    Abstract: A dual-side cooling (DSC) semiconductor package includes a first metal-insulator-metal (MIM) substrate having a first insulator layer, first metallic layer, and second metallic layer. A second MIM substrate includes a second insulator layer, third metallic layer, and fourth metallic layer. The third metallic layer includes a first portion having a first contact area and a second portion, electrically isolated from the first portion, having a second contact area. A semiconductor die is coupled with the second metallic layer and is directly coupled with the third metallic layer through one or more solders, sintered layers, electrically conductive tapes, solderable top metal (STM) layers, and/or under bump metal (UBM) layers. The first contact area is electrically coupled with a first electrical contact of the die and the second contact area is electrically coupled with a second electrical contact of the die. The first and fourth metallic layers are exposed through an encapsulant.

    Abstract: A power module can include a casing mounted to a baseplate that contains a substrate with circuitry. The circuitry can include pins for coupling signals to/from the circuitry. These pins can extend through a cover portion of the casing so that an electronic substrate, such as a printed circuit board (PCB) can be press-fit onto the pins. When press-fit, the electronic substrate is supported and positioned by support pillars that extend from the base plate to above the cover portion of the casing. If the pins and the support pillars have different coefficients of thermal expansion, damage to connection points between the pins and the circuitry may occur. Here, a power module is disclosed that has thermally matched pins and support pillars so that when the system is thermally cycled over a range of temperatures, the connection points are not damaged by forces induced by thermal expansion.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device module may include a leadframe spacer that provides the functions of both a leadframe and a spacer, while enabling a double-sided cooling configuration. Such a leadframe spacer may include a leadframe surface that provides a die attach pad (DAP) that is shared by at least two semiconductor devices. The leadframe spacer may include at least one downset, where the semiconductor devices may be attached within a recess defined by the at least one downset. A first substrate may be connected to a first side of the leadframe. A second substrate may be connected to downset surfaces of the at least one downset, and positioned for further connection to the semiconductor devices in a double-sided assembly.

    Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed for high power inverter modules with enhanced thermal and mechanical performance, for use in electric vehicles. The disclosed devices feature enlarged clips that cover an entire die, to distribute mechanical forces, thus preventing die cracks for improved reliability. In these power modules, semiconductor dies are sandwiched between a three-layer direct bond metal (DBM) structure and the enlarged clip. A pre-molded clip assembly can be used that includes integrated metalliization to eliminate the need for external wire bonds. Alternatively, semiconductor dies can be inverted in a flip-chip configuration to face a modified DBM structure that integrates the metallization. Simulations of the disclosed power inverters indicate improved efficiency in dissipating heat.

    Abstract: Methods of forming semiconductor packages include providing a first insulator layer coupled with a first metallic layer. A recess is formed in the first metallic layer and a semiconductor die is mechanically coupled therein. The die is mechanically coupled with a second metallic layer and the second metallic layer is coupled with a second insulator layer. The die and layers are at least partially encapsulated to form the semiconductor package. The first and/or second metallic layers may be insulator-metal substrates, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) substrates, or may be formed of lead frames. In implementations the package does not include a spacer between the die and the first metallic layer and does not include a spacer between the die and the second metallic layer. In implementations the first insulator layer and the second insulator layer are exposed through the encapsulant or are mechanically coupled with metallic layers exposed through the encapsulant.
