Substrate / Spacer-Attach

In power module assemblies, the substrate serves as the thermomechanical foundation, supporting active devices and interconnects. Traditionally, the substrate is attached to a baseplate. However, alternative methods, such as Dual-Side Cooling, use a spacer to provide both mechanical support and efficient heat dissipation. Both approaches face challenges such as thermal and mechanical stress, warpage, and CTE mismatch, making the choice of reliable substrate-attach materials critical.
