“By creating a package environment that reduces chip-to-package junction temperatures, GaN chip efficiency and reliability can be improved. The success of the package’s performance is dependent on the base material used, the quality of the package construction, and the attachment process,” explained Casey Krawiec, vice president of global sales at StratEdge. “Almost 20 years ago, StratEdge began developing package designs and assembly processes specifically for GaN chips that maximize thermal dissipation.”
The webinar “Packages and Eutectic Die Attach for High-power GaN Devices,” by Casey Krawiec, details how StratEdge’s post-fired ceramic package with a copper-molybdenum-copper (CMC) base, and its proprietary eutectic die attach method, results in a near void-free attachment that reportedly reduces junction temperatures by 20 degrees Celsius as compared to standard assembly methods using ceramic packages of alternate construction.
