitude of this change is the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Electronic devices are comprised of dissimilar materials, so disparate components will expand and contract at different rates. Holding these disparate materials together are bonds, which in the process of holding this warped structure together, also deform. This deformation causes permanent damage, which accumulates in the bonds until they break. As these bonds often serve as pathways for the electrical signal or heat extraction, their failure either degrades or breaks the electrical devices.
While preventing bond fatigue is impractical, there are strategies to extend the operating lifetime. A common option used elsewhere is to encase the bonds with a polymer. If the polymer's properties are carefully selected, they can reduce the structural warpage, thereby reducing the fatigue on the bonds.
Previous Center for Power Electronics (CPES) research has culminated in a new electronics device called the Printed Circuit Board-Interposer-on-Direct Bonded Copper package (PCB-Interposer-on-DBC package). While general trends suggest which bonds will fail first and what kind of polymers reduce fatigue, this information has not yet been confirmed. This thesis uses computer simulations to identify which bonds will likely fail first, and to provide evidence that existing methods for reducing fatigue are viable for this unique package. The simulations work by subjecting a 3D model to a cycle of heating and cooling, called a temperature cycle, and quantifying the damage sustained by the bonds for every cycle.
Chapter 1 describes the relevant details leading to this package design, the importance of thermo-mechanical reliability in the design of electronics, and how to use simulation software to quantify reductions in bond fatigue. Chapter 2 explains how to set up these simulations and evaluate their quality. Chapter 3 identifies the initial locations of package failure and identifies what are the most optimal encapsulants to use. Chapter 4 identifies what existing encapsulant will maximize the package lifetime in experimental temperature cycling.

Planar Packaging and Electrical Characterization of High Temperature SiC Power Electronic DevicesYue , Naili 31 December 2008 (has links)
This thesis examines the packaging of high-temperature SiC power electronic devices. Current-voltage measurements were conducted on as-received and packaged SiC power devices. The planar structure was introduced and developed as a substitution for traditional wire-bonding vertical structure. The planar structure was applied to a high temperature (>250oC) SiC power device. Based on the current-voltage (I-V) measurements, the packaging structures were improved, materials were selected, and processes were tightly controlled.
This study applies two types of planar structures, the direct bond and the bump bond, to the high-temperature packaging of high-temperature SiC diode. A drop in the reverse breakdown voltage was discovered in the packaging using a direct bond. The root cause for the drop in the breakdown voltage was identified and corrective solutions were evaluated. A few effective methods were suggested for solving the breakdown issue. The forward I-V curve of the planar packaging using direct bond showed excellent results due to the excellent electrical and thermal properties of sintered nanosilver. The packaging using a bump bond as an improved structure was processed and proved to possess desirable forward and reverse I-V behavior. The cross-sections of both planar structures were inspected.
High-temperature packaging materials, including nano-silver paste, high-lead solder ball and paste, adhesive epoxy, and encapsulant, were introduced and evaluated. The processes such as stencil printing, low-temperature sintering, solder reflowing, epoxy curing, sputtering deposition, electroplating, and patterning of direct-bond copper (DBC) were tightly controlled to ensure high-quality packaging with improved performance.
Finally, the planar packaging of the high temperature power device was evaluated and summarized, and the future work was recommended. / Master of Science

Efeito dos teores de Si em aços ultra-resistentes e do V em aços ferramenta sinterizados nitretados ionicamente, sobre a resistência à abrasão / not availableMuñoz Riofano, Rosamel Melita 17 December 2002 (has links)
Os aços ultra-resistentes e os sinterizados estão bem estabelecidos tecnologicamente, sendo utilizados nas mais variadas aplicações. Entretanto para certas situações, como é o caso de componentes sujeitos aos desgaste severo, existe a necessidade de se melhorar suas propriedades superficiais. Dentre as técnicas de endurecimento superficial, a nitretação iônica se apresenta como uma boa alternativa para o tratamento desses aços, uma vez que as peças ficam menos suscetíveis a empenamentos e distorções, como ocorre em outros tratamentos superficiais convencionais e permite o controle adequado da camada produzida. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo estudar o efeito do silício em aços ultra-resistentes com relação ao tratamento térmico bem como a influência desse elemento na nitretação e conseqüentemente no desgaste abrasivo e verificar a influência do V sobre essas mesmas características no caso de aços sinterizados. Foram utilizadas oito ligas, com diferentes teores de silício e vanádio, que foram nitretados ionicamente em diferentes condições de temperatura e/ou tempo. As camadas nitretadas obtidas foram avaliadas por meio de ensaios de microdureza na superfície e na seção transversal, microscopia ótica e eletrônica de varredura, com microssonda (EDX), análise por difração de raios X e ensaios de abrasão do tipo \"pino-sobre-disco\". Observou-se que, com o aumento do teor de silício, nas ligas ultra-resistentes aumentou a dureza após o revenido e que a presença desse elemento aumenta consideravelmente a dureza da camada nitretada. O aumento do teor de silício produziu camadas de compostos menos espessas e de alta dureza, que apresentaram as melhores resistência ao desgaste abrasivo. As análises superficiais por meio de raio X demonstraram que essas camadas são formadas por uma mistura de nitretos γ\'-Fe4N, εFe2-3N, CrN, MoN e Si3N4, que variam suas proporções com as condições de nitretação. Nas ligas sinterizadas as durezas das camadas aumentaram consideravelmente depois da nitretação iônica, devido a formação de VN. No ensaio de desgaste abrasivo verificou-se que tal aumento de dureza resultou em uma menor perda de massa, quando a camada de compostos é constituída significativamente de VN e γ\'- Fe4N. O incremento do tempo de tratamento não influenciou na forma e tamanho dos carbonetos presentes nesses aços. / The ultra-strength and sintered steels are technologically very established, being used in the most varied applications. In the cases where the main selection requirements are the mechanical resistance and the cost of the material, those steels are an interesting option. However for certain applications, as it is the case of components subject to the severe wear, the need exists of improving its surface properties. Among the techniques of superficial hardening, the ion nitriding present it self as a good alternative for the treatment of those steels, once the specimen are less susceptible to the warpage and distortions, as it happens in another conventional superficial treatments. The objective of the present work is to study the effect of the Si in ultra-strength steels relating it to the heat treatment as well as the abrasive wear resistance of the same and of sintered tool steels with variable content of V, after ion nitriding. Eight alloys were used with different content of Si and V. The alloys were ion nitrided in different conditions of temperature and/or time. The nitrided layers obtained were appraised by means of microhardness test in the surface and in the cross section of the layers, optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), analysis for X-ray diffraction and \"Pin-on-Disc\" type abrasion test. It was observed that with the increase of the content of Si in the ultra-resistant alloys, increased the hardness after the tempering and the presence of that element it increases the hardness of the nitrided layer considerably. The increase of the content of Si produced smaller compound layers and of high hardness, that presented the best resistance to the abrasive wear. The superficial analysis by means of X-ray has shown that the compound layers are formed by a mixture of γ\'-Fe4N, e-Fe2-3N, CrN, MoN and Si3N4, nitrides that vary its proportions with the nitriding conditions. In the sintered alloys the hardness of the layers increased considerably after the ion nitriding, due to formation of VN. In the test of abrasive wear it was verified that such increase of hardness results in a smaller mass loss, when the compound layer is constituted of VN and γ\'-Fe4N phase. The increase of time of treatment did not influence in the shape and size of the present carbides in the steels.

Previous issue date: 2013-02-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / With the purpose of reduce wear in plain bearings, in initial turning periods, was evaluated tribologically the sintered metal patent in relation to the cast which is used in commercial bearings. In the present study have been conducted experiments using the dilatometer to determine the optimal temperature and time for sintering the white metal. In the sintered specimens was measured by scanning electron microscopy the sinterability. The need for this preliminary study is due to the difficulty in sintering of this alloy is as much difference in melting temperature between the three elements. Sliding wear tests were performed in tribometer pin-on-disc for evaluating the coefficient of friction and volume of material removed (as measured with the aid of profilometer) and compared with the white metal obtained by melting and bronze obtained by sintering. The wear mechanisms were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Of all configurations evaluated, the sintered bronze lubricated showed lower wear and sintered white metal lubricated had the lowest coefficient of friction. / Com o objetivo de reduzir o desgaste em mancais de deslizamento nos períodos iniciais de giro, foi avaliado tribologicamente o metal patente sinterizado como opção do fundido que é utilizado em mancais comerciais. No presente trabalho foram realizados experimentos com o dilatômetro para determinar a melhor temperatura e o tempo de sinterização para o metal patente. Nos corpos de prova sinterizados avaliou-se por meio do microscópio eletrônico de varredura a sinterabilidade. A necessidade desse estudo prévio dá-se pela dificuldade da liga na sinterização, pois há grande diferença de temperatura de fusão entre os três elementos. Aconteceram testes de desgaste por deslizamento com tribômetro de pino sobre disco para a análise do coeficiente de atrito e do volume de material removido (verificado com o auxílio de perfilômetro), além de depois terem sido comparados com o metal patente obtido por fundição e com o bronze oriundo da sinterização. Os mecanismos de desgaste foram observados por microscopia eletrônica de varredura. De todas as configurações examinadas, o bronze sinterizado lubrificado apresentou menor desgaste, e o metal patente sinterizado lubrificado teve o menor coeficiente de atrito

Caracterização tribológica da lubrificação sólida / Tribological Characterization of Solid LubricationJuste, Karyne Ramos de Campos 04 December 2012 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This work aims to study the tribological behavior of two solid lubricant materials used in different conditions: nanoparticles as additives for lubrication fluids and self-lubricating sintered steels. The synthetic base oil with different concentrations and kinds of nanoparticles (MoS2 particles, MoS2 nanoflowers, carbon nanotubes+MoS2, silver nanoparticles) was extensively evaluated through tribological tests: ball on disk scuffing; ball on disk constant load (250 N, 20min. duration) and constant load (2N, 20min. duration) reciprocating linear sliding tests assessing friction coefficient. None of the nanoparticles affected the friction coefficient in a significant way. The nanoparticles were found to be an aggregated state. On the other hand, the effect of sintering temperatures (1100, 1150 and 1200 °C) and precursor content (0-5%) on the tribological behavior of self-lubricating sintered steels, produced by metal injection molding (MIM), was analyzed by using linear reciprocating sliding tests (constant load 7N, 60 min. duration). Solid lubrication effect was produced by in situ formation of graphite nodules due to the dissociation of precursor (SiC particles) during sintering. It was shown that presence of the graphite nodules significantly improved the friction coefficient and the wear rate of the alloys and that the sintering temperature little affected these parameters. Chemical analyses of the wear scars by scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) and auger electron spectroscopy (AES) showed the presence of a tribolayer composed predominantly by carbon and oxygen. The graphite on the samples contributed to the formation of the tribolayer on the contact interface. It is suggested that during sliding graphite foils are removed from the in situ generated graphite nodules and remain at the interface thus contributing to the formation of the protective tribolayer. This tribolayer breaks up and forms during sliding and it is continuously replenished by graphite. Analyses of the wear scars showed the presence of plastic deformation traces on the samples and counter-bodies and the predominance of the wear mechanism by abrasion. Study of the influence of roughness surface showed that polishing the surfaces closed the graphite sources due to plastic deformation. This fact has resulted in a friction coefficient higher than 0.2, which means that, in this condition, this material does not act anymore as solid lubricant. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar o comportamento tribológico de dois materiais lubrificantes sólidos usados em diferentes condições: nanopartículas como aditivos de lubrificantes fluidos e aços sinterizados autolubrificantes. O óleo sintético, com diferentes concentrações e tipos de nanopartículas (partículas MoS2, nanoflores de MoS2, nanotubos de carbono + MoS2, nanopartículas de prata), foi extensivamente avaliado por meio de testes tribológicos: pino sobre disco sob carga variável (scuffing) e constante (250N, durante 20 minutos) e deslizamento linear alternado (2N, durante 20 minutos). O coeficiente de atrito não apresentou alterações significativas com a presença das nanopartículas no óleo, sendo esse comportamento atribuído ao estado de aglomeração das mesmas. Por outro lado, o efeito da temperatura de sinterização (1100, 1150 e 1200 ° C) e do teor de precursor (0-5%) no comportamento tribológico dos aços sinterizados autolubrificantes, produzidos por moldagem de pós por injeção (MIM), foram analisados por meio de testes de deslizamento linear alternado sob carga constante (7N, durante 60 minutos). O efeito de lubrificação sólida foi produzido pela formação in situ de nódulos de grafita devido à dissociação do precursor (SiC) durante a sinterização. Foi mostrado que a presença de nódulos de grafita melhorou significativamente o coeficiente de atrito e a taxa de desgaste das ligas, e que a temperatura de sinterização pouco afetou estes parâmetros. As análises químicas das marcas de desgaste por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (SEM-EDX) e espectroscopia por elétron auger (AES) mostraram a presença de uma tribocamada composta predominantemente por carbono e oxigênio. Sugeriu-se que durante o deslizamento as folhas de grafita são removidas dos nódulos gerados in situ e permanecem na interface contribuindo assim para a formação da tribocamada protetora. Esta, por sua vez, rompe-se e forma-se durante o deslizamento sendo continuamente reabastecida pela grafita. As análises das marcas de desgaste das amostras e dos contra-corpos mostraram a presença de sulcos produzidos por deformações plásticas e a predominância do mecanismo de desgaste por abrasão. Estudos da influência da rugosidade superficial mostraram que as superfícies polidas apresentaram o fechamento das fontes de grafita devido à deformação plástica. Este fato deu origem a um coeficiente de atrito superior a 0.2, o que significa que, nestas condições, o material deixa de atuar como lubrificante sólido. / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica
