Abstract:Wideband gap (WBG) semiconductors are expected to be widely used in hybrid, electric, and fuel cell vehicles due to their high efficiency operation and possibility for system size reduction. These semiconductor devices are bonded to a substrate using solder or a high temperature capable thermal interface material also known as die attach. Device operating temperatures >200 °C are likely to put additional stress on the bonding system, which may result in thermal fatigue and cracks. Here, the authors report a… Show more
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.
