"This volume covers not only the basic technologies, but also the latest advances in these areas. Organized into three main sections, coverage begins with discussions on the materials used and their key properties, including a comparison of those properties with the requirements of high-performance, cost-effective power modules and the pros and cons of selected materials. The focus then shifts to manufacturing processes and quality control. The authors outline each key manufacturing operation and its corresponding inspection techniques and include two detailed manufacturing flow charts, one for the standard approach and one for a new all-solder approach. The final section of the book examines actual samples based on four different designs. The authors compare these samples in terms of thermal-electrical performance, thermal-mechanical performance, physical characteristics, and cost."--BOOK JACKET.
