    Abstract: An integrated power control assembly mounted on an axial end of a three-phase motor includes a substrate, two input busbars each of positive and negative polarities alternatively spaced apart on the substrate, a plurality of sets of paired devices, and three output busbars corresponding to the three phases of the motor, wherein a set of paired devices includes a switching semiconductor and a diode. An inner input busbar has edges adjacent to an inner input busbar of opposite polarity and an outer input busbar of opposite polarity and configured to have at least twice as many devices as the outer input busbars. One or more sets of paired devices are disposed axially on outer input busbars and on inner input busbars along the edges. An individual output busbar is disposed over and electrically coupled to one or more sets of paired devices disposed on adjacent input busbars of opposite polarity.

    Abstract: A method of forming a bonding assembly that includes positioning a plurality of polymer spheres against an opal structure and placing a substrate against a second major surface of the opal structure. The opal structure includes the first major surface and the second major surface with a plurality of voids defined therebetween. The plurality of polymer spheres encapsulates a solder material disposed therein and contacts the first major surface of the opal structure. The method includes depositing a material within the voids of the opal structure and removing the opal structure to form an inverse opal structure between the first and second major surfaces. The method further includes removing the plurality of polymer spheres to expose the solder material encapsulated therein and placing a semiconductor device onto the inverse opal structure in contact with the solder material.

    Abstract: An assembly that includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a stress mitigation layer disposed between the first and the second substrates. The stress mitigation layer is directly bonded onto the second substrate, and the second substrate is separated from the intermetallic compound layer by the stress mitigation layer. The stress mitigation layer has a high purity of at least 99% aluminum such that the stress mitigation layer reduces thermomechanical stresses on the first and second substrates. The assembly further includes an intermetallic compound layer disposed between the first substrate and the stress mitigation layer such that the stress mitigation layer is separated from the first substrate by the intermetallic compound layer.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for degassing and charging phase-change thermal devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a flask, a first shut-off valve fluidly coupled to an outlet of the flask, and a first valve fluidly coupled to the first shut-off valve by a fluid line. The system further includes a second valve fluidly coupled to the first valve, wherein the second valve is operable to be fluidly coupled to the phase-change thermal device, a second shut-off valve fluidly coupled to the second valve, a third valve fluidly coupled to the first valve, a vacuum pump fluidly coupled to the third valve, and a fluid injection device fluidly coupled to the fluid line between the first valve and the first shut-off valve. The fluid injection device draws the working fluid from the flask and injects a desired amount into the phase-change thermal device.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to an electronics assembly that includes a semiconductor device, a substrate layer, a first mesh layer and a second mesh layer. Jet channels that have a first inner diameter are disposed within the substrate layer. The first mesh layer includes a first plurality of pores that have a perimeter opening. The second mesh layer includes a second plurality of pores that have a second inner diameter. The jet channels, the first and the second plurality of pores are concentric to create a fluid path for a fluid to impinge a first device surface of the semiconductor device. The second inner diameter is smaller than the perimeter opening and the first inner diameter of the substrate layer such that a cooling fluid velocity increases when flowing from the substrate layer through the second mesh layer.
