In metallized ceramic technology substantial mechanical stresses arise in assembly, insertion and cyclic thermal loading of thermally enhanced modules. This paper describes some experimental and analytical investigations performed for safeguarding the structural integrity of modules in which heat conduction from the chip to the module cap was enhanced by a “thermal grease” compound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
